That is, before she turned into a recacitrant teenager and chose her own noise. ;-D She heard opera from birth, plenty of classical (incl. all Mozart, some Prokofkiev, liberal amounts of Joni, Bessie Smith & Billie Holiday, Beatles, and other such standards). One of our favorite memories is of overhearing her, at the age of 4, telling her older cousins that they should listen to opera because it "flies like birds." The best of all is that now, at the age of 18, she is a tolerant individual with a creative heart, soul, and mind. Although she seems to prefer ICP, RadioHead, and the like, she stills occasionally tunes in to opera and other classical music. Plus she pays more attention as time goes by to lyrics as well as music. We believe her exposure to all types of music (her dad has been in a bluegrass band for much of her life, too) and art have contributed to her thinking abilities and conflict resolution orientation. As for traditional children's music, we didn't buy that stuff, we sang it ourselves in "baby jams" with her. When she was little all the recorded stuff generally available seemed so sanitized we didn't care much for it. Good luck, and I envy you the fun you're going to have with your children! You also wrote: >and also >the closing of "voices." I may have missed this along the way, but are >there any rumblings that the show will be exhibited anywhere else? Like >L.A.? I mean they've got the Getty any everything. Here, here! I'd like to see the show in Chicago, too! Maybe if we sent e-petitions to the various museums or larger galleries someone would realize there's enough interest to make it a good venture...

That was "...the first time I met Wally..." Glad you enjoyed the vintage Eiffel Tower print from Steve's engravings collection. Wally and I had communicated for several months over email and the phone prior to the Fog City get together. The first topic I searched for on the internet (like so many JMDLers) was Joni Mitchell and up pops - www.well.com/wallyb (Jim, was this the original URL?) I sat spellbound and read every page and then I flashed off an email - "Hi Wally, nice site! I've got some photos from the Bread & Roses concerts - would you be interested in posting them on your site?" Wally sent me back an email asking how much I would charge him for use of the photos. I replied to the effect of, "The honor Sir, would be seeing my photos on your site. No money need be exchanged." Wally and I were fast friends - and spiritual brothers and sisters. I drove up to San Francisco about twice a month to spend time with him, sometimes by myself and other times Steve, Wally and I would bop around hunting for LPs, going to the movies or hanging out at Jim Johanson's wonderful flat. I was always happy to proofread new web pages and contribute whatever I could to the development of the site. Wally and I had a Joni quote for almost every situation in which we found ourselves - it was a running competition - who could come up with the most appropriate quotes on any given day - and it was great fun! Thanks for letting me reminisce on this bright blue Saturday morning. Somehow I become most nostalgic in Autumn.

It has a slip in the front saying that due to circumstances etc etc the lyrics to TTT were not included. This book would have been more inviting if they had included more photo's of Joni. the one on the front is excellent and flattering. I also almost got the bio by Hinton but recalled it being trashed so much here on the list I left it on the shelf. - -- bw colin colin@tantra.fsbusiness.co.uk http://www.geocities.com/tantra_apso/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 18:39:04 +0100 From: "Jamie Zubairi" Subject: Re: Joni Book >I recieved as a gift today(from John) Joni's book with all her lyrics in.

What I didn't like about Brian Hinton's book was the allegation that during the later 1970's Joni started taking a lot more drugs and that he could tell this by the potos of the period and their 'clear eyed' quality that was an obvious side effect... Please. The quality of photos just got better and that Norman Seeff is very good for lighting eyes. Some photographers do it well, others don't...

The jacket photo was by Herb Ritts. I love the ferns and the rather large tree. It looks to be a tropical rain forest of some sort. Does anyone know where this photo was taken? Wally signed my book with a little note. It read: Thank you for being a fan of Joni Mitchell and her homepage. Love, Wally Breese www.jonimitchell.com I will treasure it always Rose in NJ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 14:14:35 EDT From: "Elaine Gross" Subject: newbee here Hi Everyone! My first post here. I never met Wally but my brother Brian has told me about him. I have been reading, learning and absorbing for about a week now and just wanted to say hi. I totally agree with Kate. Being a single mom raising a daughter who almost died at birth, I have living proof that a child who has been hugged every day and told every single day of her life "I love you", they will be strong and survive even the crumbling of the home around them. Cherish them always! Brian and Pat, I love you both.

Hi Rose, It was taken in the garden at her house in Bel Air. (Recall that I saw this mentioned in Vanity Fair). It's one of the best photos I've ever seen, period. We had an unusual run of very rainy, tropical-like seasons here in the 90s which probably contributed greatly to that lush profusion of ferns. ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 22:02:05 -0500 From: pat holden Subject: Re: newbee here Elaine Gross wrote: > Hi Everyone!

I have only just received your post, Brian had to forward it to me, for some reason or other, it didnt come to my box. Another in a series of mysteries today. I am so happy to see you have joined our Joni family, and as Brian will say ... Welcome Home. You are a very special woman and I know we are all very fortunate to have you here with us. Thank you for being there for Brian, knowing that you are there makes the temporary distance between us much easier to bear. Your post about life as a single mom was very touching and brought me to tears. I can relate in every way and send you lots of support in the day to day. Hope to see you soon. and btw, I love you too. And so does your big bro. love Mags > > _________________________________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. > > Share information about yourself, create your own public profile at > http://profiles.msn.com. - -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- _~O / /\_, ___/\ /_ - ----------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2000 #376 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list at ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
