I don't buy much anymore, but for decades new release Tuesday was part of the natural cycle of life. I certainly remember the circumstances of buying every Joni on Tuesdays, the time and place. I remember buying Night Ride Home at J&R in lower Manhattan the day it was out and the guy behind me saying, "I don't think there's that many of us left." I still don't know what he meant by that--he must have been a fan longer than me. Sometimes record stores would stay open late, past midnight, on Monday for "important" new releases (not Joni mind you, more like Smashing Pumpkins). I'll miss Tuesday for new releases. It gave me more time to "get to know it" before the weekend. After all, doesn't Friday already have enough going for it?B "Oh these times, these times, oh these changing times".

Talk about a mindset change! When I was buying LP's I'd buy them on Friday anyway, because that's when I got paid and that's how tight finances were. (First music, then rent, food, etc). Since the 80's I've transitioned to Tuesdays for purchasing and now I'm back to Friday. I'll get used to it in short order.

And yeah, I'd say, "Dear Joni" is about the one, the only, Ms Mitchell. I can hear Joni-sounding things in it, from the horns typical of the same era when "Last chance lost" came out, to the guitar arpeggios reminiscent of a lot of Joni's earlier work. From: "Bob.Muller@Fluor.com" To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Wednesday, July 1, 2015 5:13 PM Subject: Deep Track covers and Last Chance Lost I just LOVE it when I'm searching for covers and find a deep track (meaning a song which does not get covered often). Today I was running through the list...Song For Sharon - no, Man From Mars - no, Crazy Cries of Love - no, Last Chance Lost - YES! Jazz saxophonist Carolyn Breuer released an album in March of this year with LCL on it. Coincidentally there's a track called "Dear Joni" on it as well. It's an instrumental so there's no proof that it's about Ms. Mitchell but I'd be REAL surprised if it wasn't based on the fact that she recorded such a deep track. http://tinyurl.com/o2bobpx LCL is such a great song anyway. I forever associate it with Bettye Lavette who totally KILLED it at Carnegie Hall. Still waiting for her to record it. I also love when artists do instrumental covers of Joni, as powerful as her words are, the melodies can be equally mesmerizing. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2015 #253 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendto joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
