Some see her today as the withered show woman. Betsy mentioned Joni loving doing impressions. The 'I don't like you' has always been powerful. I think Furry resonates for Joni in all kinds of ways. sharing a cigarette and or champagne seems to have worked well recently for those recently wanting to say hi to Joni. (Though I do believe we are welcome for slightly more than just our drink and smoke.)

I don't know everything that Joni has ever done, but I was blown away when she mentioned the "Spanish Tuning" Furry style, at Luminato because that is what she says made things go south when they hung out. It's pretty wild when you have such strong memories (and impressions) of something that happened almost 40 years ago. It seems such a clash Joni (the intellectual artisit) and Furry (the withered showman in decline) but from my perspective (as a lover of art) they both feed my soul. - -Clint ________________________________ From: Betsy Blue To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 10:55 AM Subject: Why Furry now? She's always adored that song and played it live. Sure, the poetry is amazing, but I have an alternate theory. That woman can't resist doing impressions. She does them in songs and interviews, and I'd be shocked if she didn't do them in regular conversations. Just because she's not interested in fame doesn't mean she's not a ham. I'd pay to watch her just talk. She's got charisma in spades. (Whatever that means....)

I had never seen this before ! August 29, 1987 - Joni is a guest on the premiere of Showtime Coast to Coast for a jam super session with host Herbie Hancock (piano), as well as Bobby McFerrin (vocals), Wayne Shorter (soprano saxophone), David Sanborn (alto saxophone), and Larry Klein (bass guitar). In this clip, Joni leads the discussion about Furry Sings The Blues then the jam begins followed by Hejira. Cable TV's Showtime Coast To Coast was a unique performance magazine series of in-concert performances, interviews and collaborations hosted by Herbie Hancock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IGJyjFhCgkE#at=103 Enjoy !
