Dave, Thanks for doing this - I put my tip in the jar and anxiously await this year's collection. Last year's was indeed outstanding.

Note also that Jessica Lange lip-synched the Patsy Cline singing. So perhaps whoever plays Joni could do the same. Even when singers sing their own parts in movies, they lip-synch vocals actually done in a recording studio.

Dear Joniphiles, It's time once again for the annual JoniMitchell.com fundraiser and, as for the past two years, everyone who makes a donation will be treated to a download collection of Joni covers. The musicians among us are invited to record a Joni cover (just one please) and send it to me at this email address via Dropbox or Yousendit. Important: AIFF, Apple Lossless or WAV formats are what I need; Mp3s or Mp4 files will not work as they can't be edited or mastered. Contact me offlist if you need help understanding the digital audio jargon. Each year the quality of the covers submissions has been outstanding. I'm sure this year will be no exception. Donations from any and all can be made via Paypal or even a mailed check to http://jonimitchell.com/donate.cfm yours in music, Dave ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 14:32:31 -0700 From: Betsy Blue Subject: Purple Rain/ Joni Coyote Rick said; "Never having been a huge Prince fan, I've not paid a lot of attention to his music. On the way into work this AM, our local (awesome) classic rock station was playing a salute to 1984. This song started which at first I thought was Joni, sounding something like would come from TTT. It all happened so fast, my not-yet-fully-awake brain didn't consider the chronology. Alas, turns out it was Purple Rain. I recall Joni and Prince having a cordial relationship. Just wondering if anyone else has heard a musical similarity?" Now I'm a big fan of Prince, and happen to think he is an innovator, not just a hybrid. He was deeply influenced by Joni, and I hear it in his rhythm and harmony. There are the obvious references to Joni and the song Help Me in The Ballad of Dorothy Parker, but the sampling technique is actually very similar to This Flight Tonight. Mr. McGee is the boss of the 5 and dime in Raspberry Beret, and has a General Store in Paprika Plains. Who else wears berets? These songs also share the "weather report" conveying emotion. Controversy has "*Joni*" on the back cover. I always think of Shadows and Light when Let's Go Crazy starts up. And don't forget A Case of U! Prince also wrote a song intended for Joni, but she didn't record it. One of my friends had a couple of professional encounters with Prince and found him to be very amiable. He was also wearing leggings on both occasions and a backwards sweater on one, but that's another story.
