Stephen,

I also saw Joni for the first and only time at Maple Leaf Gardens in October
98. And yes she was gorgeous ...even from where I was sitting. The ticket
meister misled me and the seats weren't as good as I had hoped .  (oh WELL) I
was very disappointed with the acoustics or lack thereof. And I must say that
it felt very strange/sad to be sitting IN the Gardens after all that went on
there...very sad indeed. Talk about ghosts dancing in the dark. *shudder*

That said, I remember sitting there thinking OMG this really IS Joni...so
surreal after wanting to see her for so many years.  It was an incredible night
to remember. You can catch copies of the concert from Bob our music slut .

I feel sorry for my mistake, because I was only stoned by my stupidity when 
stating that Ramona is the Austrian version of Joni Mitchell. Of course, 
every human being is unique in the vast cosmos, so that my A=B comparison is 
inadmissible. However, I think that one can find some similarities between 
Ramona and Joni in different musical dimensions of comparison.

Sometime during Ramona 's Woodstock song interpretation in Nov. 2000, I had 
a flash of inspiration that it was possible to invent a theoretical concept 
for a new hippie movement (the so-called starflowerchildren or 
starchildren). Now, I am trying to convince myself that it is possible to do 
that, but I also see one fatal error of the old hippie movement that died 
around 1970 (see e.g. Joni's  Blue song): Heavy drugs were set in and flower 
power was over. So, I think drugs should be replaced by a healthy meditation 
technique. The so-called mystical experience (many hippies know what I am 
talking about), can also be provoked by the appropriate meditation technique 
instead of taking hallucinogenic drugs. This experience is characterized by 
a drastical release of very basic distinctions (e.g. the self-world 
distinction and the past-future distinction). This is a feeling of wholeness 
or unity between the self and the cosmos (the so-called oceanic feeling). Of 
course, there were also other major factors that led to the decline of the 
movement.

But the new concept of starchildren, starflowerchildren, children of 
supernovae, and starstuff-everything is, more than we care to realize, a 
cosmopolitan idea, rooted in Manhard Schlifni, Joni Mitchell, Ramona 
Kasheer, Heather Nova, Carl Sagan, Rupert Sheldrake, Immanuel Kant, 
Cyber-Hippies, Woodstock, Cosmology, Astronomy, Chaos Theory, Feminism, 
meditation, spirituality, humanity, New Age, participatory Democracy, 
collective consciousness, vegetarian food, Greenpeace, Club of Rome, love 
energy flow, noave stars, red giant stars, supernoave stars, the Planetary 
Society, and the United Federation of Planets.

Special thanks go to Joni for the invaluable impulses of her Woodstock song. 
Joni's music has touched my mind, heart and soul. I am so happy that - in 
the infiniteness of time and the vastness of the cosmos - I can share the 
same planet and the same epoch with Joni. Stardust we are; To the glowin 
stars we shall return, maybe someday.

Manhard

PS: When you go to Vienna to see a concert from Ramona, forget about the 
need to wear flowers in your hair.

I just heard on the radio that Kirsty MacColl has died, in a boating 
accident.  I can't believe it.  She was in her early 40s, had recently been 
touring a very warmly received album, Tropical Brainstorm, and it just 
doesn't seem like it was her time to go.  I saw her play in London last year, 
and she looked and sounded in fine fettle.  Just a few days ago I listened to 
Titanic Days, and marvelled at what a great album it is.  It's just so sad.

I'll field this one.  Sharon is Joni -- or perhaps
more accurately -- the Joni that Joni herself is
wishing in the song that she could be.  Now there's
probably a more "journalistic" explanation of the
character ... but if there's a "real" Sharon out
there, she's certainly someone Joni admired, and once
she got to thinking about it, wondered what she
herself would be like in that skin, and then put it

Such terribly, terribly sad news. I suppose it's only when it happens to
artists of one's own generation, who has soundtracked your life so
intimately as some of Kirsty's music has done over the past 15 years
(not so much recently, I have to admit), that the loss strikes a deeper
chord than merely a passing acknowledgement.

She always came across as a very down-to-earth and savvy woman. No doubt
a great mother, too. I immediately thought of her kids left behind, for
some reason. They're not babies anymore, but nobody should lose their
mother so young.

Basically, I suppose I'm just shocked.

Sharon Bell was a childhood friend of Joni's. In an article from Musician 
Magazine in May 1988, Joni said "Sharon Bell, in 'Song for Sharon,' was the 
singer. I was going to grow up and marry a farmer, she was going to grow up 
and be a singer. She married a farmer. That song has a little bit of 
nostalgia. Sometimes I think I'd be better suited to living on a farm..."

There is a real Sharon (Sharon Bell) and she was a childhood friend of 
Joni's.  I think they were friends in Maidstone (I think Ashara has video 
footage of photos of Joni and Sharon on the last Video tree).  Joni sang SFS 
in Atlanta during the TTT tour and introduced the song by saying that she and 
Sharon have traded places in life (meaning that she thought that Sharon would 
be the singer and that her life would resemble Sharon's).  I don't really 
know much else.  Perhaps someone else on the list does.

<<Who is Sharon from Song for Sharon?>>

That would be Sharon Bell, a childhood friend of Joni's from her Maidstone
days. The most recent video tree features "Ashara's Wild & Crazy
Adventures" in Maidstone, where she was treated to the Joni Mitchell Museum
(actually just a corner of the Maidstone museum). Anyway, in the video are
some photos of Sharon and Joni as wee tykes, as well as the church
referenced in "when we were kids in Maidstone Sharon, I went to every
wedding in that little town".

If you don't have the latest videos, I'm sure if you ask someone would step
up and hook you up...

Song For Sharon partially refelected on a paradox; that being that Joni
dreamed of being a wife on a farm, and Sharon dreamed of being a singer. It
turned out the other way around, although Sharon did become a singer on a
more local basis and even recorded "Both Sides Now" under her married name
of Sharon Veer.

When I saw Joni perform the song on her '98 tour (the only performance of
SFS), she introduced it as "Song For Sharon Bell". I was delighted to hear
it as I love all of Hejira so much and SFS in particular.

Subject: getting back to Miss JM

...okay so a while back I had a little rant about how the general public
seems to think She/Herself/The Goddess stopped writing Good Songs
in the 70s. To end the millenium, how about a thread of "Best Joni Songs
from WTRF onwards" or some such?

My list, at the moment, in order of recording...

1.Chinese Cafe/Unchained Melody
2.Impossible Dreamer
3.My Secret Place
4.Number One
5.Passion Play (When All the Slaves Are Free)
6.Cherokee Louise
7. Magdalene Laundries
8. Sire of Sorrow (Job's Sad Song)
9. Harlem in Havana
10. Crazy Cries of Love

And maybe we could think of who might cover them, in the future. I know Joni
hoped that Aretha would do "Ladies' Man", for instance. And hats off to Don
Rowe for suggesting the Dixie Chicks to cover "Ray's Dad's Cadillac".

Happy Holidays to all.

Patrick in Vancouver.

This is sad news.  I found a news article saying she was swimming in Mexico,
and was run over by a speed-boat - an accident which happens pretty
frequently in NZ in the summer, unfortunately, particularly with jet-skis.

I've also been watching re-runs of French & Saunders here, and they've been
showing a series where Kirsty MacColl performed a song in each episode - she
had a great voice.

I'd like to wish everyone on the JMDL a very Merry Xmas, and a Happy New
Year, and may Santa bestow large and expensive gifts upon you!  I've just
bestowed a large and expensive gift upon myself - a brand new PC, complete
with CD-writer, printer and scanner, arriving next week!

Let's also hope for more Joni in the New Year - either the tribute album, or
the long-awaited/desired Xmas album from Siquomb herself.

P.S. I made this un-NJC, 'cos I wanted to include everyone.

As a result of joining the jmdl in april I discovered
and rediscovered my love of Joni
and once i found my voice
i talked a little about court and spark
singing down to you
and then i found
kindred spirits on the list
such as
the florida connection
and
the breakfast club
and then
i wrote a story about a special mothers day gift of joni albums
and the great escape involving my daughter mimi
and because of that
i connected with the love of my life Brian
and then i continued to
share running stories laced with shades of dmb
and all the while
i wished and wished and hoped i would see but didnt see
joni doing bsn on tour but i did get a programme in the mail
and i lived it through all of you
then i got to
meet Ashara
not only that i
met and hugged and held beautiful Anne
as well as
meeting everyone else who was there at Ashara's
where i found
my soul brother Wallistah
and then there was chocolate
and cheese
and Jimmy...ohhhh Jimmy
and Bob
and Kenny
and
list members who became november birthday fairies
and
then there were aliens
and and and............

love, Mags
feeling awfully sentimental and grateful for being here.......

Borderline
Thin skin Thick jokes!
This song with its cw arrangement is a real interesting song by Joni
I remember Dylan and Joan and few other folk singers went country in the 70's
but Joni went down the LA express way.
My Joni Cd library has a gap between Chalk Mark and T I so i do not know of
any other CW Joni?.

I was singing River today while I was crossing  the Columbia River which does
not freeze up so instead of skating away i would
sailboard away.

Meanwhile in Bluegrass country
Alison Krauss's Forget about it is real moving collection of songs with
Quality backup The Dobro by Jerry Bass is first rate

Here in Oregon i noticed a new white VW bug with a graphic logo on the door
saying
Oregon Ferret Society.

Hey Mark or Travis I was a LA from Jr High till College then I became and 24 7
365 Architect totally gave up Fiction till i got Harry Pottered, Good thing
they only come out once a year.Your Email is a keeper.
