We were in a songwriting group together for a couple of years. There were about a dozen of us. The idea was to try to write a new song every week. I learned a LOT from Bob. He really encouraged me to find my own voice. I also recall him telling stories about having met Joni in the very early days. He often ran into her at the coffeehouse in Detroit where she played. I was under the impression that maybe they would have recognized each other, but didn't really know each other. I know that even then he realized what an incredible talent she was. lots of love Anne ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 10:16:44 -0500 (EST) From: w evans Subject: Re: JMDL Digest V2000 #633 > Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 16:48:19 -0800 > From: Randy Remote > Subject: Re: Beatles Releases NJC > > > These last two represent the only CD audio upgrade of any Beatles > > music since 1987. > > Good overview.

First, some of the albums were not remastered from the absolute original mixdown tape, but from the second generation LP masters. Second, even the ones that were had heavy-handed no-noise applied to them, and are therefore very compressed. And, in those days we didn't have 24-bit remastering, which does make a difference even though it's reduded down to 16-bit on the disc itself simply because there's more info getting packed into the last bits. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 11:25:48 -0500 (EST) From: "Gerald Notaro (LIB)" Subject: Patti LuPone Great news (listen up, Bob). One of my favotite Diva's, Patti LuPone just opened on Broadway with a musical review called Matter of the Heart. It is also the name of her last cd, which is amazing. An added song is Last Time I Saw Richard, which I'm sure will be on a recording of the show. The show is garnering many rave reviews. Some others in the show, for those interested are Love Makes the World Grow Round A Wonderful Guy Time After Time 2 songs by one of my favorite composers John Bucchino Being Alive I Never Do Anything Twice Back to Before Easy To Be Hard Real Emotional Girl Better Off Dead Air That I Breathe Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 Dec 2000 04:31:00 -0700 From: Today in Joni History Subject: Today in Joni History - December 1 1969: Joni performs at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute 1975: Joni performs with the Rolling Thunder Revue in Toronto 1985: The Chicago Tribune prints an interview with Joni by Iain Blair. In it she says about the album "Dog Eat Dog": "'Yes, well, it's certainly not what most people expect from me, and it's definitely totally different from anything I've ever done before,' concedes Mitchell. 'It was also the hardest record I've ever made, for a number of reasons--there's a lot of blood on those tracks. I mean, these are dangerous times, and I suddenly felt a sense of responsibility to speak up now or forever hold my peace.'" Read the full interview at http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/851201ct.cfm 1996: The New York Times publishes an article on Joni by Stephen Holden. She speaks, among other things, about her thoughts on seeing "Paved Paradise": "I felt like Huck Finn attending his own funeral or Jimmy Stewart in that movie where the angel walks him back through his life" Read the full article at http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/961201nyt.cfm - -------- Know a date or month specific Joni tidbit?

Joni says "I write about personal, inner intricacies, and people who prefer not to deal with those things probably do see my music as depressing. I think depression is generally misunderstood though. I hate to get poetic on you, but it's sort of like winter and is necessary for further blooming." Read more: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/8212nme.cfm 1985: Musician magazine features an interview with Joni. She says "If you have a power, you can use or abuse it. I really enjoyed playing clubs for about forty people. I liked being center of attention. It was like being the life of the party. That I could handle. When it got to the big stage I found that I didn't enjoy it. It frightened me initially. I had a lot of bad experiences, including running off many a stage." Read more: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/85m.cfm 1994: Mojo publishes an interview this month. Joni says "I was always very involved with music, not as a career direction but as a spirit-lifter, so the irony of my becoming a confessional poet was very great to anyone who knew me in my teens. Anyway, just before I went to art school I picked up a ukulele with the intention of accompanying dirty drinking songs at wiener roasts. It was no more than that. " Read the rest: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/9412mojo.cfm 1996: Q magazine runs a reviews of Hits and Misses, saying "Misses opts for immediate lunacy. Almost every selection on it is inexplicable, so why not the first four?" http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/9612q.cfm 1996: Down Beat interviews Joni and Cassandra Wilson together. Joni says "I wish sometimes I could write a song with less story. Let me try it: 'The wind, the wind, oh the lovely wind. La la.' (laughs)" Read more: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/9612db.cfm 1996: Musician On-Line publishes an interview with Joni in which she says "It would be 1965 or '66, and Chuck Mitchell and I had a gig in Jacksonville, Florida, double-billed with another singer. After the show we jammed some stuff up in three-part harmony. To find a blend with the boys-both of them were tenors-I ended up going for the low part, and to everyone's surprise I found that I had this low voice, which I had never really used except for mimicking people in jokes, like doing the man's voice and the woman's voice." http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/9812mol.cfm - -------- Know a date or month specific Joni tidbit?

Hi everyone--I'm new to the list,but a longtime Joni fan(20+yrs)My favorite albums of hers are "Hissing" and "Hejira" with "Blue" and "FTR" next on my list,but I have to say I love EVERYTHING she's done.My 7yr. old daughter is addicted to Joni,and her favorite video is "Shadows and Light" which she plays over and over.This does not come as a surprise to me ,seeing as I raised her in utero on a strictly Joni diet(It paid off-no N'Sync or Britney Spears for this kid!)Anyone want to give me their review of the Camden,NJ(Philly)concert?I was thereand thought it was incredible;the way the rain stopped right before she stepped onto the stage was eerieand made my hair stand on end.But there were some assholes right behind me (a mother& daughter) who kept making disparaging remarks about Joni's voice change and were apparently shocked that she smoked,the mother apparently had stopped listening to Joni in the ' 70's,and was appalled that she wasn't singing her "hits".I felt like turning around and asking them to leave,since they were so obviously disappointed.But what lifted my spirits was the loud chorus of delighted screams before most of her performances(You guys?)I thought her performance amazing,and did not want it to end---hopefully,we'll all be lucky enough to see her tour again Megan ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 13:35:37 -0800 (PST) From: "Lori R.

Having just posted about my delight in hearing Jericho on Sonicnet.com, I got in the office elevator (going down) and clutched, wondering -- have you ever done this? -- if I'd embarrassed myself by siting the wrong album (DJRD). I returned to the office (going up) and immediately typed "jericho and joni" into my browser. The first thing I got was Wilson and Alroy's Record Reviews ("We listen to the lousy records so you won't have to") at http://www.warr.org/joni.html Has this site been discussed on list before? These two apparently think they're the Siskel and Ebert of the music world ... here's what they have to say about DRJD: **** - The beginning and end of the record are as good as anything she's ever done--masterful lyrics and great tunes like the title track, "Talk To Me," "Off Night Back Street"; the middle section features an extended musical meditation ("Paprika Plains"), an atmospheric number that doesn't quite come across ("Otis and Marlena") and an unsuccessful experiment in Latin American rhythms ("Tenth World"). On the clever "Dreamland," there's only percussion and voices -- Joni singing the loping melody while Chaka Khan wails behind her. (DBW) *** - I'm not impressed; originally a double LP, Don Juan's stretches out just ten tunes to a one hour running time, with the dreamy, complexly orchestrated "Paprika Plains" being the main offender - it's extraordinarily ambitious but just plain dull. She defuses the recycled "Jericho" and "Dreamland," lets Pastorius sprawl all over the place, and underuses Guerin. Only the Hejira-like numbers that Wilson mentioned reignite her usual creative spark, and they're still far from her best. Not the relative disaster that the next album became, but it doesn't rank with her preceding string of masterpieces. Carlton and Weather Report members Alex Acuqa and Wayne Shorter crop up a few times; Don Felder and J. D. Souther sing on "Off Night Backstreet." (JA) Me now: Paprika Plains is "the main offender?" !!! It's "just plain dull?" Hello??? Sheesh. Lori in DC NP: Pat Metheny, "New Chautauqua" Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.

Magazine Cover I just received the December Los Angeles magazine - 40th Anniversary Issue and there is a pull-out front cover illustrating a group of L.A. notables. Joni is in the "No. 1" position. The illustration of her is kind of weird though - kind of an amalgamation of her styles. She wears a beret over a hybrid 80s hairstyle without the perm and her clothing is a hybrid of the past few decades. Her face is portrayed set in serious mode and her arms are crossed in a resolute, almost defiant manner. She shares the cover with musicians Brian Wilson and Frank Zappa. Some of the others include Jane Fonda, Ronald Reagan, Warren Beatty, Sandy Koufax, Aaron Spelling, Charles Manson, Joan Didion, Johnny Carson, Wolfgang Puck and L. Ron Hubbard.

It's "just plain dull?" Hello??? >> Dull certainly is a poor choice of verbage, isn't it? It IS complex & ambitious (so much so that it's rarely discussed even among US), and it's certainly not for everybody. But a phrase like "the main offender" makes me think that these guys have a fairly short musical attention span. Although I would agree that The Tenth World is for the most part unsuccessful. I rarely listen to it and was glad to get it on CD so I could just jump past the track altogether.

Foni Mitchell played at Folk Plus, Walsall, UK on 29th November. It was standing-room only as the attendance was far greater than any this year at the club. Many of the audience were new-comers to the venue, which suggests that if Joni herself were to come to the UK .... The set-list was: I Had A King, Chelsea Morning, California, You Turn Me On I'm A Radio, A Case of You, Big Yellow Taxi, River, Free Man in Paris, Carey, Morning Morgantown, Woodstock. The show was recorded, fairly primitively, but early signs are that it came out quite well. A cassette will be made of the best results. At the risk of breaching copyright, if anybody would like a copy (for the cost of a blank tape and postage), please e-mail the band at this address.

Les sent in the following from his Today in Joni History: <<1985: (From Wally's bio page): The video for the first single "Good Friends" premiered on MTV [today]. It was directed by Jim Blaschfield, who had found fame with his video for the Talking Heads "And She Was," by inserting color xerox images that move independently within the live action. The premiere of "Good Friends" was announced with some fanfare by MTV VJ Mark Goodman: "Joni Mitchell-at last!", but the video received only light airplay for the next 2 months.>> I never knew it existed and I've always loved that song! I have most of the video of "My Secret Place." Any Joni elves out there know of the "Good Friends" video and could it be put on a tape tree??* Lindsay *Note to myself: Now stop being so greedy! You are awaiting the newest video tape tree, the gracious Bob Muller will soon be burning a Joni CD for you, your husband ordered two Joni photos off the internet for your birthday, and the Mendel will be sending along the TI cover painting. Stop acting like a spoiled brat!! Excuse me while I put myself in time out. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 22:20:01 -0800 (PST) From: "Lori R. Fye" Subject: Re: Warr on Mitchell? Colin wrote, of The Tenth World and DJRD: > I love this track and Dreamland but have listend to > PP sevral times and now skip it. Oh, I love the entirety of DJRD! Including The Tenth World. Last weekend I loaded all my Joni CDs (every one but TTT and BSN, because I gave the former to a friend and I can't locate the latter, which is still packed in a box) in our new CD player that holds 400 CDs ... started with STAS and just let 'er run ... when The Tenth World came on, I was dancing around the house and Mary just looked at me with wonder! The Tenth World is an acquired taste, I guess, but I think it's brilliant. And Colin! You don't like PP? I remember you writing that before ... I guess we just need to ship you up to North Dakota or Saskatchewan and plop headphones on you so you can REALLY appreciate it! Having read most of the rest of Wilson and Alroy's opinions of Joni's albums (http://www.warr.org/joni.html), I can't help but wonder if Santa shouldn't leave each of them a box of Q-Tips in their holiday stockings! Most irksome of all is their review of BSN. Sigh. Some folks have no musical taste, I guess ... ===== Lori in DC http://radio.sonicnet.com/mymusiclisten.asp?name=lrfye http://www.art101.com/flame/taxfree.htm Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.

WHEN CAS CAME OUTIN 74 AND I LISTENED TO IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HER "SUGER DIDNT SHOW IN CAR ON A HILL" I THOUGHT WHAT A JERK..WITH THOSE MORNFUL PIANO CHORDS AT THE BEGINING OF DTY I KNEW JONI HAD REACHED A NEW LEVEL PAST ALL THE WORDS THE ORCHESTRAL ARRANGEMENT WAS TOTALLY COMPATABLE WITH HER SINGING FINGERS ON THE PIANO KEYS. A LONG WAY FROM HER LEARNING GUITAR FINGERING FROM CHUCK (RICHARD) MITCHELL.tHE TIMELESS BEAUTY OF THIS SAD SONG IS JONI'S TRANSINDENTAL LANUAGE.

I received my tapes today-- and they're wonderful-- simply wonderful. The MuchMusic special was particularly great-- I love the informality. Joni has quite a presence-- it really came through. And I love listening to all those wonderful Canadian accents. hehehe...
