Joni must be enjoying a peaceful life at her beautiful place in Canada. Meeting her up there was a reality check for me. She is who she is now. Through her recorded music and videos, it's Joni illusions I recall, I really don't know Joni, at all.

I think that there are some of us that see joni's wide volume of contribution and say, joni (Play) do what you want, We are so grateful for all you have given us. . . oF COURSE we would like anything, anything, anything at all that you could say or write. . but WE ACCEPT IT that you are possibly at a time to kind of retire. . . (we just want your happiness) you have given so much then there are others who are just clinging to needed and wanting more. we want more truth and beauty I understand both sides, I guess that I am sort of more in the acceptance stage. . but it sure would be nice to bring a joni fest to joni lOve to all, Marianne From: "Gary Hanick" It seems like we're grasping for any bit of Joni news and it feels sad. Hopefully she will have new music out in 2014, which will be a 7- year gap since "Shine". My sense is that she does not want to release anything unless it is really really good. Plus, she has no label. Maybe it will only be released on line and she will change her opinion of the internet. Every Dylan release -- at least since the 80's -- gets acclaim as his best yet, but tends to have a short shelf life. I think his last few really suck - -- sorry. Joni's gets either ignored or panned, yet grows in recognition over time. How unfair is this? Just musing.. > It seems like we're grasping for any bit of Joni news and it feels sad Hi Gary I am curious about your sadness. What is that feels sad to you Best things Anita ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:03:24 -0500 From: Michael Sentance Subject: Joe Smith & Joni As some may be aware, Joe Smith - described as a music executive - donated to the Library of Congress a collection of over 250 "off the record" interviews with significant figures in rock/rock/pop music in the 1970s-1990s. The first set of these interviews have just been posted on the Library of Congress website: http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/joesmith/. Some of them are amusing while others are bit a painful. Joni Mitchell was interviewed sometime in the 1986-88 period but her interview is not yet available. Graham Nash is among the first set and does mention his relationship with Joni very briefly. Other unreleased interviews of those who intersected with Joni's life and career include James Taylor, Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Herbie Hancock and David Geffen. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2013 02:45:00 +0000 From: Anita Subject: Re: Joni Covers, Volume 77 - First & Last Happy New Year dear Bob and everyone and thank you for keeping us together!

When I first came across Blue, I played it first thing every morning while getting ready for college courses. Every afternoon, I returned home and played it again, and again in the evening while boiling some catastrophe I called spaghetti. I played it constantly. When I found Ladies of the Canyon, just before my escape trip to Saint Lucia in the fall of that year, another attempt at getting over the heartbreak that Blue was helping me through, I played the tape in my jeep while dodging potholes and going to and from the marina. It was THE perfect setting for that album and I don't think I listened to another album the entire time. I was on my third reading of Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" and was feeling a little stronger as a woman, but also softer, and more open to potential vulnerability with the assistance of LOTC. A few years later, after making my way through as many of her albums as I could find, I was reading an interview with her in Guitar Magazine and I realized SHE'S STILL ALIVE. I knew this of course, but the sensation that filled the cells of my consciousness was sudden, present, thwarting. I couldn't believe I was alive at the same time as this incredible artist. She and I were breathing the same days through. We're all so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet her, write her a letter, watch her perform. It's my big nah-ne-nah-ne-boo-boo to future generations who will go without the chance to make contact, make an impression on her, shower appreciation ... To simply thank her as many of you have. Happy New Year to you all! Thank you for including me in this exchange. It enriched my life. I hope my minor contribution has enriched yours.
