Plus it seems consistent with Joni's own approach to health. Of course I'm not sure what to think of someone who deludes themselves into believing that cigarettes are good for them.

Subject: Georgia O'Keefe Book with Joni Chapter There's the book "O'Keefe", by *Jeffrey Hogrefe,* with an 8 page chapter on Joni. I've read it and it's......enlightening! Info here. The book jacket seen is the original from the book I read. I believe newer printings have a different book cover. You can probably find this at the library. http://jonimitchell.com/library/viewmedia.cfm?id=69 Laura Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2014 17:25:49 +0000 (UTC) From: Jeff Clark Subject: Georgia O'Keefe <> I wish I could remember for certain the title of the book I read about 10 years ago about Georgia O'Keefe that had a whole chapter on Joni's visit. It might be "Portrait of an Artist" by Laurie Lisle. Georgia didn't approve of Joni's smoking, they got up early and did yoga, ate simple, wholesome food,etc. The movie about Georgia with Joan Allen is good too and part of it is filmed in Georgia's actual house in New Mexico.Jeff ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2014 06:14:03 -0700 (MST) From: TheStaff@JoniMitchell.com Subject: New Library item: My Conversation with Joni Mitchell Title: My Conversation with Joni Mitchell Publication: Huffington Post Date: 2014.11.25 http://jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=2872 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2014 09:34:39 -0500 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: Lyric to Shine I wondered why Joni might refer to these/us particular seekers as "pioneers" and what is it to travel inwards and 'past' oneself. And passed or past oneself to where? > Hi Anita - I'm one of those who think the lyrics to Shine are pretty banal. The batch you refer to aren't as bad...I take it as meaning those who seek solutions to mental issues through meditation, holistic and more natural methodology as opposed to simply finding the right pill (or combination thereof) to try and adjust one's mental state. Going past oneself meaning going past the ego and being honest and rational.

Dear Anita, congrats on the new ensemble and pleased to have had an unwitting hand in its formation. It wasnbt very clever of me to say bif path A isnbt working for you why not try path B?b but maybe it gave a nudge! On the symposium, I agree with Steph that you are highly qualified to present a paper. Your lifetime of immersion in the music automatically gives you a deep perspective and Ibm sure you could put together something fascinating. I have been thinking about submitting a paper called something like bThe Martians have been here: Joni Mitchellbs harmonic palette" but work has been quite sparse for me for the last couple of years and if that persists through next year, traveling to England would not be realistic. I suppose I could try for a grant... Dave > On Nov 23, 2014, at 5:40 AM, Anita Gabrielle wrote: > > Ahhhhh, sweet synchronicity.

So I am pretty wired when I get home and feel full and pleased and delighted that our trip to see the Mutts perform Hejira and the Monday sing song on Dave and Robin's porch (and in particular MrBlackburn's pep talk) has led me back to playing again.

Then I imagine myself presenting my paper at the Conference and being so overwhelmed at even trying to explain what all this has meant to me for the past 46 years....... > > Anyway, this morning I started to play with some ideas for a paper and then thought I am being ridiculous. What could I say or add about Joni that hasn't been said or done? Then Steph says "there aren't many who know more about Joni's music than you" and, I thought, well there are quite a few..........but I was grateful for her encouragement, nonetheless. > > So off she goes to get the Sunday paper and I thought "Give me a sign.
