This is one of those reasons why it would be nice to have a "Like" feature (similar to that of Facebook or Daily Kos or other forums) for the JMDL. It provides a chance for people to indicate that they've read something even though they may not write a response. We don't have a "Like" feature, though, so we all just have to trust that, yes, people are reading.

This sounds interesting. An indigogo fundraiser to make a film about Henry Lewy. If you're very rich and can donate lots of money, you can get some cool extra *stuff* too. ________________________________ From: Peter Holmstedt To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2014 2:17:39 PM Subject: Henry Lewy..... https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/henry-lewy-the-man-behind-the-music/x/8179142 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2014 22:52:51 -0500 From: Laura Stanley Subject: New Library item: 10 THINGS you didn't know about...JONI MITCHELL Who is "you" because probably most of us here knew?

Then again she does that with practically everything she sings. As for River, it's tough to top Dianne Reeves' 1999 recording. She picked up on tune way before it became a Christmas fad. Bob NP: Amy Dabalos, "Both Sides Now" ________________________________ From: Betsy Blue To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Friday, July 18, 2014 10:50 PM Subject: Covers >some covers...may be spectacular: k.d langs Jericho, Chaka Khan's Ladies Man May I add Chaka Khan's Hejira and k.d. lang's River? It is the rare interpreter who gets more than one right. k.d. is consistently good, while Chaka ranges between brilliant and off-the-mark. The one cover that I feel is really an improvement is Emmylou Harris on Magdalene Laundries. Not even CSN's Woodstock falls into that category for me. Many covers, even Joni's own, are just different. It's always nice to hear a new interpretation. Betsy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2014 12:46:54 -0700 From: Catherine McKay Subject: Joni lyrics in the most peculiar places I clicked on a link on yahoo for a weird news story, and here's how it opened: 'bYou Donbt Know What Youbve Got (Till Itbs Gone)b might be the title of an almost-forgettable 1980s power ballad, but itbs also truebespecially when it comes to beauty products.' to which, my brain says, "WTF? 'almost-forgettable 1980s power ballad?'" What is that supposed to even mean, and how dare anyone diss what is probably her most-known hit from the 70s, not the 80s? Get the title right much? and WTF is a "power ballad?" I read no further than the first line but here's the article in case anyone give a crap! I was lured in by the idea that people would pay on EBay and so on far more than an item is worth for something that no doubt reached its best-before date decades ago, and which was likely recreated with a different name many times since. https://ca.shine.yahoo.com/most-in-demand-discontinued-beauty-products-151359 599.html ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2014 02:07:03 +0200 From: Ingrid Lochrenberg Subject: Blue Dear jmdl'ers. I do not wish to make you feel uncomfortable and uneasy with my communications. I felt intensely in-touch with my mortality the other day and I thought that I would just expose myself as wanting Joni to know that her love and longings were fully approved of by me, should I come to grief. Well I did say it. I know that other jmdl'ers would bestow the same acceptance and love and wholehearted approval I did of Joni. I just sometimes feel that "no-one dares disturb the sound of silence " like Joni did. I couldn't love Joni more than what I do. It's not admiration,rather , it is longing. With my way-out imagination and my need to express myself I am caught between the devil and the deep -blue sea,given my propensity for psychosis. However with the benefit of my communications(off the list) with Anita Gabrielle I see that I can express myself without feeling either too vulnerable or too guilty. I think that many here might feel the same intensity of appreciation of Joni and what she is perceived to have been communicating. For the record, I once said that Joni writes intellectual music...i'd like to restate that as; Joni cannot HELP it that her intellect itself distinguishes her asa musician,but that the music component if her writing also distinguishes her from others. There is uniqueness to all great artists for sure. But listening as I have been to a wide collection if music interspersed with hers has clarified for me how the music sweeps me away before I register in my near-sleep state,who I am listening to. So her music has for me the emotional and esthetic component to match the extreme quality of intelligence. One last thing is that when asked about ten years back if she saw the course of things on this planet changing she replied that the situation was hopeless, and that she nevertheless had hope:....saying amid her own laughter that you have to be irrational to believe in miracles... So, I think that Joni will yet be crowned and anchored. That is my understanding if her:that she is half of the equation if the miracle that she has experienced and hopes to see unfold. Okay. Know that I don't want to put jmdl'ers on the spot with my interpretations, and that just expressing then is transformative for me.But I should try to express it with music I think. That would be better. Okay,thanks for tuning in to this particular writing.
