(And I'm a big Who fan too!) Hugs, Steve Sue wrote: Continuing on my obsession with Clouds, I was wondering who owns the original painting? I assume that Joni still has it but is that true. I was just looking at her comments from the StarArt book at the jm.com website. http://jonimitchell.com/paintings/view.cfm?id=11&recs=3#viewing *************************************************** Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA FAR-West (Folk Alliance Region - West) tinkersown@ca.rr.com www.far-west.org ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 06:57:12 -0700 From: "Eaton, Shari" Subject: Re: another interview So happy you got your Joni answer. I don't perform her music now but I did in college and I definitely backed it up and listened again when she broke the chord down. I like what she said about the music dictating the lyrics in the Morrissey interview as well. She can't help but be fascinating, can she? And stunning! I often think of her joyful, very giving temperament as well. One last find (for now) Dancin' Clown music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73IvazD2u6c On Aug 16, 2012, at 4:54 AM, Susan Tierney McNamara wrote: > Shari, what an amazing video.

The explanation of the process of creating the CIFTC video was so filled with obtuse Joni metaphor at the beginning of this interview, that I wasn't sure what she was talking about. When I realized she was talking film jargon about dissolves and directing herself and her motions while she was singing, I thought to myself, if she can create a video and manipulate film and create such collage effects, why can't she send an email? Too boring, I'm sure!! :-) > > I was in complete rapture when she started talking about the guitar. From the point where she was talking about her harmonic style, Prince and Hissing of Summer Lawns (sigh!) and also her discussion of how Court and Spark set up Hissing for failure, which taught her that if you have success the next project should be full of experimentation because no one is going to like it anyway. So I believe that Night Ride Home gave her permission to complete the resurgence of her master craft on guitar which was realized so triumphantly on Turbulent Indigo. (more sighing) > > OK Tuning her guitar. C77235 (Night Ride Home tuning) Ominous, inquiry, doubt, possibility, resolution! But Joni what chord is that? DOY Doofus!

Amazing cinematography and music, and a real treat to experience Joni doing "Coyote" in High Def, while in her prime... one of her best performances, IMO.
