[Anita G ] Burning a CD from the JMDL 2011 m4a files, njc ["Jim L'Hommedieu" ] Re: Burning a CD from the JMDL 2011 m4a files, njc [Michael Paz Subject: Joni and her dad Funny - I was just thinking about Joni's dad the other day, wondering if he was still alive since he must be nearly a hundred years old. I had no idea when his birthday was, though. Thanks, Les, for the picture, they both look so sweet. Joni's dad looks like he is thinking he can't blow out all those candles, and Joni seems to encourage him. She looks pretty healthy to me but then again illness doesn't always show. Some of the people on the list - Catherine, Anita - have commented on old age and getting old. Catherine put it so well - the surprise when you realize that you are not young anymore, that your body does not behave as it used to. Not to mention the way you look - so strange to look into the mirror, I often wonder, is this really me? A couple of weeks ago I attended a get-together with old school mates, women I had not seen in 35 years. Some of them I would not have recognized had I met them in the street, some still had the same kind of look they always did. But all of them were ladies passed middle age! Realizing I was too, and how old I must look to them, did not come as a shock but the whole thing felt very strange. I wonder how Joni feels about getting old. Pity she does not write songs anymore...

There is so much important international news that does not reach me here unless I go digging deep for it, and this piece of trivia makes it all the way to the top! I do understand it is an important "human story" for people in and around LA - and having been in that town myself several times, I do listen up with some interest, but that does not justify its ranking in the order of priorities, when so much else remains unmentioned. This makes me hanker back to the days when I lived in Belgium: because the country is so small, we remain fairly humble in our perception of our importance, and give due place to other happenings in the world, regardless of where they are. But Britain has been so important as a world power, that it has mentally forgotten about "the others", unless they are somehow linked, such as its old colonies, or are part of the same Anglo-Saxon culture. Same with music, as I have mentioned a few times before...

I think he and his daughter both look quite good, considering the challenges of age and ill health. Of course, broad smiles of loving celebration can make almost anything disappear. I'll have to make a mental note to wish him the best on August 24. CC ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:54:45 +0100 From: Anita G Subject: Re: Joni sighting in Saskatoon. I have heard that there is a culture (ironically,can't remember who :~))) who don't have a word for dementia. They seem to accept simply that a person is in a certain stage of their life. Therefore, to take us as examples, Anita or Catherine would be often forgetting things, or sometimes confused, but not having something called 'dementia'. I think I would find that approach much easier to deal with. It seems more human and respectful. It's like people would be saying 'It's still Anita, but older and with some of the difficulties that ageing brings', rather than 'She's got dementia.'

He formed, along with John Phillips nd Scott MacKenzie, The Journeymen, Phillips pre-Mamas & Papas roup. Dick is still playing banjo in the Portland area and is o-cordinating the FAR-West conference in Eugene later this year. He has published MANY books on music history and the music biz, nd recently gave me a copy of his 2010 textbook Talkin' 'Bout A evolution: Music and Social Change in America. There are several ery positive references to Joni, and an interesting story I had ot heard before... "In her 1970 album Ladies of the Canyon Mitchell celebrated a ew York street clarinet player in the song "For Free." My friend srael Young had a music store called the Folklore Center near he corner where the street musician played. He told me that itchell had come back to visit the clarinetist after the record ame out. When he complained that she had made thousands of dollars rom the song and he'd gotten nothing, she bought him a new clarinet. ince he was a junkie, he immediately pawned it." *************************************************** teve Dulson Costa Mesa CA AR-West (Folk Alliance Region - West) inkersown@ca.rr.com www.far-west.org - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2011 12:01:14 -0700 rom: Lindsay Moon ubject: Graham's quote on Joni I cracked up: "Being in a relationship with Joni Mitchell is like walking into cement mixer." - Graham Nash on "Sounds" Lindsay - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2011 22:00:09 -0600 rom: Les Irvin ubject: Joni sighting in Saskatoon. http://bit.ly/r8rsOo - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2011 22:16:35 -0700 rom: "Mark" ubject: Re: Joni sighting in Saskatoon.

For you and Mark and others living with HIV, it seems like a really tough and lonely road. I admire your tenacity and spirit. It's good that there's been enough progress to make it more of a chronic condition in some cases, but there's so much more research to be done. (I guess I could start going off on health care here - how drug companies only have an incentive to peddle convenience drugs instead of investing in research...) As for Mark and the work trials, I can definitely relate. With the world changing so fast under our feet, it's such a challenge to keep going. Especially those of us who have lingering effects of major health issues. (For me, even though I'm cancer free, I still deal with after effects of the surgeries and treatment. Not to mention the occasional surprise, like the bill for $9000 that I got last week for a PET//CT scan - my insurance is refusing to cover any of it.) Anyway, I'm glad we still have our community here. Thanks to Les and others for that. lots of love, Anne ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2011 #208 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send to joni@smoe.org.
