Phillips" ] Map to the Treasure: Reimagining Laura Nyro (njc) [kbhla@fastmail.fm] Re: My Best to you [Jeff Clark ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:44:54 -0700 From: Jeff Clark Subject: Joni wedding song When Joni heard about a good wedding song, she said, "isn't that the Carpenters terrain? What about We've only Just Begun?" No, a song by you, and not one you covered, something you wrote. And she said what about "Underneath the Streetlight" Thinking about it, it would be a good choice. Its a celebration of unconditional love, not one of her songs that full of I love you but I have my needs, too, its so confusing, etc etc. Like all Joni songs its specific (to her) taking place in lower Manhattan, but general enough that can relate to. What city, big small town, honeymoon place dosen't have people kicking garbage cans, noisy trucks and planes and all the rest of it? Plus it would some attention to her Wild Things album, an album that has been pretty maligned but she still likes. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:27:59 -0700 From: Betsy Blue Subject: Mother-son dance Circle Game would be perfect. It is familiar, so there wouldn't be a lot of confused whispering. I think Both Sides Now is a little too balanced about love and life for such a joyous occasion. Morning Morgantown is another song that sounds like it should be sung to a child, but maybe not your adult child. My dad and I danced to Teach Your Children Well.

It is literally breathtaking - I actually felt like I was going to pass out in some parts from the overwhelming beauty of it. Truly magnificent in every way. This one deserves two armloads of Grammys. Thanks to those of you who gave early alerts and raves. Can't wait to see the event and hear some of the performances at the Grammy Museum on Tuesday.

Thinking about the "Carpenters" We've Only Just Begun, I later realize that the song was written by Paul Williams. Thinking about Paul Williams I realize he wrote one of my favorite songs, Three Dog Nights "Out in the Country" It is propably one of my all time favorite songs. I was wondering if he ever recorded it and he did, cause I just listened to it on youtube. In the future I'm going to try to say, "I really like that song Out in the Country" written by Paul Williams, popularized by Three Dog Night. I don't know if anyone ever saw a Family Guy episode where becomes enthralled with Anne Murray's Songbird. The dog calls him a wuss, then he falls in love with the song. They go to Anne's house to talk about what the song is about and she says you could go talk to Gene Macallen, he's the one that wrote it. They get really pissed at her! Around here on Akron's The Summit they play Big Yellow Taxi fairly frequently, about two thirds of the time by Counting Crows and one third of the time by Joni. Usually they credit Joni when they play CC. Yesterday they played Joni's and later the dj said ".. and we heard Joni Mitchell singing about her checkered past with Big Yellow Taxi" which I found amusing. They sometimes play Chelsea Morning, and that's it. I'm just trying to have less confusion in the world.
