If she signed them look for a date next to her signature. Details, please! It would be nice to see pictures of these too when your posting pics for Dave and Gene....... Oh, and please don't forget those of us that are NOT on facebook. It would be nice for us to be able to have a link to see these pictures too not just for 'friends' (is that how FB photos work?)

Very high-energy show with a feisty little band. I like that Fiona is doing what Joni did; not sticking to a formula, and, for the first time, self-producing (or at least co-producing). RR I've listened to Fiona Apple's new album a couple of dozen times now, and the more I listen, the more I like it. Unusual rhythms, Native American-inspired chanting and drums, dissonance, odd metaphors, rounds (with her sister), background screams...they're all there. Anyone else heard it? > Betsy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2012 21:16:02 +0100 From: Anita Subject: Re: Conversations with Joni (NJC) I really understand the enormity of the feelings behind the possibilty of meeting Joni.I have had the great good fortune,as a fan,to have met Joni twice.The first time I was almost overwhelmed as I didn't know how I would find words.Joni was most gracious and kind and helped me out.I found my tongue when I realised she had a cold and we talked cold remedies.It was one of the most important experiences of my life as the exchange became one human being talking with another about something very simple.In my life,it taught me about the ordinary being extraordinary, sometimes. It wasn't a smart or clever exchange, but I learned a great deal personally from it.The second meeting was completely different.Joni was cold free :-) and we talked about what she was doing and she asked a little about Steph and I. The problem with planning what to say,for me at least,is that it takes me away from the moment and I am not fully present so miss the moment of meeting.So I am planning on not planning! For each of us who get to Ruby Lake,we have to listen and trust ourselves. That way,if one or more get the chance to talk with Her Joniness, the right words will come,whether it be a discussion about Nietzche or Vick cold remedies. My experience has taught me there's room for both and they hold equal value.

Sadly, Coco passed away a short time ago." http://jonimitchell.com/paintings/view.cfm?id=449&recs=288#viewing This is sad news. Seems like Coco was Joni's constant companion. This is the first I've heard of this. Sharon, As cat lovers know (and I am one), we like to 'talk' cats. Joni is a big cat lover, for sure. That very thought crossed my mind too, before others have pointed out may not be 'appropriate' for a first meeting. If I were going I would love to bring photos of some of her cat paintings, the ones I don't know names of, and ask her: "What's this kitty's name?" and "What did you title this painting" of the cat paintings that are Untitled on the JM Website. She has interesting stories for all her cat's names;Nietzsche, Pansy, Mojo, Muhammad Ali and El Cafi. I'd also like to ask her the names of the 'two cats in the yard' fame from Graham Nash's Our House. Does she have cats living with her up in Canada? Actually I'd just like to "interview" her about her cats! So I get where your coming from! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTR4HuN21nA&feature=plcp She's even credited cats for helping her finish the album Turbulent Indigo while in a state of divorce from Larry Klein. "We made this album in a state of divorce. We had cats for help. We went out to a pet-shop and got a couple of cute little cats to frolic around to take the tension off the engineer." http://jonimitchell.com/library/video.cfm?id=287&from=search Joni, I'm sure has some empathy for nervous fans as well. Do you remember how nervous she was when she went to meet Georgia O'Keefe the first time....as a fan? Didn't she go to the house, walk around it and then make a hasty retreat because of nerves/fear? Here's a link to the story: http://jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=9&from=search At one time Joni had mentioned in an interview that she wanted to write a book about her time with Georgia O'Keefe. The time that they did finally get together and Joni stayed at her house. I wonder if that's something she still entertains doing? Really, tho, who's to say what may strike Joni's fancy about talking and what she would actually find annoying at any given time and unengage herself in a conversation. Cats are on display in more than one of her albums, in photos and in paintings. Since one of her cats even inspired the song, Man From Mars, I don't think it's "that" off base to discuss her pets. She obviously has deep feelings for them, inspired by them and forms relationships with them that goes beyond just 'house pet'. Laura From: "Cindy Casey, RN" ...............Joni has not mentioned her interest in cats to me. Dogs yes. She has a very unruly Jack Russell terrier puppy. Cindy Registered Nurse, Morgellons patient and activist, Foundation Director, Joni fan www.thecehf.org From: Sharon Watkins Subject: Conversations with Joni Every grandmother loves to talk about her grandchildren, so maybe that's a goodtopic. Also, Joni's always been a cat lover, so maybe her pets would be a good topic too. And she loves bowling, gardening, cooking and playing pool. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #1400 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
