Bob wrote: << ...the fatal flaw with giving ONE record to someone to represent Joni is that she is so multi-genre'd... >> (great use of the apostrophe, Bob!) I started the thread knowing that quite a few would have a tough time narrowing it down to ONE, but "introduce" was another key word. Of course, you'd have to continue their education after the introduction. As for my "vote," I'd lend them Blue. As has been said, the material there is very accessable, but it's so deep. It's remained at the top of my chart since its release. Then, I'd go to FTR before hitting them with Hejira. Although STAS and LOTC are Genesis and Exodus in the Book of Joni, I wouldn't start a newcomer there (I'd start them in Ephesians). So, for me, Blue is Joni101. But I've enjoyed your comments. Really have enjoyed the accounts of the Brit/Euro JFest too! Wouldn't it be great for some fanatical bass player to make it to Nawlins in May?

Your choice of the songs was terrific and I can’t wait to listen to the ‘basement tapes’. I’m feeling slightly better now and I only hope that there will be a new event soon so to meet you all.

Hello Dan and All- OK... just ONE... Though, as others have mentioned, the person might well change my choice, in general, I would go for Blue too. In fact, I just gave it to a friend for Christmas as an intro to Joni. A lot of my friends have heard Joni long ago, but are amazed when I tell them she is still around. They lost her somewhere around "The Circle Game"... so I figure, if they *have* heard BLUE, they haven't heard it for a long time. And if they *haven't* heard it... as you said, Dan: >the material there >is very accessable, but it's so deep.

She LOVED Blue, BTW... I had decided on FTR. On the other hand, my friend Richard had lost Joni after Blue- and I gave him DED... just because of the kind of guy *he* is. I can't think of anyone else I would have chosen that album for as a refresher Joni... (He loved it.)

This is an excerpt from the August 5, 1994 press conference at the Edmonton Folk Festival: - ------------------------------------------- The interviewer asked her if she brought past experiences into her songs. joni says: For instance, in "Borderline" there is a line, "like a swan caught on the grass will draw a borderline." In upstate New York I saw beside a lake some people and a swan with her babies, and it's a good thing we were there because some bully kind of guy, and the swan was trying to back her babies into the water (they are clumsy out of water) and she would pick up twigs and drop them with authority like she was saying, "Don't come across my line," and it was such a pathetic defense against this guy who had real bad vibes and probably would have strangled the swan if we weren't there. So I had this image in my head of this swan building a fence. It was like playing possum, animals have such flimsy defenses but somehow they are honored within their own groups, but man doesn't honor them, like "that's no defense, I'm going to kill you!" - -------------------------------------------- The thing that was fascinating about this for me was that it could have been one of the lakes I live near here in Finger Lakes territory, NY.

Hi Guys, I'll finally stop these weeks of lurking. This Christmas I gave a friend 2 Joni CD's for Christmas. He just mentioned in passing that he's should listen to more Joni. Instantly I ran to A&B to get him FTR and Hejira. I hope he listens to FTR first as I find its the easiest to grasp initially. Truth be told I kind of disliked Hejira when I first listened to it, but now I think its very well one of her greatest. Anyways I chose those two because I think if I had to I'd choose those 2 as my favorites, and I find together those 2 albums (plus TI) truely capture the essence of Joni (hmmm maybe i'll get him TI for Birthday? :D) Well anyways, heres wishing all of the realm of JMDL a Happy New Year.

Thanks to Sue for posting Joni's wonderful tale by way of explanation of "Borderline". Until I read the story, I had always interpreted the line: Every swan CAUGHT on the grass creates a borderline This makes the swan the "object" ... of what I assumed was the attack of a predator -- so the safety of the water became a borderline ... which in this case the swan wasn't fortunate enough to reach. Of course, after reading Joni's take on the lyric, the line should read: Every swan caught on the grass CREATES a borderline Now, as Joni relates, the swan is the active participant -- the creator of the borderline -- which I at least, think a much stronger and evocative image to have in mind when listening. Thanks again, Sue and of course, Joni for another gem! Don Rowe ===== "I would not bet against the development of a time machine.

A friend of mine had heard Joni's song "Case of You" on the soundtrack to the movie "Practical Magic," and called me to ask about it. He wanted to know whether there was a Joni 'greatest hits' kind of sampler he could try to get into her. So, I surprised him at Christmas by buying him copies of "Blue" and "Hejira," which are my two favorites (along with all time favorite, "Hissing," but that's a little bit of a harder sell, for most people, although when it was first played for me I was INSTANTLY in love).

I don't think he is that fond of Merman nor am I; she was a great talent, but her identification with "God Bless America" soured me on her in that the Nixonian types kept playing that while they were shooting students at Kent State (so to speak). I am curious about the use of the term "ballsy" in here by those who use it (and you haven't done that, Mark...); it is terribly sexist and we thought we settled that issue in the early 70s. Gutsy and a 1000 other words express that which is meant; why use a genital-related term that excludes women... it is really sexist and sad that people think that a woman with great courage and a zest for life has balls, as if courage and zest are male testicular properties. If it means "nothing" then do we define men who are, say, compassionate and caring, as "vaginal" or "ovarian" or some other gential or gender related term.

While the new "Case of You" is gorgeous, Joni's maturer voice doesn't fit it as well as her younger voice.

Is Diana Krall dating Joni's Larry Klein??? I know there was some discussion on JMDL of Diana Krall awhile back but I didn't read it. So if something was said there I didn't see it. I read a one page article about Diana Krall and when asked about her New Year's Eve plans she replied: "I'll be performing on a cruise ship docked at a volcanic island in Antarctica. I'm hoping that my boyfriend, [actor and musician] Larry Klein, can make the trip." Anyone know anything about this???
