Mmm, nice! Joni content: I finally got to hear Robert Downey's version of River today. The boy can certainly sing, although he didn't sound like I expected - a bit huskier, almost reminiscent, though in a very distant way, of the dreaded Michael B**lton. I prefer James Taylor's version from the tribute gig. At least I don't need to buy the Ally Mcbeal Xmas album now, and put up with all the other stuff (my question remains: Vonda Shepard: why?). On the subject of actors singing, I saw Duets last week, and while it's no masterpiece, it wasn't as bad as I'd been led to expect by the critical kicking meted out to it. And while it seems to be open season on Gwyneth Paltrow here at the moment, for reasons I can't work out, the woman can certainly sing; I think she does a lovely job with Just my Imagination. And Paul Giametti's barnstorming rendition of Hello It's Me was a very enjoyable movie moment this year. That's my lot for now. Season's greetings to one and all, especially those whose sense of kindness and warmth is in need of boosting. May all beings be happy, Azeem in London NP: Bebel Gilberto - Bananeira ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Dec 2000 18:13:22 +0200 From: "Vadim Litvin" Subject: Merry Christmas I wish each and everyone of you out there a wonderful and peaceful Christmas and a happy and successful New Year!!

Dear Loving Friends, Walter, and I also, feel that he did his family an injustice by leaving suddenly the way he did. So he has moved out Monday to try to get it right in his heart. The only thing I can do at this point is to let him go and allow him to mend his heart and do it the right way. We love each other very much but we will never have the relationship we dreamed of having done things the way we did. We are soulmates, but in order to right the wrong, Walter is extending an invitation to his family to be healthy if that is possible and if it isn't it can always be said that we came down on the side of right. I will miss him terribly!!!

Have no fear girl, your old pals are still here with plenty of mini-fests in the planning. Let me know if there is anything I can do. I hear there is a New Years Party at Atty Mays with a certain jmdler headlining the stage. That would make you feel alot better. Have a very Blessed Christmas and it is good to see you back around the list.

Hello Bryan, No, as far as Joni's official/unofficial web site (www.jonimitchell.com) has it, I haven't heard of a return to the studio. As I recall though, we didn't hear about the original BSN session in England until it was already done. (Is that right, anyone?) As in, "BTW, there's new stuff in the can." Has she recorded everything that Mendoza arranged for her, (incl the Hejira, Judgement of the Moon and Stars) or just the BSN stuff? > ------------------------------ > > Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2000 17:39:44 EST > From: BRYAN8847@aol.com > Subject: Any new recording activity? > > Speaking of upcoming/possible Joni releases, does anyone know if she went > back in the studio with Mendoza to make the record she mentioned > during the > BSN tour (older Mitchell compositions re-recorded with > orchestra)?

Well any way Stevie Wonder did do back up harmonica with JM on Herbie Hancocks version of Summertime. I am Anxiously awaiting the moment i can slip this JM tribute cd in my system. The Quality without a name The search which we make for this quality, in our own lives,is the central search of any person, the crux of any individual person's story. It is the search for those moments and situations when we are most alive. Christopher Alexander "The Timeless Way of Building" JMDL TRIVIA QUESTION Wasn't The first time i ever did saw your face Written by Ewan Mac Coll The first time i heard this seductive song was on a Gordon Lightfoot album i think it was the one with a picture of him leaning back in a directors chair with a hole in his boots showing. I think a most prolific and interesting JMDL listing for 2000 should go to WALLY K kbennet and DfLahm should get VIPJMDL awards love to all jmdlpersons brian NP Murray Perahia Goldberg Variations BACH ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2000 #475 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
