McNamara" ] Re: JMDL Digest V2013 #1611 [donald.barthel@kodak.com] Joni on her birthday. [Shari Eaton ] Re: an article for Joni's 70th birthday in Israel [Ange T Subject: RE: music box birthday gift Maybe, but maybe not. A music box is the type of heirloom that holds special meaning to people, I think because it reminds you of your childhood, and lullabyes your mother would sing you. I just think that having a music box of a song that you wrote when you were young would be so nice, especially at Joni's age because it brings back pleasant memories. I was pretty much compelled to send it for that reason. I couldn't really think of any way to repay her for the joy she has brought to my life through her music. If she throws it in the trash bin (which I don't think she will) so be it. That's what gifts are all about. Giving with no thought of return.

McNamara Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2013 7:55 PM To: Joni Mitchell Subject: The Birthday Card is on its way ... 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. Sue, I admire you for sending the music box to her, but I regret to say that I suspect she could not possibly treasure it as much as you have.

McNamara Subject: Happy birthday Joni Mitchell Dear JMDL listers Even with all the recognition, admiration and respect she enjoys from critics and the public, even with the remarkable commercial success, even with the hordes of musicians that she has profoundly influenced, even with the inummerable covers of her work and even with the hardcore fans who worship her, she is still not yet rated enough for the talent in the creation of music and lyrics and for the new frontiers she has pushed and innovations she has pioneered in her field. And she will never be, although her artistic image and impact will never stop growing. Many of her fans come up with Hejira [1976] as their best album choice. I vote for the Hissing of Summer Lawns [1975], even though I change mind from time to time, as every album [including the live ones] especially up to 1982, is a jem for its own genuinity and quality. For the shake of a remark only [there is no such thing as a favorite JM song for me], for some time now I go for the rentition of Rainy Night House from Miles of Aisles. Joni Mitchell, being discerning, upfront, disengaged and calmly outspoken, has stirred controversy over various statements extracted out of context from interviews, to which she answers that she better be considered arrogant but sincere, than be a fake humble. LONG LIVE JONI MITCHELL! Dear Music DJ A long time Joni Mitchell fan PS. Thanks to Sue and everybody else for the great birthday card. By the way Sue, If you ask me, I adhere to your decision to keep the music box. It makes much more sence. - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2013 10:48:02 +0000 From: "Susan E.
