I'm a Joni fan from N. AZ and I also play guitar/dulcimer and sing. Is it possible for someone out there to E-mail me the dulcimer tunings/chords for her songs on the Blue album? ( I saw the topic, but was unable to download that digest) Thanks! I do enjoy all the discussions and I'll jump in to the group on of these days...

Thank you Les and Wally for creating such a wonderful discussion list that I look forward to reading everyday. You have brought such wonderful people together who all have not only "Joni" in common, but so many wonderful views about life, music, art, fun, and love. Happy Birthday to Everyone! Jimmy ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 22:25:04 -0700 From: Lindsay Moon Subject: More Late Joni-in-Print Well, here I am again with a late finding of a Joni mention in a magazine that I don't recall anyone else writing in (sorry if it's been done.) You know, "I'm always runnin' behind the times ..." In the July 30 issue of Entertainment Weekly, there was an article by Ken Tucker on the recent VH-1 show, "100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll," in which our Joan was put at #5. The article, generally, speaks to the fact that any list anyone came up with is so subjective, no one will ever agree with the choices. The last paragraph reads: "Oh, and this: Joni Mitchell (No. 5) should have been rated higher, and it's maddening that with five hours to fill, the producers couldn't have shown us the full performance snippeted here of a radiant, steel-guitar-strumming Mitchell performing "California" from 1971's Blue. (And where is this clip from? We're never told.) Mitchell's sly-fox intelligence and transported bliss catch everything distinctive about women making rock & roll that this well-intentioned but bloated production cannot." Hear, hear! They also included a nice picture of her, an old one that I know I've seen but can't place. I'd peg it at 1967 or so, with her radiant big toothy smile, bangs and long hair, sitting on steps, acoustic guitar across her lap, wearing a short black skirt or dress with her legs crossed at the ankles (you can see why Chuck M. ogled her gams!) and some high-heeled shoes on. I tried to find it on Wally's web site, but didn't. Just the kind of thing that a lister needs, to not quite be able to place a Joni anything. Ugh! Lindsay in San Diego, who had promised myself to head to bed at 10 p.m. and now it's 10:30 (another telltale sign of Joni mania ...) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 22:24:26 -0700 From: Randy Remote Subject: Big Sur on Cinemax Here's one more chance to catch "Celebration At Big Sur" with performances by Joni, CSN&Y, J. Baez and more from 1969. SAT SEPT 4 Cinemax East 7AM Cinemax West 10 AM Times are Pacific ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 22:55:26 -0700 From: Randy Remote Subject: VH-1 dot commies This is from today's installment of the VH-1 website. "Joni Mitchell is getting a little hoity-toity on us. The music legend, often compared to Mozart in her own mind, has been invited to perform at the famed opera house La Scala in Milan. She's recording an album of standards, and the La Scala management would like her to perform there with a full orchestra. The famed tribe of Callas, known to riot at the hint of a bum note, were unavailable for comment, but expect them to make their sniffy opinion public shortly." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1999 03:23:49 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: RE: VH-1 dot commies Folks, My guess is that joni will be performing at la Piccola Scala, a kind of Milanese Carnegie Hall. And I, for one, would be more than grateful. God forbid Joni should have to deal with the "loggione" -- the people at the cheaper, higher tiers. Compared with them, drunk Dylan fans behave like the Von Trapp children.
