The photos are classic, the article is wonderful (writer Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers), and there is an awesome gear section and a spot on transcription of Just Like This Train. I also love that this article came out after Turbulent Indigo which really reveals the full circle of the guitar odyssey as Mr. Rodgers describes it. I keep the original magazine in an environmentally regulated glass case. (JK) Excerpt: "There's a certain kind of restlessness that not many artists are cursed or blessed with, depending on how you look at it," Mitchell said. "Craving change, craving growth, seeing always room for improvement in your work." In that statement lies the key to her music: seeing it as an ongoing process of invention, rather than a series of discrete and final statements. So how does Mitchell discover the tunings and fingerings that create these expansive harmonies? Here's how she described the process: "You're twiddling and you find the tuning. Now the left hand has to learn where the chords are, because it's a whole new ballpark, right? So you're groping around, looking for where the chords are, using very simple shapes. Put it in a tuning and you've got four chords immediately- open, barre five, barre seven, and your higher octave, like half fingering on the 12th. Then you've got to find where your minors are and where the interesting colors are - that's the exciting part. "Sometimes I'll tune to some piece of music and find [an open tuning] that way, sometimes I just find one going from one to another, and sometimes I'll tune to the environment. Like 'The Magdalene Laundries' [from Turbulent Indigo; the tuning is B F# B E A E]: I tuned to the day in a certain place, taking the pitch of birdsongs and the general frequency sitting on a rock in that landscape."

I'll never forget that the interviewer asked her "You have a thing for bass players" which I thought pretty insightful. Great interview. Looked online, it doesn't seem available. I've saved the issue, but have no idea where it is in my house.....put away in some box, somewhere. Does anyone remember this interview ? GREETINGS FROM THE TRIPLE M Down a gravel road, where the barb wire meets the sky. MARY M.
