After all, 2000 brought us a new studio release, a tour, an exhibition of her paintings...I imagine she'll be keeping a low profile in 2001, UNLESS her strategy is to knock off a record a year to fulfill her contract with Reprise and then retire. My preference would be to see her switch over to a label like Righteous Babe where she could have even more freedom with her musical projects. As far as Tributes go, the JMDL put out FIFTEEN CD's worth of tribute in 2000!! Way to go gang! No way we'll be able to top that in '01! Not to mention the TNT Tribute CD, not to mention The Howling Wolf show which I AM STILL PATIENTLY WAITING ON!!! ;~) Also, the "I Came Upon A Child of God" CD which has shipped to me but I haven't gotten it yet. As for the Christmas album, I for one hope it DOESN'T happen (at least not at the expense of something else). After all, she's got "River" and "Facelift" and that's about it. "Gift of The Magi" would be great to hear, but there's no way she's going to 'resurrect' a song she never recorded in the first place. The line "Christmas is sparkling out on Carol's lawn" doesn't make "Chinese Cafe" a Christmas song. So what would we get? I doubt that she would record songs of a highly sacred nature, and please God NOT the Hallelujah chorus! ;~) So that leaves the secular ones like "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting, etc.), Let It Snow, Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bell Rock...Maybe she could dig up some classier ones like "Lo, How a Rose ere Blooming" or something. She could do "The Little Drummer Boy" with Brian Blade, but then it wouldn't be very PC to refer to him as a Drummer BOY, would it? ;~) Plus, Christmas albums are so typical, and Joni is so atypical. I would only hope that if and when she does release it, I don't have to pay $50 for the Special Collector's Edition in a Currier & Ives tin with a painting of Joni and Santa touching tongues! Caption, 'I saw Joni kissing Santa Claus'...:~) Anyway, when it's all said and done, it'll be hard to top 2000 as far as Joni goes!!

Among the earliest covers of Joni were the covers by George Hamilton IV who was basically a C&W singer. Winnona is basically C&W but she did "Help Me" pretty much straight up without diverting much from Joni's original version. There's a great countrified version of BSN by Baillie & The Boys included in our Covers series. I recently got a 1991 interview with Joni on a CBC show called "Swingin' On A Star" where she stated that her own home town of Saskatoon didn't stock her records because it was basically a country & western town.

I been having a listen to DED while riding the train to work. Anyone who knows the DC-area Metro rail system can tell you about some of the L - O - N - G escalators in the subterranean stations, most notably at the Dupont Circle and Wheaton stops. The latter is my beginning and end point each day. Last night I was ascending the escalator when "Smokin' (Empty, Try Another)" began. It was incredibly fun and interesting to ride the moving stairs while the song played in my headphones -- all the more so because the middle escaltor was being serviced by men who were yelling status to each other from bottom to top. I guess you'd have to "be there" to really appreciate it ... to my DC Joni compadres, try it sometime! It's a totally "industrial" experience! Lori in DC NP: Pat Metheny, Sueqo con Mexico Yahoo!

In the dark, and this year glacial temperatures of the midwest winter evenings, I pass by the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica each night on my way home from work. Whenever I'm playing TI, "TML" comes on just about that time. Now, the Basilica is this immense grey stone Romanesque structure, and is home to a rather large murder or crows, as well as a substantial colony of bats. So imagine if you will, the haunting strains of "TML" playing as huge numbers of giant crows wheel skywards cawing, while underneath them, the bats stream down from the Basilica belfries sending out their high-pitched echolocation calls. Needless to say, it puts a whole new twist on the experience! Don Rowe ===== Visit me anytime at http://www.mp3.com/donrowe Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.

Merry Christmas to all my JMDL buddies! (With apologies to Clement Moore...) 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all 'round my place I was finally unwinding from the holiday pace Gifts had been purchased and wrapped one and all With just minor bruises from trips to the mall! The parties were over, the church functions too For the next couple days I'd have nothing to do No bikes to assemble or toys to arrange And hope upon hope, no clothes to exchange When out on the lawn there arose such a hissing I sprang from my chair to see what I was missing I turned down my music and had a good look, Twas thinking it might be a burglar or crook! The Moon at the Window was bright to be sure And it caused the commotion to appear as a blur Then there was the strangest thing e'er in my 'burb, A big limousine that was parked on my curb! With a long-blond-haired rider, with cheeks oh so bony I knew in a moment it had to be Joni! She opened the door, with her crew she came out, And approaching my doorway she let out this shout "On Pansy, On Nietzsche, On Larry & Brian, On Shorter, On Isham, you guys quit your cryin'! It'll be our great joy for a Joni fan so big To give him the gift of his own private gig!" At that point in time I knew not what to think, Perhaps I'd had excess martinis to drink? But up to my doorstep, they soon started knockin' "Come in here, ya'll, and let's get to rockin'!" It wasn't much space but we soon made it do With guitar & piano & dulcimer too! Joni then stated she'd play multi-sets And then I could join her for several duets Her voice how it twinkled! You just had to hear it! And of course, twixt her lips, an American Spirit, So all through the halls did her crystal sounds ring, From Harlem in Havana to I Had A King She played all night long, I could not trust my eyes, She said she'd do one more set, just for surprise, And then with remaining time she had afforded, Played all of the songs she had never recorded! I lept to my feet and applauded with glee, To finally hear 'lost' songs like "Strawflower Me", And when she'd completed the final refrains, She said she would encore with Paprika Plains! She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work Played all 16 minutes with nary a quirk, She finished, and told me "It's not quite enough, For here in my bag is some other cool stuff!" I pondered and wondered, pray what would she bring us "Don Juan's Reckless Demo's" & "Alternate Mingus"! And I was so pleased that she gave them to me, And knew that I'd soon be creating a tree! I gave her a hug for the gifts she had brought me And thanked her for all of the lessons she'd taught me She said that her visit had been loads of fun, And she'd shoot for Ashara's in 2001! She sprang for her car, to her band gave a whistle And away they then sped like a heat-seeking missile But I heard her exclaim on this night oh so blest, I love ALL of my fans, you guys are the best!! - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

In the Dec. 18-25 Stories of the Year issue (i.e., it's the holidays and we'll just rehash all the crap we put in earlier issues) there is an article on Linda Ronstadt by Jonathan Schwartz, I'm assuming the Jonathan Schwartz who is the former? current? disc jockey who used to be on WNEW in New York (having not lived on the East Coast for 20 years, I don't remember whether WNEW changed its format.) Whatever. The first question: JS: Have you heard Joni Mitchell's album of standards, Both Sides Now, like the ones you made with [arranger] Nelson Riddle? LR: I didn't know she made one. I heard a standard she sang on a Herbie Hancock album. JS: "The Man I Love"? LR: Yes. It killed me. Well, back to wracking my brain for gift ideas.

Thanks, Patrick for your kind words...I got a hearty chuckle. I lurk...I realize. Hi Sue...glad to hear from you. Hi Amy you are always in my heart and mind. I wanted to wish everyone--a blessed holiday season. My wish for you is a year filled with peace of mind because with that everything falls into place. Love of self because with that comes love for others. I took a leap of faith---this Christmas--(I say leap, because I have realized that not everyone in my circle of people in my life--love Joni as I) I purchased Both Sides Now for my 83 year old Grandmother. I hope she will love it as I do.

Circles are fun...we er wanted to go that way...I can't believe that made your top 10! That was a nice ride I'm glad I got a chance to talk to you and meet you:-) When I joined this list one of the 1st posts I got was Anne being so overcome by the generosity and kindness and it touched me too even though I was new. Not much has changed in the short time I have been here...I have myself been overwhelmed by kindness and generosity and it still amazes me. I can now record music which is something I have wanted to do for a while, but most important is the feeling of great friendship I have experienced. Well I don't think I could make a top 10...but before I start rambling even MORE I just want to say thank you to all I have met and communicated with. :-) Much Love Nikki "Dream on but don't imagine they'll all come true...Vienna waits for you" ~ Billy Joel > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com]On Behalf Of Anne > Sandstrom > Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2000 12:03 PM > To: 'joni@smoe.org' > Subject: Top JMDL moments of 2000 > > > Some of these moments are incredibly sad, some joyful, but all memorable. > And many were 'off-list' but list-related. > > - Finding out about Wally B's passing - rest peacefully my friend > > - getting emails from EVERYWHERE with wishes and prayers for my return to > health > > - picking up the phone to hear Linda Worster's voice (Linda, where are > you???) > > - having lunch with Ashara and crying into my salad when BSN > started playing > > - Chuck E. guessing correctly which car was mine at JoniFest > > - getting lost with Nikki (but we were just following everybody else, > really!) > > - Joy presenting me with the signed Joni poster > > - Ashara covering my couch with Joni stuff from all of you > > - being serenaded underneath a streetlight by Victor > > - listening to the tour during chemo > > - being able to write this email... > > I wish for all of you the gifts of Joy and Hope > > lots of love > Anne ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 00:00:21 -0600 From: Scott and Jody Subject: Re: I'm Warming up to the MESSiah! bject: I'm Warming up to the MESSiah!

For the record, I wasn't belittling the Tribute CD's in any way when I said I'd like to see the "official" version! Bob has done a great job, I'm just curious to see how these artists handle the songs in a studio, rather than a concert setting, ie. the TNT show (which I haven't seen or heard either)! > As for the Christmas album, I for one hope it DOESN'T happen (at least not > at the expense of something else).

The line "Christmas is sparkling out on Carol's lawn" > doesn't make "Chinese Cafe" a Christmas song. So what would we get? I doubt > that she would record songs of a highly sacred nature, and please God NOT > the Hallelujah chorus! ;~) My way of thinking is, any Joni is good Joni, and while of course I'd rather have a whole album of originals, I won't turn up my nose at any new release Joni sees fit to make! And since she's made mention of this Xmas album several times, I thought it was far more likely than a new original album. In actual fact I agree with Bob, and don't think we'll see anything next year (more's the pity) but it's nice to hope!

She sings these two songs to makes them sound like she's at a martini jazz bar with close friends behind her in the dark while she is in the smoky spot light. On the Chieftains Tears of stone cd has JM singing Magdalene Laundries ,they create a strange background harp, tin whistle,strings that gives a ghostly feeling. The song has a strange quicking tempo at 1:45 into the song. This CD has an Allstar list of Women singing Celtic songs. The Screaming Orphan's do sweet background vocals on ML.
