Apart from documentary value, I think they also provide some pacing and even some thematic reference, particularly for "A Chair in the Sky" and "The Dry Cleaner From Des Moines." <<< What does everyone else think about them and whether they are an essential element or not? >>> I'm not sure what the legalities would be but you could intersperse recordings of the actual raps in between your takes on the music. I do think there is historical value to including them.

Personally, I was quite pleased when I wrote an extra verse to'Woodstock' and added Moby's 'We are all made of stars' on the end. It might be possible, with time and energy, to update the rap sections to make some commentary about the album or Mingus and Joni. The only thing with that is that I imagine most people wouldn't know the album well enough to get it and you have spend time writing it, Anita On 10 October 2014 16:03, Susan E.

McNamara" Subject: RE: Mingus in concert The concert's under a month away now ... rap or no rap, it will be fabulous. Mingus has a special place in my heart ... when it first came out I embarrassed myself by playing it loud at a party and standing on a chair and singing Goodbye Porkpie Hat drunk as a skunk!!! Oh the good ol days, when I felt everyone had to kneel at the altar of Joni! :-) Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Anita G Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 11:19 AM To: Susan E.
