For a LONG time it was the ONLY track on STAS not covered by anyone. I was thinking (and willing to be and glad that I didn't) that it would NEVER be covered but it got a nice jazz treatment by Joce Mienniel in 2012. Bob I love The Pirate of Penance and STAS is one of my favorite albums Bob - If your looking for another good cover of POP - check this one out. http://www.last.fm/music/Joni+Mitchell/_/The+Pirate+of+Penance - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail message (including attachments, if any) is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, proprietary , confidential and exempt from disclosure.

I took my mom to lunch at a very unique market in the downtown L.A. Arts District today and in the background they were surprisingly playing all my favorite obscure Joni - like cuts off FTR and an occasional obscure James Taylor song. This is a place mostly for millionaire bohemians, e.g., special imported meats and cheeses go for $30-$80/lb., but the lunches are inexpensive. We bought a few reasonably priced items in the market and as we were checking out, Pirate of Penance started playing. I couldn't believe it! Maybe someone who works there is one of us here! ;-) Song to a Seagull has always been right up in my top 3 Joni albums and I love it all because it totally blew my mind when I first heard it at age 14.

But we went to see Tom Rush at a member concert for WUMB last weekend. (We were in the 8th row!) He told how he came upon certain songs and said that all those years ago Joni sent him a tape of about a half dozen new songs, with an apology for the last song on the tape, saying it wasn't very good. It was The Circle Game. I had tears in my eyes when he did it. His encore was Urge for Going. I wonder if there are even other gems out there of Joni's that we've never heard. I'll bet there are. Most songwriters have songs and even song fragments that they just don't favor. In some cases (like Jackson Brown's "These Days") others complete the fragment for them. Or (even in my case) I'm not terribly fond of a song of mine called "Love is Loud" but it was recognized recently in a songwriting contest. It's just so hard sometimes to hear your work as others do. As for PoP - I always thought it was something of an intellectual exercise for her. I like it, but have never considered covering it because it lacks a certain amount of heart for me. Yet the melody is interesting, treading into unusual intervals without being dissonant. lots of love,Anne ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2014 #597 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendtojoni@smoe.org.
