Try JPC (http://www.jpc.de) They carry definitely the HDCD versions of Hejira and Hissing Of Summer Lawns. Unfortunately, on their website, they don't say explicitly "HDCD-version", but rather "US-Eigenimport/digitally remastered". If the price is either DEM 29.95 or 36.95, this is a first evidence. The regular CD's run at DEM 23.95 or cheaper. Before ordering, you can of course always contact them in order to make sure you're definitely getting HDCD.

My name is Sarah... I'm new to this list, and I've really enjoyed reading everyone's posts so far... I have a question. I want to play at open mic night at this coffee shop, but this is going to sound silly... I've never been electrified before! I have an electric-acoustic, but I've never plugged it in. And I've spoken into a microphone before, of course, but I've never sang (sung?) into one, and for some reason I'm a little weirded out by it. I'm also a little worried, because my voice isn't very loud, and I think I've reached the point in practicing where the balance between the guitar and my voice is fine... but what about when all that electric stuff comes in? I know a lot of you have played in front of people before, so I thought I'd ask. :) Thanks! Sarah p.s. I'm playing three joni songs... "Chelsea Morning" "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio," and "California" :) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 11:02:36 -0500 From: Anne Sandstrom Subject: RE: A question about microphones Hi Sarah. The fact that you're asking about this probably indicates you'll do fine! (as opposed to a certain JMDLer who has been known to forget everything she knew about singing into a mic - but I digress...) Here are some of the guidelines that work for me - when I remember them :-) 1. Don't oversing. It's easy to get overwhelmed and rather excited about hearing your voice amplified and, as a result, sing even louder. You might try practicing at home with earplugs or some other sound almost drowning you out just to become aware of the amount of work your throat muscles need to do to sing at the appropriate volume. Then, when you're on stage, let the microphone do the work of amplification. 2. Don't overplay. Same as above. You may have 'monitors' which are small amplifiers just for you (they'll be in front of you, pointed at you). If so, you might be able to ask whoever is doing the sound to adjust the guitar and vocal. 3. Practice playing standing up. The different body position makes a huge difference (at least to me). Also, because of the necessity to be close to the vocal mic, I find I can't look down at the neck the way I sometimes do (bad habit, I know...) My entire point of reference is thrown off. 4. Take your time. I find that I often feel rushed on stage (my own fault) and play too fast. 5. Let yourself be nervous, but try not to let it overwhelm you. (ha, I invite everyone at the next JoniFest to throw this one right back at me ! ) 6. I sometimes find that if I play "within myself" it actually reaches the audience better than if I try to project out to the audience. At least, the music is better, if not the 'showmanship.' Above all, try to have fun. Enjoy the moments on stage! I think you'll do great. Good luck!

May ya'll pass a good time. Happy Christmas! Michael Pazeaux 12 Days of Christmas - Cajun Style Day 1: Dear Boudreaux, Thanks for de bird in de Pear tree. I fix it las' night with dirty rice. I doan tink de pear tree will grow in de swamp, so I swap it for a Satsuma. Day 2: Dear Boudreaux, You letter say you sent two turtle doves, but all I got was two scrawny pigeons. Anyway, I mixed dem with andouille an made some gumbo out of dem. Day 3: Dear Boudreaux, Why doan you sent some crawfish? I'm tired of eating dem darn birds. I gave two of dose prissy French chickens to Marie Trahan over at Grans Bayou an fed the tird one to my dog Phideaux. Marie needed some sparing partners for her fighting rooster. Day 4: Dear Boudreaux, Mon Dieux! I tol you no more friggin birds. Deez four, what you call dem "calling birds" were so noisy you could hear dem all de way to Napoleonville. I used dere necks for my crab traps, an fed de rest of dem to de gators. Day 5: Dear Boudreaux, You finally sen' somethin useful. I like dem golden rings, me. I hocked dem at da pawn shop in Thibodeaux and got enuf money to fix da shaft on my shrimp boat an buy a round for da boys at de Raisin' Cane Lounge. Merci Beaucoup! Day 6: Dear Boudreaux, Couchon! Back to da birds, you coonass turkey! Poor egg suckin' Phideaux is scared to death at dem six geases. He tried to eatdems eggs and dey peck de heck out ah his snout. Dey good at eating cockroaches, though. I may stuff one of dem wit erster dressing on Christmas day. Day 7: Dear Boudreaux, I'm gonna wring your fool neck next time I see you. Thibeau, da mailman, is ready to kill ya. The merde from all dem birds is stinkin' up his mailboat. He afraid someone will slip on dat stuff and sue him good. I let those seven swans loose to swim on de bayou and some duck hunters from Mississippi blasted dem out of de water. Talk to you tomorrow. Day 8: Dear Boudreaux, poor ole Thibeau, he had to make tree trips on his mailboat to deliver dem 8 maids a milkin and their cows. One of dem cows got spooked by da alligators and almost tipped over da boat. I doan like dem shiftless maids, me no. I tolt dem to get to work guttin fish and sweepinq the shack but dey say it wasn't in dair contract. Dey probably think dey too good ta skin nutrias I caught las night. Day 9: Dear Boudreaux, What you trying to do huh? Thibeau had to borrow the Lutcher ferry to carry dem jumpin twits you call Lords-a-Leaping across the bayou. As soon as dey gots here dey wanted a tea break with crumpets. I doan know what dat means but I says, "Well La Di Da. You get Chicory coffee or nuttin." Mon Dieu, Emile. What I'm gonna feed all dese bozos? Dey too snooty for fried nutria, and de cows done eat my turnip greens. Day 10: Dear Boudreaux, You got to be outs you mind! If de mailman don't kill you, I will fo sure. Today he deliver 10 half nikid floozies from Bourbon Street. Dey said dey be "Ladies Dancin" but dey doan act like ladies in front of dose Limey twits. Dey almos left after one of dem got bit by a water moccasin over by da outhouse. I had to butcher 2 cows to feed toute le monde an had to get toilet paper; The Sears catalog wasn't good enuf fer dose hoity toity Lords' royal behin. Day 11: Dear Boudreaux, where y'at? Cheerio an pip pip. Your 11 pipers piping arrives today from the House of Blues, second lining as dey got off de boat. We fixed snuffed goose and beef jambalaya, finished da whiskey and we having a fais-do-do. Da new mailman he drink a bottle of Jack Daniel an he having a good time yeah dancing with de floozies. Thibeau he jump off de Sunshine Bridge yesterday, screaming your name. If you get a mysterious, ticking package in de mail, doan open it. Day 12: Dear Boudreaux, I sorry to tell ya but I not your true love anymore, no. After da fais-do-do, I spent de night with Jacque, de head piper. We decide to open a restaurant and gentleman's club on de bayou. (Is this Mr. Lucky's in Morgan City?????) The floozies, pardon me, Ladies dancing can make $20 for a table dance, and de Lords can be waiters an valet park de boats. Since de maids doan have no more cows ta milk, I trained dem ta set my crab traps, watch my trotlines, an run my shrimping business. We will probably gross a million clams nex year.>> ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 09:54:49 -0800 (PST) From: Brian Gross Subject: RE: more Joni paintings First, Jamie Zubairi wrote: > < flatter and almost, worked in to the canvas and have an air of stillness and > space about them.

I've not been lucky enough to see the LACE show in person, and it's closing before I get to California in 10 days :-( I also was not able to be at Warner Bros for the PWWAM taping (something just as wonderful came up elsewhere) so I have yet to see any of Joni's artwork in person. Having digital pictures or scans of printed pictures posted could be the way to spread the word, or in this case, the pictures (which are worth gazillions of words). The posted pictures would not be of such high resolution as to allow a bootlegger to make high quality, full size copies of them, but would allow us, the faithful, to view and enjoy her art. And who would appreciate them more than us? Happy Holidays everyone (especially you lurkers. Come on out and play!)

Gosh I miss Radio 4 here in Italy I remember some other radio play that R4 did a couple of years ago, just before I left England, and they used a Joni track as the intro theme music for that too. Can't remember what it was though - something off Court & Spark I think. Maybe People's Parties. The radio show was that one where they read a serialisation of a different novel each week on Woman's Hour. I think the story was about an 'older-than-her-years' thirteen year old girl and her nutty mum and auntie. Maybe someone here remembers it?

I particularly like Holly Cole's encounter with Bonnie Raitt. There is also mention of Holly's rendition of Joni's "River" Has anyone ever heard this? I haven't. At any rate, here's the article: By MIKE ROSS -- Edmonton Sun Welcome to Brush With Greatness. Today, an encounter experienced by Canadian singer Holly Cole, who performs a pair of Christmas concerts in the Winspear Centre Tuesday and Wednesday with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. It should be an extra classy affair. Our top jazz-turned-pop chanteuse is "sort of" supporting her new album, Treasures, a compilation of songs the Holly Cole Trio recorded from 1989 to 1993. It's only available until Jan. 31 - but no, unlike Garth Brooks, she will not subsequently bury the master tapes under her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "I just didn't want people to be tricked into thinking this was a whole new record," she explains. Can you believe it? Holly Cole has never released a Christmas album. You'd think that with a name like Holly Cole ... but I digress. The Toronto singer has had yet another busy year. By a long shot, she says, the greatest moment of it was getting to meet her idol Bonnie Raitt while they were both playing a few dates on Lilith Fair this summer. Cole remembers seeing Bonnie Raitt walk by in a hotel hallway. Cole was dying to talk to her, but she chickened out. It was Raitt who accosted Cole. "She goes, 'Oh, I'm so glad to meet you because I'm a really, really big fan and I have all your records' and all this kind of stuff. And I was like, uh, wait a minute. This is what I'm supposed to be saying. "She invited me to hang out with her. Then she goes, 'Do you know that John Prine tune, Angel From Montgomery?' And I said, 'Well, yes I do.' 'Do you like it?' 'I love it.' She had a guitar and she goes, 'I'm going to try singing something. Why don't you try to sing this other part?' And then she says, 'Why don't we get Sarah in here? She can sing the high part.' So we ended up doing it every night. She called me and Sarah McLachlan on stage to sing Angel From Montgomery as her encore. And every night she introduced me as one of her favourite singers of all time. So that clearly blew my mind." The relationship continued. Raitt phoned Cole in September: " 'I'm playing tonight with Eric Clapton at SkyDome. Would you like to come up and sing Angel From Montgomery?' " You can guess what Cole's answer was: "Well, gee, I'm kinda busy. Well, OK, if I have to ...." Raitt was not being condescending (which might not even be possible). Although Cole's fame is modest and she has yet to write her own songs, she possesses a remarkable voice. It's a sexy, powerful tone with a dark edge that can be completely captivating in the right setting - a David Lynch-style video, say. During a sold-out concert in the Winspear earlier this year, Cole sang Trust in Me from The Jungle Book and made it sound evil. She makes Tom Waits even more sinister than he already is (as you can hear on Temptation, Cole's album of jazzed-up Waits tunes). She's the anti-Doris Day singing a dramatic take on Que Sera, Sera. Her version of Joni Mitchell's River is chilling. Even the Christmas songs she chooses tend to have an odd, "unorthodox" feel. Santa Baby is her favourite Christmas song, she says - not White Christmas. The title of Cole's last studio album - her first major foray into pop music accompanied by a toning down of the vampish gown-and-long-gloves image - sums her personality up nicely: Dark Dear Heart. Treasures, she says, charts her growth as a vocalist. "It was kind of when the trio was in its heyday. These long-lost tapes are from that period. As painful as it is for me, I can sort of hear myself growing musically. "Sometimes I would make the broadest choices, to sing as loud as I possibly could, say. Things like that. It's like looking at your high school yearbook photos: I can't believe I wore that!" Anything that really made her cringe simply wasn't included on the album. After the current Christmas tour (despite demand from promoters in love with her name, it's not going to be an annual thing, she insists), Cole returns to the studio in January to record her next album. After that, she laughs, "Then we'll have to make a Christmas record." Tickets to Holly Cole with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra are available at the Winspear box office.

Farewell List- I pray that you ALL have a safe, warm, blessing filled, happy Holiday Season. I am loading up the family and headed for the old country. We will spend a few weeks with my family and head out to the islands for a few days to soak up a little sun, salt, and sand. I'll be walking through my mountain tree filled property on Saturday and I will go to the top of the mountain and do a 360 and think of ALL of you (this will be around noon on Saturday CST. Maybe we can get a cyber connection happening without the need of our CPU's). I hope you all can be with your family during this special time. To Wally Breese, I laughed and cried out loud at your good fortune and fine story telling. You deserve to have good friends like Joni (and about 600+ others I can think of). I felt very close to the edge reading your story and looking at the pictures. I pray you gain strength during the season that celebrates the birth of Christ. Positive thoughts Wally and focus on healing yourself, we all know you can do it. I would love for you to be here for our little Tribute next May (and Jim too!). I have to tell you that I don't eat my pizza crusts at first until I am finished with most of the pizza then I do the crusts and sometimes add some fresh parmesan cheese and garlic sauce. Mind you it has to be a REALLY good crust or I leave them all together. That little bit really cracked me up. I also enjoyed the description of her house. I love exposed wood (I live in a wood house amongst 37 cypress trees) and the rustic kinda feel. Go to http://www/honduras.com and look for Calabash Cabins (that's where I will be on the island) It has some great pictures of the house pool and view. I will have all kinds of time on my hands so I hope to be able to check in and get my mail thru the web if all the servers cooperate. If not I will try to bounce a greeting through someone from Honduras. Thanks to everyone that sent me wonderful music this year (Joni, Harper Lou, Steve "Talk To Me" Polifka, Kakki, Clark, Bob, CatGirl, Brian, Patrick, Les, and ALL the Joni Fest F Troop gang. (three simple words) You Complete Me. Love Peace and Mistletoes to all, Michael P.S. I will be posting some amazing news when I get back if you don't hear before. Just had to give you something to look forward to the first week of January. Bye!

I recall being blown away by her bass-driven "I Can See Clearly Now" in her DON'T SMOKE IN BED album. She also sang a melancholy "Blame It On My Youth" in the said album that made me recognize her as one of those singers who can deconstruct a song and make it sound different from what it was intended for (Billie Holiday and Lee Wiley have those abilities, too). I heard Cole's River in her latest album and I remembered not recognizing some of the musical detours she took to flesh out the song's nuances. The same way Rickie Lee Jones demystified standard material in her POP POP album. Holly Cole sounded a lot like German chanteuse Ute Lemper and her cerebral approach to a song makes her one of the most exciting artists to emerge in years. Since Yma Sumac.
