McNamara" ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:12:05 +0000 From: "Susan E. McNamara" Subject: RE: Eastern Rain One of my very favorite Joni songs. She uses an eastern raga effect which is spine tingling. I love a radio recording I have where she ends the song, and the DJ and Gordon Lightfoot are pretty gaga with stumbling lamo comments ... like "what was that chord thingy there ..." It's in open G and Marian Russell did a spot on transcription. I would encourage all guitar players to try it!! http://jonimitchell.com/music/transcription.cfm?id=75&from=search If you don't have a recording, listen to the link below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYY85HwP0g4 Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2013 5:04 PM To: jlhommedieu@insight.rr.com Cc: joni@smoe.org Subject: Eastern Rain Another song with those weird minor chords is "Eastern Rain". I think that Christina/Henning interpreted that one.> They did, on their "Treasures of Joni Mitchell" CD which is certainly a must have for those of us who LOVE those original unreleased songs that Joni has; sadly it is currently unavailable. It was first covered by Fairport Convention in 1968, as were a number of her songs. A band called The Lazy Eyes also released a version in 2004 that's very interesting.
