So little is known about Joni's sessions, since it was usually just her and Henry Lewy, that I found this level of detail quite revealing.> So right...now THERE'S a fresh topic. I was kind of rolling my eyes the other day with the CBC guy who wanted to write about correlating Joni's life and her songs as that horse has been beaten to death in books, articles and reviews. Her sessions, however are basically fresh ground except for the details she has slipped (crickets, cigarette machines, etc).

I just got an email from my friend, classical violinist Bridget Dolkas, with a link to a video mashup she just produced to promote that work's centennial played by The Pacific Symphony (which she is part of). It's pretty excellent, and very "left field" for a symphony to do this.
