[Anita ] Re: Joni and Furry and "Rebel without a cause" [Bob.Muller@Fluor.com] Joni and Furry and "Rebel without a cause" [Catherine McKay ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:13:40 +0100 From: Anita Subject: Furry 'What If?' I have been very pleased to be in touch with my dear brother, Michael (who introduced me to Joni in '68) about Luminato, and he has been been quite taken by it all and he has a vast and great taste. I wondered if anyone had any views on this that he sent; > "Just relistened to Hejira bFurryb and think I prefer the new concert version. The rising six-note riff that recurs periodically seems to be just a cadence in the original but becomes musically crucial in the latest version. Maybe Jaco shouldbve played bass on the original Furry as he was around for other tracks. Another great musical bwhat if?b > M" Anita ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 09:17:36 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: Joni and Furry and "Rebel without a cause" That's an interesting (possible) revelation, Catherine - I've seen the film but it's been awhile. I always figured Joni was regurgitating some phraseology that came out of Furry during their brief meeting. Bob From: Catherine McKay To: Jonilist Date: 07/11/2013 08:58 AM Subject: Joni and Furry and "Rebel without a cause" Sent by: owner-joni@smoe.org I've been watching "The Sopranos" (ten years later). I've just finished watching an episode from Season 2, in which Christopher, Tony Soprano's nephew, is taking an acting class. He has chosen a scene from "Rebel without a cause." In this scene, I suddenly became aware of a line that Joni uses in "Furry sings the blues." Joni, as Furry, says, "Old Furry's got nobody - nobody!" We know that Joni is a fan of the film "Rebel without a cause". She uses scenes from it to begin the "Shadows and Light" film. Here's the script of a scene from Act III of "Rebel without a cause." Maybe this is where Joni got the "Old Furry's got nobody" line from. Jim (James Dean), Plato (Sal Mineo) and Judy are hiding at an abandoned mansion. Jim's parents and the police have arrived, looking for Jim and Plato. Plato has just been shot by the police. [OFFICER ONE and OFFICER TWO appear... with a stretcher, which they set in front of Plato.] JIM [looking down at PLATO]. He trusted me. FATHER: And you can depend on me, son. Trust me. Whatever comes, we'll face it together, I swear. [JIM puts his arms around his FATHER'S shoulder. FATHER looks at him and then puts his arm around JIM'S shoulder. MOTHER comes and stands besdie them. POLICE OFFICERS stand aside as MRS. DAVIS kneels by PLATO.] MRS. DAVIS [sobbing]. This poor baby got nobody. Just nobody. JIM. Sure he has. He's got us - he's got all of us.] Scene from "Rebel without a cause." (FYI, in this scene in the film, Jim is on the ground kneeling by Plato and grasps his father's legs, not his shoulders.) - ------------------------------------------------------------ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain proprietary, business-confidential and/or privileged material.

She does some unique things on Sisotowbell Lane, or maybe it's that I don't hear that one much. Also interesting is her guitar on "You Turn Me On" where she does some fret-slides ala "Cold Blue Steel". Very cool that she submitted a tab. Bob From: "Susan E. McNamara" To: "Bob.Muller@Fluor.com" , "BarbaRent7@aol.com" Cc: "joni@smoe.org" Date: 07/10/2013 11:14 AM Subject: Tracy Wundrock Hi Bob, Tracy actually submitted a tab for I Think I Understand that's in the database. I tried to contact her recently when I was doing the instructional video but I didn't hear from her. She is definitely using Joni's tunings on this disc! Her guitar style is wonderful!!

This was a couple of months ago. And news on the Joni cover front...of course every week I throw a compilation out there for y'all (Something old, something new, something from Blue) but here's a new release from Madison, WI musician Traci Wundrock, "Sea Dreams: A Tribute to Joni Mitchell" that some of you will be interested in: http://tracywundrock.bandcamp.com/album/sea-dreams-a-tribute-to-joni-mitchell All old stuff, which is typical. I've been spinning it the past few days and her voice is very Kathleen Edwards'ish, the arrangements are all safe, duplicates of Joni's own recordings. There are a couple of rarely heard covers (Sisotowbell Lane, I Think I Understand). Sue, I wonder if she used the JM.com tabs? If you're interested in snagging a copy, it's easy to do and she'll ship it to you quickly.

Not that I'm suggesting, Sue, that there would EVER be part of you that would be rude, nor, Shari, could there possibly be part of you that could be 'a traveling philosopher crazy lady type who showed up at parties, set up a booth to sell magic potions and cures for things like 'energy loss'. My last dream about Joni was of her living in a house of straw with poo (poop I think you call it Stateside) on the floor. Taking my dream analogy, a kindly (or maybe not so kindly) JMDLer made the point that perhaps I was full of sh*t. Ouch. Well, it couldn't possibly be true, could it? :~)) Anita x On 10/07/2013, Susan E. McNamara wrote: > That's interesting Shari.
