So my question is: What should be on Joni's Rarities box set? I for one would pick, among lots of other stuff, the early version of "All I Want" with alternate lyrics, the HOSL "Dreamland" of course, and all the second Fret stuff that never saw the light of day (Eastern Rain, Brandy Eyes, etc).

Hello All- Seems like I am always driving somewhere... Yesterday and the day before, was in the car for hours... And, thanks to Bob- who had sent me two more tape trees, I felt like I was traveling *with* Joni as a companion. Marveling to myself at having this incredible opportunity to listen to old songs I'd never heard before, works in progress and hear her tell stories about songs I have been intimately involved with for years. Thinking that I am spending a lot of time listening to Joni Mitchell lately. Deciding that that is a good thing for me as a musician right now. I feel like I am getting to study with a master... before the internet, I can't imagine how I would have been able to do this. I am learning a lot! At this moment of the world....... I am listening to more Joni than ever. And learning her songs- songs I never would have figured out on my own... I don't listen to that much music because I am playing a lot- but when I do listen, these days I rarely want to listen to anyone else but Joni. I feel like I am immersing myself and it feels healthy and productive for me. Loving reading what everyone else had to say about this subject... Thanks.

Just Jonatha and 2 guitars on stage, and 250 of us in padded church pews taking it all in. The feeling I got while sitting there mouthing (silently, of course) almost all the lyrics, was that this must have been what it was like watching Joni up on stage 30 years ago in a place like the Second Fret or the Main Point. Lori Fye (formerly of Texas, now of Philadelphia) met me at my office and we cruised on down the road to Appel Farm. It was a great evening. We hung around after the show and got to meet Jonatha and presented her with a set of Joni's Jazz tapes and a show program (thanks, Simon.) She was thrilled that two of her favorites, Joni and Chaka, were on the tapes. It's possible we'll hear from her here on the list, as I gave her the URL and posting address (So when she bounces one in, send it through, Les) A cricket made its way into the auditorium during the late stages of her act. She mentioned Joni and the crickets that were in tune on NRH. All in all, a VERY cool evening. Thanks for coming with me, Lori. And if any of you have the opportunity to see her on the rest of this tour, don't miss her. I'll try to find the tour schedule and post it again. And thanks, Terry, for turning me on to Jonatha's music all those months ago. Lori said she would write something about the show, but she's moving into her own place this weekend, so we'll cut her some slack, but not too much :-) Take care everyone, Brian np: 10¢ Wings ===== "No paper thin walls, no folks above No one else can hear the crazy cries of love" yeah, right __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

When I hear a piece of music playing that I truly love or that makes me feel something extraordinary I am so drawn into it that I pretty much shut everything else out. In my younger days it was a danger to me to sit next to a stereo speaker at a party. If an album or a song came on that I loved I was pretty much out of the conversation for the duration. More often than not I would sing along which I'm sure was often very annoying. Joni certainly commands my full attention whenever I hear her. I think it would be very difficult to compose coherent thoughts in an email with Joni playing in the room. I've listened to Joni for about 25 years. My pattern with records I liked when I was a kid was to listen to them over & over until I had every note & word memorized and could sing along with the record or sing the song whenever the mood struck me. This was still my habit when I found Joni. So I guess I absorbed her music rather quickly in those days and being the substantial emotional and intellectual feast that her songs are, they have stuck with me over the years. I don't listen to Joni every day. About the only time I listen to music is driving back & forth to work. Joni does get thrown into the mix on a regular basis along with Billie Holiday, Cowboy Junkies and a few other staples of my music diet. But usually I'm listening to whatever is the latest of my most recent music acquisitions. Although when TTT came out it was like I was 20 again. I was so taken by it that I played it over & over again & learned every song. Not many records elicit that response anymore. NRH did. That one grabbed me & wouldn't let go for a long time. I still sing to myself a lot. I go out for walks on my lunch breaks and almost always sing while walking. I'm not a performer but there is something so satisfying about singing a Joni song. The melodies, the sound and poetry of the words and the feelings coming from somewhere deep in my soul make for a wonderful experience just walking down the street. I can definitely say that I sing Joni's songs more than anyone else's. For years I would strive to sing them exactly the way Joni does but just recently I've begun to attempt to put my own spin on some of them. It's fun. The songs from Mingus seem to be the most fun to try this with so far.

Jason- Thanks for another well-written and fascinating post. Really enjoyed this one! Thanks to everyone who has shared on this one...

I do so often nod and smile or laugh at the things that are written here by so many articulate and humorous individuals... > I wondered by what means >each person here manages to arrive at such a point. I've been listening to Joni since her first album which I heard in 1969 and immediately loved. When she got into the more jazz-oriented stuff, I didn't like it at first. Then... I caught up... hearing "Shadows and Light" was what did it for me. That album made the previous four much more accessible for me. I went back and listened to them again and was utterly blown away. Since then, I've gotten each new album as it came out and loved them all. "Hejira" is my favorite... but I love them all. Some one said (I think wallyk) that it's been a 30 year relationship! Joni's music has been a source of joy in my life... for 30 years- that's saying a lot... I've listened to her more than anyone else. Stevie (Wonder) comes in second. And there are lots of others who I think are great... > >I figured that the lengthy timespan covered by Joni's recorded work, and >therefore the number of potential years for exposure, has probably >played a significant part.

Even so, it occurred to me that most of you must still >listen to (and be inspired/stimulated by) Joni's music on a very regular >basis. I'm going through a cycle of listening to her a lot. I think stimulated greatly by the wonderful JMDL... Learning more of her songs lately because I have the benefit of all the work that Sue and Marian and Howard and Mark have done... I've been playing almost nothing but "Blue Motel Room" for days now. Always- there is the awareness that I can't sing it like Joni... it is fun to put myself into it... but I still bow to her lotus feet... :~) It is an amazing thing to learn a Joni song- just memorizing her poetry is a trip!!! The sheer poetic perfection of the song "Hejira" impresses me every time I sing it... Like you and Gina and Mark have mentioned, it is almost impossible for me to listen to music while doing something else. I tend to get drawn in and forget about what I am doing... especially trying to write... I find it too distracting. How people could do their homework with the radio blaring was incomprehensible to me. I too used to listen to a lot more music... Now, there are so many other alternatives that take up my day... writing emails, watching movies, learning Joni songs, writing my own songs... But lately... listening to Joni is feeding my soul more than ever! > >I occasionally "fantasise" about getting all my Joni CDs out from the CD >drawers, spreading them out on the floor, and immersing myself in >Joniland for hours while the CDs play one after the other as I study the >view in front of me of all the artwork side by side.
