Thanks for that Michael, great interview. sue - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Michael Sentance Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 9:58 AM To: joni@smoe.org Subject: Judy Collins on Joni: "She's a difficult woman" There was a recent (October 27, 2011) interview with Judy Collins in the New York Times. The recording of the interview is embedded in their web page. It's pretty interesting. The interview starts with about 19:48 left on the podcast after an interview with the Dum-Dum Girls. A group that is outside the realm of my experience. Anyway, the link is here: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/27/popcast-interviews-with-dum-dum-girls-and-judy-collins/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2011 07:12:15 -0800 From: Dave Blackburn Subject: Dizzy's concert links Here are two links from Sunday's show at Dizzy's where our full 8pc band performed Blue and Court and Spark. Kakki, Lindsay, Steve and Roch were in the front row so they can tell you more but we had a great night ourselves and look forward to having the videos available to share soon. The San Diego Reader review is here: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/jam-session/2011/nov/07/joni-mitchell-t ributesro-at-dizzys/ The photos by Sports photographer Dennis Andersen are here: http://actionsportsphoto.smugmug.com/Music/ROBIN-ADLER-DAVE-BLACKBURN-1/19966 091_cX3B3T Happy birthday Joni!

Susan Boyle sings Both Sides Now on Joni's birthday on an ITV daytime chat/magazine show. Subo is a kind of guilty pleasure - she lives just up the road from here." I haven't kept up with all the digests lately, but I do not recall seeing a report on this yet, so here goes: Susan Boyle appeared on Piers Morgan on Friday night as the second part of a two part interview, which featured her performing Both Sides Now. I think she left out a verse. Here's a link - I found the interview a bit amusing. It's 15 minutes. The song is near the end. Not sure how to control skipping to end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgsvm-muxoM&feature=share Bobsart ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2011 13:34:57 -0500 From: Michael Sentance Subject: Re: Judy Collins on Joni: "She's a difficult woman" I wish Joni was happier and more understanding of her standing among her fans and the world. I certainly understand that her irritation about being overlooked as a poet (although the forth-coming book might help). At the conclusion of Sheila Weller's book, I thought Joni might have found some peace and contentment. But some of her recent comments about contemporaries seems to suggest otherwise. And then there are Neil Strauss's comments. Perhaps she's working on that five volume autobiography and the opening old wounds causes renewed pain. Anyway, it's a long time since that wonderful Rowland Scherman photo of Joni and Judy in a treehouse which can be seen here: https://www.morrisonhotelgallery.com/photo/default.aspx?photographID=3688 One of the reasons for Judy Collins' comments is that "Cactus Tree" is on her new release, "Bohemian".

I thought she did pretty job, but did omit the verse about love. I assumed they did this because of time constraints. I would hope that the recorded version had all the verses.

I had the great fortune to catch her show, solo on electric piano in a small joint in Marin County during the summer of 1990. I'll never forget that. She was loved by many. Michael in Quebec Gary wrote: I know many of you may have seen this before, but I always see something new in it, I guess because it is so rare. In honor of Laura Nyro's birthday tomorrow, I'm sending along this video that appears to only be available today and tomorrow, so if you love her, like her, or are just curious, have a look at this wonderful woman we've lost. She's one of the few artists that Joni always spoke favorably of. I apologize in advance for those who may not appreciate the little Joni content in this message! http://www.myspace.com/video/laurishkan/one-day-only/108270114#pm_cmp=O_5102_ notif Happy Birthday, Laura!
