The latest season of The Voice Australia featured this Joni song. I imagine most of the young viewers had never heard the song or Joni's name before! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glIMgL3XRvw Ange in Oz angetakats.com.au > Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2013 20:31:25 -0800 > From: "Mark" > Subject: Re: Holy shit batman!!!!! > > I just saw this and did not feel that James butchered the song.

Souonds like a blast! Best Paz On Nov 5, 2013, at 5:41 PM, Ange T wrote: Hello lovely listers, I wanted to share some exciting news with you. I've been invited to perform at the Australian version of Woodstock. It's a massive music festival featuring 500 artists, set in the lush green rolling hills of south east Queensland (www.*woodfordfolkfestival*.com). It's a bloody hard festival to crack, so I'm REALLY happy! I have seven gigs including... wait for it... a Joni tribute concert gig! Here's the official blurb in the program: *LADIES OF THE CANYON CONCERT: **This year's Canadian imports - Rose Cousins, Kim Wempe and Mo Kenny, join forces with Australian favourites Leah Flanagan and Ange Takats and Scottish songstress Rachel Sermanni in a song circle that introduces their own work via a favourite work from the iconic Joni Mitchell.* I will be singing 'The Last Time I Saw Richard' - as well as two songs of my own. Anyone fancy a trip to Australia over Christmas/ New Year? If so, be sure to come to Woodford for some Joni-magic!

Well it was like beat the clock all day today to try and get the birthday card in fed ex before 5:30. I actually had a hard time getting the paperwork done but the fed ex guy waited for me to fill everything out so that was nice. I put the birthday card and a 3-page flyer talking about Jonifest, Tributes and the web page in a blue fabric notebook. The cover of the notebook had a 5 in by 5 in cutout in it where you could put a picture, so I cut out the picture of Joni I put on the cover of the card and inserted it in the cutout. It looked pretty good. The card itself came out to 18 pages, with 100 signatures. I put headers on each page with a picture of Joni from different eras and lyrics to her songs. Then at the end of the card I had a three-page flyer describing the recent fests and tributes that the JMDL was involved with. I also gave a little update on the JM.com website. I saw this as kind of an annual report of what was happening with the community. Here are the links to the PDFs of the card and the fllyer. I apologize for any information you may have put in the tribute section of the survey that didn't make it into the flyer. The card itself came out so huge that I ran out of time (and brain matter, frankly). https://www.hightail.com/download/OGhlYnU5OW5qY3BsQXNUQw https://www.hightail.com/download/OGhlYnV6VEhTSUJnRXNUQw I also decided at the last minute to send Joni a gift. I've been thinking about sending this item to her for a long time, but I loved it so much I hated to part with it. It is a wooden music box I found on ebay that plays Both Sides Now. It has a carved yellow finch on the cover of the box which is pretty nice. I made a little video of it a couple of years ago. You can see it in the link below. http://cloudheights.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-favorite-christmas-present.html Thanks again to everyone who participated in this. I also have to say that I snagged some pictures from Jonifests without checking with everyone first, so if you see your picture in the flyer and you don't like it, tough noogies. :-) Now I'm going to go sleep for a week (oh shoot never mind I have to go to work tomorrow.)

I just read the card and the flyer regarding Jonifests. I am grateful and stunned by what an excellent job you did for us all, Sue. I am moved beyond belief by all of the writings included. Thank you so much for this tremendous gift. I wish I could have seen the video but for some reason the link for the music box kept redirecting me to the knitting circle and no way to get back to the link :( Perhaps you could post it to Facebook? Anyway, You are a Joniangel. love, Cassy - -----Original Message----- From: Susan E. McNamara Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2013 7:55 PM To: Joni Mitchell Subject: The Birthday Card is on its way ...
