I sat next to a couple of very handsome young gay men who, like me, wanted more of the furry bunny that also featured in the musical. As for artists influenced by Joni - anyone with a sense of style and depth would have to be influenced by her, I imagine, Anita x On 18 March 2014 16:53, wrote: > Muller's > work email allows this one through.> > > It passed right through the sphincter of our servers, Catherine.

As far as comparing these artists, or saying who influenced who, unless you are existing in a vaccuum, you're going to be influenced by everything, either in a good way (Ooh, I wanna sound like that) or not (yuck, I never want to sound like that). Just to expand on a previous comment, Tori has released her covers of ACOY and Circle Game, and referenced BSN in concert as an intro to other tunes. Nearly every singer-songwriter of any genre is aware of Joni's work, even Taylor Swift (the threadstarter!) I always found it easier to compare Rickie Lee with Laura, but not in a copycat way. I've heard bits and pieces of other artists that sound Joni-like, but not one who makes me feel that consistently.

McNamara Subject: Joni Mitchell Complete So Far Hi Sue, I've been playing the songs on flute. Grateful for the hard back nature of the book that stays on the stand so nicely. On guitar, Cactus Tree yesterday and Harry's House today. For The Roses several days ago. Finger picking is fun on these. I envy my son who is a freshman in college and has a copy. I wish I'd had a copy back then. Of course it wouldn't have been as complete. I like it that she says "so far" in the title. Awesome to have her album Shine in this book! She's got 2007 under Big Yellow Taxi. I had to stop and think... has it really been 7 years since her album Shine was release. Sure enough, September 24, 2007. Wonder what Joni has in the oven now? We are old on this list because young kids would never have let. 7 years go by without asking and asking for MORE. "Please sir, I want more." It would be nice.

A few weeks ago, your work email rejected one of the emails I sent, but I had a look through and couldn't really see the reason, but your work email is very persnickety and judgmental! As far as being influenced, wouldn't it suck if you were a songwriter who really hated a particular artist but could only write songs that sounded like that person? >________________________________ > From: "Bob.Muller@Fluor.com" >To: Catherine McKay >Cc: joni@smoe.org >Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 12:53:30 PM >Subject: Re: Tori Amos, not Anos > > >Muller's >work email allows this one through.> > >It passed right through the sphincter of our servers, Catherine.
