What I have discovered, in addition to this notion of relating my own experiences to her words, is that the meaning for each song can change with time. Today, I am enjoying Joni songs from Blue for example in a whole new way. I can associate them with the joy I feel inside as I am filled with love in my heart rather than sadness. A Case of You comes to mind. I am hearing those lyrics in a completely different way. I support anyone who wishes to seek meaning and take sanctuary within Joni's songs. To discover a connection, a sense of "I'm not alone in this" is a wonderful thing which can bring great relief in times of trouble. That's the draw. That is one of many reasons why I love her lyrics and music so much.

WE had a blast and the one of the best parts was singing Joni songs with my friend Steph in the hay ride. Eventhough, i murdered the melodies, we had a ball singing them. Sometimes when she least expects it, I'll start singing Harry's House or Edith and the Kingpin to Steph, and she cant resist but to chime in with me. Okay, sort of corny, but you know that sentimental, hay-ride, fun can be? blair :) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

My lover, Rusty, and I began our trip with an overnight in LA and had the opportunity to meet Kakki and "Coyote" Rick for lunch at The Daily Grill (you expected some other eatery?). The trip was off to a great beginning: Kakki and Rick were exactly as I expected them to be. Kakki is as bright and insightful as her postings--a true delight to be with. Rick is as open and warm as his correspondences--he made me feel like I had known him for years. Rusty and I left the lunch feeling that we had two new friends in LA (and two more reasons to move to LA--our dream, but that is another story). We talked about Kakki and Rick throughout the trip. It was really a delightful evening. While in Vietnam, I had two Joni experiences. One evening when we were in Hanoi, we turned on the TV to get the election results, and as we were changing channels, I heard Joni singing ACOY (HBO was showing the movie "Practical Magic", and Joni is on the soundtrack.) Then, on our last full day, we were in the Mekong Delta and as we are meeting our guide for the day, I hear the radio in the background and I recognized the tune as BSN (being sung by a Vietnamese folk/rock group). Rusty and I looked at one another in total shock. It was very surreal. Always thinking of Bob :-) I did try to find out who was singing BSN, but the language barrier proved to be too much and no one could figure out what I was asking. One person thought that I was saying that I wrote the song, and another thought that I knew Joni. If only either of those scenarios was true! At any rate, the trip was a wonderful adventure that began with meeting Kakki and Rick and ended with a new cover to look for!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 19:40:22 -0500 From: "Diane Evans" Subject: Re: songs with street names Does Rt. 66 qualify? _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Bob NP: God Must Be A Boogie Man, London '83 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 21:13:57 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Offnight Backstreet << Offnight Backstreet (don't know about this one, I've never found out what it means) >> My take on the phrase, and it seems to be corroborated by Joni's lyrics, is that the "Offnight Backstreet" is a person who is either an old lover or just a change of pace from the other's current relationship. The lyrics say that the new girl has moved in with him, but it doesn't sound like the guy has totally abandoned his old flame either. He'll go to her on an "offnight", or have her over when his live-in is gone, thus the "long black hair in our bathtub drain". "Backstreet" means that he has to keep their meetings clandestine, so they meet in the darker backstreets instead of the main streets. Again, lots of duality...frostbite & sunstroke, lines you put there and lines you erase, the lyrics are a little cryptic but the story seems to be pretty clear. It's a great song; I've always wondered why she ended it the way she did - maybe the lack of a resolution in the song is synonomous with the dangling relationship...

TapeTree 101 Thanks to Randy Schechter and David Lybrand from the Neil Young List for the text of this document. MOTIVATION A little propaganda as to the motivation for running trees ... First and foremost it is to share with others quality Joni Mitchell music that others have been lucky enough to obtain. Trees also serve the purpose of helping new tape collectors to get their collections going. People who are new to tape collecting (or to Joni Mitchell's music) are welcome and encouraged to sign up for the tape trees. Another motivation for running trees is to try to discourage people from feeling the need to partake of the large commerical bootleg market out there. Commercial bootleg producers are largely seen to be disrespectful of an artist's rights by cashing in on the artist's music without any consideration for the artist. ______________________________________________________________________ The TREE SEED The first step in the Tree process is finding the seed tape. A seed tape is the tape that will ultimately be used to make everyone's copy. These days recording equipment has gotten so small that almost every show gets taped one way or another. So it's important to seek out a tape worthy to seed the tree. The qualities that are important for a seed tape is that the sound quality be very good to excellent - or that the tape be of a critical event - regardless of quality. The sound quality for tapes degrades with each generation as hiss is introduced in the copying process (This is only true for analog tapes - DAT tapes do not suffer from that kind of degradation). So if we start off with a poor sounding seed tape, the leaf tapes (see below) will be unlistenable. Basically, the standards one uses to decide if a seed tape is "tree worthy" are subjective. They might therefore be lower if the seed is from an older show, or a show where no other copy exists - especially if the particular show includes a "rarity" of some kind. ______________________________________________________________________ BRANCHES and LEAVES Once the seed is in hand, the next step is to select the branch leaders. The branch leaders are the folks who volunteer to spin 3 or 4 (up to 10!) copies of the show for the "Leaves", as in this inverted tree structure: Seed Tape | +----------+------------+----------+----------+ | | | | | Branch Branch Branch Branch Branch | | | | | | | +---------+----------+ | | | Leaf Leaf Leaf ______________________________________________________________________ BRANCH SELECTION It would be nice if a tree only required the Tree Administator to make branch copies and the branch leaders make the leaf copies. However in practice there's more to it, since the tree administrator has to select the branch leaders. The criteria for branch leader selection is most heavily dependent on the quality of the dubbing equipment. In the best of worlds, all branch leaders would have two top of the line single decks (as opposed to dubbing decks) with 3 heads in the tape transports. This would ensure the best copies for everyone. In practice this is not likely, since most of us are not wealthy. Thus the tree administrator tries to ensure that the branch leaders have at least fairly good recording equipment. Another factor for branch leader selection that sometimes is used is to consider the track record of the branch volunteer in previous trees/trades. Ideally, again, we choose people who take the responsibility of being a branch leader seriously over those who have repeatedly caused delays. There are two ways the a tree gets going: The first is to find the seed, spin the branch tapes, open up the tree to everyone for sign-up, and THEN select the branch leaders from the general sign-up population. Another method is to have a separate call for branch leader volunteers BEFORE the tree is opened up for leaf sign-up. This makes the administration a bit easier, and in some cases gives the branch leaders a little breathing room because they can get their copies before the full tree structure gets posted. ______________________________________________________________________ DISTRIBUTING BRANCH TAPES Once the branch leaders are chosen, the Tree Administator makes arrangements to send the branch tapes to the branch leaders. This can be accomplished by either arranging a tape trade for the branch tapes, sending blanks plus return postage, or in some cases sending cash ONLY for the price of the blank tapes and postage. The practice of sending "double blanks" for TreeTapes is Not Allowed! If you are asked to 'PAY' in any way for the music - please blow the whistle on the culprit. You should be willing to make your fellow Joni fans a copy of the show for just the blanks it would take to make the copy, plus return postage. Not everyone agrees with this practice but it will be true for all Trees "sanctioned" by the Joni list. ______________________________________________________________________ GATHERING LEAVES Now that the branch leaders have their tapes, the next step is to open the tree for general sign-up. Trees are run in a spirit of international cooperation, so it may be necessary to have branches in Canada, Europe, Australia and elsewhere. The branch leaders from each nation take care of the leaves from their particular regions, where possible, to simplify mailing and currency transactions (where necessary). However sometimes there will be a fan from another nation on a branch. The tree administrator should get the okay from the branch leader before assigning such leaves to them, though. The tree is generally open for sign-up for 2-4 weeks. After the sign-up is closed, the tree structure is designed and then posted to the list. ______________________________________________________________________ The BRANCH - LEAF Connection Note: Leaves are responsible for contacting their Branch to make arrangements for obtaining their tapes! If you, the leaf, have something to trade for your tape(s) then by all means set up a trade. If you have nothing to trade, just send blanks and return postage. After all, one of the motives for running trees is to help beginners get started. Note that it's not cool to trade for blanks just to save yourself some trouble. If you've got trade material, take the effort to make a trade with the branch leader - after all, that branch leader's got a lot more work to do than you do, so help to make him or her happy (so that they will do it again and again and keep the trees going!) Branch leaders and leaves should arrange recording criteria (i.e. Dolby) amongst themselves. Sometimes the tree administrator will arrange to have certain branches that are "Dolby only" or "No-Dolby only". But generally the Branch leader gets a Dolby-B tape unless special arrangements are made. ______________________________________________________________________ DISTRIBUTING LEAF TAPES If you have set up a trade with your branch leader, this part is easy. Just mail your trade tape to the branch leader and then they will mail you the Tree tape. If you are trading for blanks, send the blank tapes in a padded envelope (suitable for sending your tape back to you) and enough postage to cover the cost of mailing the tape back to you. That's generally about $1.00-$1.25, for a single tape (in the US). Please include your name, address, and email address with any blank tape you send, along with a note specifying what tree the blank tape is for. Since tree administrators and branch leaders have several trees/trades going on at once, this is very important! ______________________________________________________________________ PET PEEVES * Branches who don't take their responsibilities seriously. Don't volunteer to be a Branch if you're not going to have the time to make the copies you VOLUNTEERED for. * Leaves that disappear. Please don't sign up for the tree if you're not serious about wanting a copy. Sure, legitimate reasons arise that can cause you to be unable to fulfill your committments. If this is the case, you should contact the involved parties to alert them. * Lack of feedback from Leaves. If you have trouble arranging to get your tapes from your Branch, or if you think your copy sounds like crap, please inform the Tree Administrator. On the other hand, please make a good faith effort to resolve your difficulties with your Branch. * Lack of Return Postage when trading blanks. Lots of folks forget this! ______________________________________________________________________ CAVEATS * If you know you are going to be away in the next few weeks after tree sign-up, (e.g., for Spring Break, vacation, etc.) please let your Branch (or your leaves, if YOU are a branch leader) know. If necessary, let the Tree Administrator know. Inevitably some people just up and disappear after they sign up for a tree. * Important! Leaves are responsible for contacting their Branch <<< to arrange to get their tapes! <<< ______________________________________________________________________ End of FAQ. One Final Point Leaves, Please Note Re: Blanks 'n Postage Although it may be easier for YOU to send your Branch a money order to cover the *costs* of your copies, it is *not* necessarily easiest for your Branch. Remember this means the Branch has to buy tapes, mailer, address a package, and take it to the post office. All this is in addition dubbing up to 5-Sets of Tapes. The fairest method is for YOU to purchase your own tapes. Enclose your tapes in a padded envelope. This envelope should be *self-addressed* *with* postage. This self-addressed, padded envelope w/Your tapes can then be placed in a slighly larger envelope and mailed off to your Branch, who can now just drop your package in a mailbox once your copies are dubbed. Clean and Simple. In the end though, work it out with your Branch. There are some really nice folks here on the JMDL and they will be happy to work with you and ensure that you receive your copies as quickly as possible. That's about all for now folks. I DO hope that everyone enjoys this group of recordings. I'm sure you will. There's some truly wonderful music included this time. - ------- simon - ------- * Remember, if you don't stand for something ... you'll go for anything. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 23:21:42 -0500 From: Yael Harlap Subject: street names >Subject: songs with street names > >If you can think of any others, please let me know.
