Here's a brand-new one, Volume 182 with a good variety of stuff. Debi Wheeler kicks things off with a fun ramblin' alt-country sounding 'All I Want', Pablo Held performs a great extended instrumental version of 'Marcie', Leah Uijterlinde's 'River' is very tasty. Stephen Prina's 'A Case Of You' is an excerpt of a VERY long piece titled "Concerto For Modern, Movie, And Pop Music For Ten Instruments And Voice". Betsy Miller turns in a hat trick, Sarah Passmore sounds like she needs to blow her nose, and I always love to hear 'Urge For Going', especially this time of year when there are hints of spring. Thanks to Paul and also to Magret Wessel who sent me her recording that had been on my want list for a decade. http://goo.gl/TvOKKH 1. Debi Wheeler - All I Want 2.

Interestingly enough, her avian companions in the Bar (Byrds for sure, but especially Eagles) managed to postpone growing up for at least another two decades. Opinions differ. Over time, they hired Peter Pan on guitar (Joe Walsh), and most surprisingly, Hook as their manager (Irving Azoff), and sailed off singing songs about Hotel Never-Never Land. As is traditional, they sprinkled magic dust everywhere and conjured up happy thoughts while they went flying. "I do believe in groupies. I do believe in groupies."

We've had record highs in the upper 80's in both January and this month. How I long for some cool weather. With that said, thanks again Mr. Muller for a fine bunch of covers ( :PPPP to Mr. Paz) Debbi Wheeler does a great job with "All I want". I like country music, and her twist on the song brings a new light. I'm glad Magret Wessel sent you her recording of "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio" Loved that German accent. Well worth the wait. Pierre Dorge & Christian Sievert's BSN was borderline cheese, but not cheesy enough for me to like it. My favorite has to be Le Bang Bang's ACOY. Couldn't find that much about them, but the female singer was exceptional, and I love it that she sang with just the accompaniment of a stand up bass. Very classy! Most of the covers were pretty good. Not a bad one in the bunch. Happy Saturday my Joni friends, and thanks again Bob!

The debate will probably never be resolved as to the "exact way" that Joni played these - Joni doesn't remember, and it's certainly possible that Joel may have - at times - inexact notes or memory. In questions like this re Dawntreader (I expect more of them to come up) it's all about knowing what left-hand shapes Joni tends to use, what shapes she would probably never use, listening for open strings, watching video of Joni playing them, etc... I think the JoniMitchell.com team of guitarists (primarily Sue, Marian, Howard, Dave, and Mark) are the best suited people on the planet to know these details and assess the "correct" way to play them. Hopefully someday they'll get the respect and recognition they deserve. If it weren't for the pricey copyrights, I think they should write their own book! For now, the transcriptions on the website are real good, for free.

What's in it? On Wednesday Night Open Mike I saw someone good-naturedly murder Case of You, River and Richard in a Baritone Voice similar to Joni's today. Unfortunately it was me. The book may make it possible to murder more of them without all that difficult ear transcription :-). Maybe I should stick with Lena Cohen instead. Last week a chap did Carry a tone higher (in the backing) using a capo to do so and joked he needed a 2nd capo to raise his voice John >----Original Message---- >From: michael@thepazgroup.com >Date: 07/02/2014 06:59 >To: "jonipeople LIST" >Subj: Joni Book in the mail #39 > >Came home to a lovely present in the mail tonight after a great evening with >Jack DeJohnette, Esperanza Spaulding, Joe Lavano, Leo Genovese (Spring >Quartet) and Christiant Scott Quintet and Helen Gillet.
