Sheila Weller wrote in part, >... Carole and Cynthia were actually filling large- if little-remembered- shoes. The 1920s and 1930s had been a kind of unacknowledged Golden Age of women tunesmiths. There was Dorothy Fields, with her lyrics for "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "On the Sunny Side Of The Street," "A Fine Romance," and "The Way You Look Tonight"; Dana Suesse, who wrote "The Night Is Young And You're So Beautiful" and "You Ought To Be In Pictures"; and Ann Ronell, of "Willow, Weep For Me" and, thumbing its nose at the Depression through Disney cartoon characters, "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?"> For the benefit of those new to the JMDL, Dorothy Fields' son is right here on the JMDL- David Lahm. Although his two CDs of Joni's songs are no longer on CDBaby, I have both and play them all the time. I guess that makes them out-of-print collectables.

The Creative Odyssey. During my reading I learned a lot of new information about Joni's artistic life. I asked myself whether the bootleg video of Bob Dylan's "Renaldo and Clara" really don't contain any scenes with Joni. I am talking about the video that is supposed to run about 260 minutes. And the internet sources do tell us that Joni is part of the cast. On wikipedia I found the info that Dylan later edited a cinema version of his material lasting only about 2 hours. Perhaps this is the answer to the question. The writer of the book, K. Monk, often repeats that Joni can't be seen in individual scenes because Joni decided against her commitment to this project. Do you know whether the long video does include footage with Joni that finally was left out for the shorter version? My second question is about Joni's male alter ego that she has nurtured over the years. It would be wonderful to finally get the chance to see Art Noveaus appearance in a short film called The Black Cat in the Black Mouse Socks (part of the compilation "Love" done by several female artists). On the internet I didn't find any video material. I know that the film was shown in Munich a couple of months ago. But they couldn't help me either. It would be great if someone could send me useful information on Renaldo and Art. Thank you very much, Best wishes Andreas. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #1157 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
