[Ashara@aol.com] Re: Which of us is Joni?? ["Kakki" ] FW: Virus Control Please Read -- Important Information ["Cupit, Greg" > Is it possible to love all of Joni's albums equally but differently? I love Hejira and could say it is my favorite however, I also love Blue, LOTF, FTR, C, CAS, and STAS. I really love TI and CMITRS. I guess you could say I love Joni and all her music. I could care less what she looked like although she is gorgeous! It is her music I fell in love with first. Her beauty is just a bonus! Catgirl..yes I am a girl but I still think Joni is a beautiful Goddess! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 20:31:24 EDT From: FMYFL@aol.com Subject: Re: Jazz Takes On Joni Mitchell I finally got my copy of David Lahm's "Jazz Takes On Joni Mitchell". I accidentally ordered it from Music Boulevard instead of CDNOW (sorry Wally it won't happen again). I ordered it 3 weeks ago and it just arrived yesterday. It was well worth the wait!!! David, I want to thank you for producing such a FANTASTIC album!!! Being a Joni fan and a jazz lover, the two mixed together are magical. My father raised all of us kids listening to jazz, and I only wish he were alive to here this wonderful cd. I never could get him to appreciate Joni (even "Mingus"), but he would have loved JTOJM, especially your rendition of "Solid Love". Kakki's review is right on the money, so I won't go into details. The cd insert says to contact Arkadia records for your current tour schedule, but since you're a fellow JMDLer, I'll just ask you "When are you coming to Florida"? I'm also looking forward to reading Wally's conversation with you on the JM homepage. Thanks again for expressing Joni's music in a different, but wonderful way. I'm real curious to know what Joni thinks of it. I'm sure she's flattered and pleased. Perhaps her next project will be "Joni Takes On David Lahm". :{) Jimmy np: David Lahm "Edith & The Kingpin" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 17:59:59 -0700 From: "Mark or Travis" Subject: Re: my first post > Push God out of the schools? What's gonna happen? We shouldn't be surprized. > The Mansons of the world are ready to rush in and fill the spiritual void. The whole school prayer issue had come and gone by the time I was in high school in the early 70's. I don't remember ever being told to pray in the public schools I attended. We did say the Pledge of Allegiance in grade school (one nation, under God). If the absence of religious teaching is the reason for the rash of school violence in recent years then why did it take so long to happen? Religion doesn't have the market cornered on morality. Would you have just one religion taught? Rather exclusive when you consider there are so many. You don't have to push the Bible or the Koran or the Torah at people to make them understand the difference between right and wrong or at least make them understand something as fundamental as the value of a human life. > > I disagree with Joni's line "guru books, the Bible... only a reminder that > you're just not good enough..." (the next line is something else, though! > and delivered so meaningfully!). I know many of you have found real answers > in God's Word, as I have. I don't know what 'God' is and I certainly don't think that anyone has a direct line to whatever 'God' is to be able to determine what it's 'Word' might be. Ok, I've alienated enough people for one day. I'll shut up.

To the tune of "People's Parties" All the people at the Jonifest In New England They had a lot fun you see They had a lot smiles Some were singing Some were playing Some were watching it from the lawn, Some were munching on a grand feast That went on 'til dawn. YES, YOU GUESSED IT!!!!!!!! IT'S THE 2nd NEW ENGLAND LABOR DAY WEEKEND JONIFEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN: Saturday, September 4, 1999 (That's the "official" date, but as before, if you are coming from a long way, talk to me about coming in on Friday.) WHERE: Ashara's house- north of Boston TIME: 1:00 PM DEPARTURE: at some point on Sunday FOR: JMDLers (since space is limited, significant others will be allowed *only* if we are not full to capacity.) WHAT: LOTS of live music (mostly Joni) on the famous Jonifest outdoor stage, sleep- over, and Joni sing-a-long! Also, possibly another Joni trivia game, shmoosing with JMDL friends old and new, raffles galore, and much, much more! WHY: The Top Ten Reasons: 10) Because it is SO much fun to get together! 9) The neighbors enjoyed it so much last year, they want MORE! 8) CO Jonifest is not happening. :-( 7) It takes too long to meet all these JMDLers one-by-one. 6) To give Michael Paz a place to go this summer. 5) So we can hope that Joni will show up at the party. 4) Because the more out of tune voices, the better. 3) Jesse is letting people sleep in his room this year! 2) To get a "real" hug from Ashara. :-D And the number 1 reason for the NEW ENGLAND LABOR DAY WEEKEND JONIFEST: 1) To scientifically prove the saying "If you can talk you can sing." The New England Labor Day Weekend Jonifest Committee has reconvened!!! Back in service to you to make this the most INCREDIBLE happening: Ashara- Hospitality and Housing Hostess Maggie- Cordial Culinary Queen Heather- Divine Diva of Decorations Ric- Sultan of Stupendous Surprises Chuck E.- Maestro and Master of Music Katie- Gracious Goddess of Games Details are being worked on by the commitee, and more information will follow as it becomes available. Since I do not want to take up bandwidth on the JMDL, there will be a separate mailing list for those interested in the party. Please sign up even if you are remotely interested. http://www.jmdl.com/lists/ (Of course, I can't stop *other* people from telling you all what a great time they had last year!!) ;-) This year, there will be an "admission fee." To reserve your spot at the party, you will need 3 things: 1) A nonrefundable check in ANY amount, payable to Wally Breese, to benefit Wally and to help him keep up the Joni Mitchell web pages as he continues to battle his illness. 2) A completed questionnaire either by e-mail or snail mail. As this is in my home, and I do not know many of you personally, NO ONE will be admitted without the questionnaire completely filled out. Because of Labor Day being a very busy weekend, please send your check right away if you are planning to attend. There is a limited amount of space at the house, so it will be on a first-come, first-served basis. There are ample hotels/motels in the area as well for the overflow. 3) A small picture of you (no bigger than 4x6) Since the CO Jonifest isn't happening, and since so many people regretted not coming last Labor Day, I expect a full house, so get off your tush, and send your responses in NOW!!!!!! Guaranteed a GREAT TIME!!!!

All of the people you mentioned in your post have been identified individually by other list members, either at concerts, Joni-fests (Ashara had one at her home) or by telephone.

The HEJIRA songs I'm most familiar with (Blue Motel Room, Song for Sharon, Coyote & Amelia) do not have unprecedented or induplicable structures i.e., they can be fairly easily laid out on paper, and indeed were in commercially-sold songbooks. What is far nearer unique is the phrasing of the vocals, the very free but powerful rhythm she sings AGAINST the solid forms of the songs.
