The photos are very beautiful and you can see the pure joy and happiness pouring off them. The TNT page is really slick (in a good way) and it's so great to see Joni getting all this attention. Driving around last weekend, I was surprised to hear the radio spot for the Tribute show and they played a long snippet of Wynonna and Bryan Adams singing Raised on Robbery. It sounded fantastic!

I have been doing 'tape dubbing' for several years for a television show I also enjoy that many cannot get overseas ("La Femme Nikita") and currently send it to folks in 18 countries. I ask 5.50 USD plus postage (to Canada it is 2.74) . Forgive me if this is not the place to do this. I just thought since I already have the capability I'd be happy to help if I can.

Wynona was singing and then the camera went to Joni, listening and swaying in her seat. Was half paying attention to this show and turned in towards the end.......so by the time I got the Video turned on it was already over. Drats!! Doesn't Entertainment Tonight have a weekend edition?

Be happy to provide the URL to anyone interested. I emailed the owner requesting some directional information and here is his reply: >Hi there, sorry about the delay in responding... Glad you enjoyed the website, thanks for the comments. Anyway, yes Diva's is about 5 or 6 blocks from the Quality Hotel, so there should be no problem getting there, but cabs are easy to get as well (there's 3 cab companies, and great, quick service downtown) The Mendal is a bit further, maybe 10 blocks or so. Saskatoon is great in the summers, there's loads of clubs with live bands, the Jazz festival may be on then, you can catch the tail end of pride week, and if you have time definitely take in a play at Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan (which is always great). Plus there's the Mewasin Valley Trail (basically a park running all along the riverbank through the center of the city, and there's great spots for biking, tanning, walking, or just poking around downtown. I think the high school where Joni Mitchell went has some sort of display dedicated to her, so you may want to check that out, I can find out a bit about that if you like. Cheers, Brian< I emailed Brian back asking for information about the high school display. Will let ya'll know.

I am very touched by how warm and supportive JMDL people have been in response to my initial posting about my forthcoming Joni Mitchell book. One of the great things about doing this book has been discovering this universe of wonderfully knowledgeable and passionate people who are committed to the Joni cause. ( And my apologies to the people I’ve already responded to privately, for repeating myself here). So please, be assured that you not only have a special place in my heart but also in the Acknowledgements section of the book! I’ll be sure to keep you informed as the work progresses. There’s no firm release-date yet but will probably be September next year. I’m grateful also to the people who have kindly recommended Stacey Luftig’s book, Four Decades of Commentary. I had seen this listed on amazon.com and ordered it but amazon responded saying they couldn’t locate it and there would be a long delay. The book is not yet available in Britain and if anyone else, particularly in the UK, is having trouble getting a copy of Stacey’s book, I have ordered it through Helter Skelter Music Bookshop in London (they also take international orders). They are very helpful and told me they'll try to get any music book that is currently in print (they also have lots of second-hand and out-of-print books in the shop); it’s a real treasure trove of a place. Details: ph (44 20 ) 7863 1151 ; fax (44 20) 7240 9880 ; e-mail helter@skelter.demon.co.uk ; website www.skelter.demon.co.uk. Hope that's helpful. With loving thanks, Karen ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2000 10:51:39 -0600 From: John Downes Subject: Today Show Interview on net A note to all who missed the Today Show interview: I can be found on the MSNBC web site at: http://www.msnbc.com/news/394727.asp?cp1=1 You will need Windows media player 6.4. I found that I could not play the video when I contacted the web site through Netscape, but if I used Internet Explorer the connection was successful. It is worth seeing for the clips alone. The interview is summarized in article form and as you will see, it wasn't really an in-depth interview. Perhaps the most memorable image is a clip of Joni singing Both Sides Now as a young woman and then having it fade to a recent performance of the re-release of the song. Haunting!

It also contains some songs by other artists that Joni contributed vocal parts to. And it includes a couple of other Joni surprises as well.

Funny, I wondered why people kept mentioning her name here and I just knew I had heard the name somewhere before. Guess what?
