The newer people I love hearing in concert is Patti Hood (who sings like an angel and plays a huge harp which the famous Harpo Marx once played in one of his films with his brothers) and Raina Rose who hails from Austin, TX.. I tried sending one of my paintings of Joni but it doesn't seem to come through onto the site here. I also did one of Patti Smith too back when I was able to keep that up. Its great that Grace Slick also does great paintings like Joni. I'd been painting since 1973 but now the smell of any paint chews thru my brain like a buzzsaw. Joni should probably have her own art museum since she's done so many great works. Happy 70th, babe! You're still the best!

I think Susan Derek are fantastic. I have worked with both of them serperate and toegther and few times. Susan sat in with Blind Boys of Alabama one time when I was working a show at Tipitinas and man she crushed it. Great player and both are super nice down to earth folks. Are you still playing?

Are you part of the McCarron brothers with TWO Joni covers under your belt? If so, you guys rock. If not, you still rock. I LOVE and live for new music. Lived through all the classic stuff and it was great but what's around the corner? That's what I want to know. That attitude led me to listen to this crazy record called Hejira back in 1976 and I'm still looking for something to top it. Haven't heard it yet but keeping my ears open. Bob NP: Ambrosia, "Mama Frog" ________________________________ From: Marc McCarron To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Saturday, November 2, 2013 3:16 PM Subject: new perspective I've been a Joni fan for 35years just listened to a recent interview with her I think she was spot on regarding tributes not exactly what people on this site want to hear. Two female artists come to mind as relevant in 2013, M.I.A. will be coming out with a new album in December and Lissie just put out her new album a few days ago. (Her first was outstanding this one is good). Cat Empire's "Steal the Light" is by far the best album of 2013, a male group from Australia. There is great new music being created by musicians that are talented beyond belief and true to themselves. I think the best tribute we could give to Joni would be sharing among ourselves artists that are not imitators or tribute attention seekers, but artists who deserve buzz because they are creating music worth listening to. Getting caught up in Pop music bashing is demeaning to our intellects. If you love Joni's music (not just enamored with Blue and pre Don Juan's Reckless Daughter part of the catalogue) you have an intellect and ear that should live in the present as well as the past 500 years of multiple genres. Listen to KCRW on the web and stay open to today. Listening to new music is like panning for gold hard work for a few flecks worth keeping. but when you listen to an artist like M.I.A for the first time you understand why you put in the effort. Question because I don't know the answer. Has Joni ever given an opinion about Patti Smith? seems like she would acknowledge her existance at some point. Thanks, Marc Fall in love with Cool Jazz if you haven't already Jazz was never meant to be Smooth. - ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #1593 ****************************** - ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.

I have been absent from the list most of the month, travelling all over the country, from the Gulf Stream Waters to the Redwood forests (literally) and then to Raleigh NC for a week, too busy to respond to emails. Glad my little comment stirred things up. Anyway - let me just clarify a few things: 1. I'm good at several things; my job, being a Dad, tennis and others. I really suck at other things; golf, cooking, and especially misogyny. Not that that's something I WANT to be good at. Thanks Shari for pointing that out, even though we've never met. 2. I have no problem with Katy Perry's music - "I Kissed A Girl" was a brilliant pop song, she hasn't followed that with anything that has impressed me, but I can appreciate what she does in the context of making pop music. When I am hanging out with my next-door neighbors and we have a spontaneous dance party with their 6 and 3-year old kids, we turn on "Katy Perry Radio" on Pandora. Her music is fun, boppy, bouncy, danceable stuff. What I DO have a problem with is hearing someone say, "I'll probably turn into a Joni Mitchell", which reminded me of Canada's program to 'make van Goghs" that Joni railed against for good reason. I'm not going to sit down and do a "paint-by-numbers" work and imagine that I'll probably turn into Picasso. That would be a stupid thing to think. As stupid as, I don't know, marrying Russell Brand and thinking it would work out. 3. I was a fan of Hole but didn't have Celebrity Skin until Rob recommended it. It's hands-down my favorite Hole album. As for new music, that's basically ALL I listen to. Go back to my original post and you'll see that I was spinning the new Arcade Fire record. It came out YESTERDAY. And bonus that Hole has a Joni cover to their credit. 4. I don't believe that Joni would be supportive in any way of Katy Perry's work. From a 2002 interview: Mitchell herself refuses to do anything to try to become more salable. bWhat would I do?b she says, laughing. bShow my t*ts? Grab my crotch? Get hair extensions and a choreographer? Itbs not my world.b One of the most constantly evolving of contemporary recording artists, she has never fit into any one category, going from folk to rock to jazz and making forays into world music and classical, all while firmly turning her back on the mainstream. Thanks for the discussion, always.
