I would include the fests too since it's along the same lines as a tribute, plus the camaraderie that is generated in her name ... That's really the point ... To show how her music inspires ...

I can't remember my parents being obsessed with any particular artist and I know my kids have certain artists they love (my daughter is ridiculously obsessed with John Mayer and would kill me if she saw this email), but my son seems to love the indie stuff as well as the music of the boomer generation. Most of what I hear of Top 40 stuff just sounds like noise to me, but maybe that's what all the old people say. >________________________________ > From: Laurie Antonioli >To: Dave Blackburn >Cc: shadows and light ; JMDL ; Les Irvin >Sent: Friday, October 25, 2013 10:48:58 PM >Subject: Re: joni tributes > > >Here's the press release that went out a couple days ago: > >http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/10/prweb11249327.htm > >Just keeping with the "baby boomer" thing and how much we love the music of >our generation, it doesn't say this in the press release, but were it not >for Joni (and Neil Young) I would not have had a life in music.

It came out on Tuesday. I'm obsessed with lists, and with any list, I like (and dislike) many things about this one. Only Blue and The Hissing of Summer Lawns made it. Blue is sixty two spots too low, but whatever.

I think she'll ultimately be remembered as a composer first and foremost, and will be one of the few whose work will resonate for many future generations. Now that she doesn't tour or record it's up to others to keep her music live in front of audiences and to keep the interpretations fresh, just as people do with the jazz canon. I squirm a little when the term "tribute band" is mentioned, as it has connotations of wigs and impersonators. Do classical musicians get called "a tribute act" when they perform a program of Mozart, or jazz musicians a program of Porter or Gershwin? Joni's body of work is as important as any composer one can mention and I'm sure will inspire performers for decades, maybe even centuries, to come.
