As long as they are given credit for it, how could they complain? I say this as a long-term writer, too. That's what made rap 'music' so shitty for their unafraid openly stealing from others which they called 'sampling.' If I had any of my books left, I'd be glad to send to you to pass on to anyone you'd like! Peace, Waking up to a 'Joni chelsea morning' Babs In a message dated 5/17/2013 12:03:20 A.M.

That being said, this may have been posted before but I will do it again in the event it has not. If you have an interest in traditional American music (standards, broadway musicals, etc.) treat yourself to listening to a Jonathan Schwartz show. He is broadcast on satellite radio everyday at 12 Noon on the station "40's on 4". He has on several occasions played Joni, usually from her standards selections. The other day, sandwiched between Frank Sinatra and Count Basie, came Joni's "Rainy Night House". It may seem absorbed but it fit perfectly. Anyway, he always speaks very highly of her but even if he did not have this joni connection his show would still be worth a listen. Peace!

I know the magazine of which you speak :-) I'll pick one up next time I'm out. Do you know which issue? As a point of interest (unless it brings on complete ennui), Flare used to be called Miss Chatelaine. There was Chatelaine that was aimed at older (over 30 maybe?), usually married women, (still exists under that name), and then there was Miss Chatelaine that was aimed at teens and 20s. I guess Miss Chatelaine sounded too old-school and prissy, so they changed the name to Flare in the late 70s or early 80s. Kilauren Gibb modelled for Chatelaine. K d lang's song "Miss Chatelaine" is apparently about her having been given a woman of the year award. >________________________________ > From: Les Irvin >To: Joni List >Sent: Friday, May 17, 2013 3:18:17 PM >Subject: Flare Magazine... > > >Anyone read the Canadian magazine called Flare?

However, it may be slightly obvious for Joni's taste. And then there's the very up tempo and sexy 'Underneath the Streetlights'. That could really rock as an ensemble piece. There are SO many songs of Joni's that comment on what it is to love and to be loved. In many ways, love features in most of Joni's songs - but, even so, the nature of Love, at least in much of Joni's work, seems to me to remain a mystery 'Help Me', 'The Same Situation' really the list is extensive. It will be fascinating to see what Joni and the Alberta Ballet will choose and whether or not the ballet will follow any sub themes or some other narrative within it. Whatever happens, I do hope you will get to see the ballet first hand, though I am worried that you may be the only person paying to see it, but, the good news is, it looks like you will get front row!

I would not be flattered if they took my stuff and claimed it as their own, even if it was shit. Speaking of shitty music, I was at my doc's today and had to wait 1-1/2 hours before he could see me. They had the radio station sort of tuned to (in the sense that it was slightly off the station so it sounded very staticky) some station that bills itself as "urban." For the first half-hour or so, it was reggae, which I liked at first, but then it got very tiresome. After that, they moved to hip-hop, which was about 90% irritating. Later, they were playing old-school R&B, which was fine, because they used real drums then, and people really knew how to play the bass (some people can still do that.) I think that sampling can be used well but it's overdone and I'm not sure what the point is, unless it's to make an otherwise unmemorable song sound somewhat familiar. By the time I got to see my doc, I had a headache. >________________________________ > From: "BarbaRent7@aol.com" >To: joni@smoe.org >Sent: Friday, May 17, 2013 12:26:55 PM >Subject: Re: JMDL Digest V2013 #594 > > >To Catherine, > >I don't think anyone could/should be offended but flattered that anything >they've written would be passed on for a bigger audience.

I always enjoy shows that have a mixture of music like this, especially when a Joni track unexpectedly pops up. This morning we had Desert Island Discs, and Damien Hirst picked 'Big Yellow Taxi' as one of his tracks, which was most surprising. I thought at the very least we'd have the theme from 'Jaws', which we didn't. As someone very active on JMDL at the moment, I am a bit concerned by your not posting because there is 'way too much bias'. I did wonder in what way there is here on JMDL that has 'way too much bias' or quite what had upset you. Everything comes and goes. Probably most of us get upset or irritated by one thing or another here from time to time, but I hope that wouldn't stop anybody from posting Peace and Love also!

I kinda think it might be this one, which looks like a "special" edition and not their regular monthly thing. Too bad they don't give any more info as to what's inside.
