A local man, identifying himself only as "Lama" hosted what was being termed "A Celebration For Vince and Joni" in the tiny, frayed "Skyline Chili" room of the Cincinnati Convention Center. Ostensively he's treating the city to hors d'oeuvres and champagne, but the grimy scene and parade of street characters is more reminiscent of Steely Dan's "Dirty Work". The big band from the Blue Wisp Jazz Club set the tone early by playing "Happy Days Are Here Again", over and over again, using an arrangement passed down from the political conventions. "I got a good rate on the room after New Years' Day. I told 'em they didn't have to clean up," said Lama as he wheeled around, eagle-eyed, searching for another waitress bringing yet another tray of drinks. Ankle deep in streamers, paper horns and party hats, Lama seemed happy but perhaps a bit distracted. "It's a great time for Joni. Her paintings are being recognized. She has Kilauren and her grandson. She's in the (Rock and Roll) Hall of Fame where she belongs. And now, nominations for 'Both Sides Now'. This is great.... Have you seen any single women?" - ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 04:49:57 -0500 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Will The Next One In The Nest Glitter For Them So?

I haven't had any problems (yet) when I deposit into the mailing slot in the PO itself. Luckily this is convenient for me since I'm in the PO anyway to check for incoming mail at the PO box.

When someone else starts to talk about what it means to THEM, we relate on one level but on another level we want to say "but *I* feel this song, this emotion much more strongly than you do, because of what I've gone through". Such is the magic of Joni's writing. "Jericho" is the one that hits me like a ton of bricks and makes me want to say to Joni (with Tom Waits' words) "You must be reading my mail..." Are we guilty of subliminally thinking that if Joni was immensely popular that it would dilute the significance of her music to us as individuals?

I had a Fender Rhodes piano in the good old days. It was stolen from our band's van behind CBGB's in New York one night. After that, I bought a different electronic piano with fancier synth features, but I sure did miss that heavy old Rhodes. Still do. I think I remember seeing a film clip of Joni Mitchell accompanying herself with a Rhodes on a soulful melancholic Woodstock. I can't remember the name of the concert or the film, but I distinctly remember the sound of the song and I am sure it was a Rhodes. Is my memory correct, there, folks?

One for the Hejira cover itself and another for the video footage that is included on the Shadows and Light japanese dvd. In which case, it's probable that both locations were used, since I can't picture them flying Toller out to cheese land just to get him in a rink. New York sounds right for that." John, it had also occurred to me that at least two shoots were used for Joni's work around this time, and maybe even for the Hejira cover itself. On one hand, Toller Cranston seems pretty sure he was in Buffalo, NY, and it seems unlikely that he'd confuse Buffalo with Madison, WI (no offense, Jerry N.! ;-). On the other, local DJs have presented a Madison Hejira-shoot as a fait accompli and gospel truth. Moreover, some enterprising lister with roots in the area and a long memory even recalled a newspaper article that came out in the Madison area at the time the photo shoot is said to have occurred. Finally, I'm familiar with the area alleged to have been used: believe me, it's a dead-ringer. So perhaps Joni authorized several shoots likely to yield good results, and then "picked and chose" between the two to arrive at what eventually wound up on the cover. I could probably make some local calls, look through microfiche at a library, and settle the Madison part of the equation once and for all, but just haven't had time to do so. Maybe some day! But I can't sign off without adding a personal note. After 10 years of increasingly cramped work space for its employees, the organization I work for recently completed a brand new addition. And as of the first of the year, I have been graced with a window office overlooking a wooded area and Lake Monona--no, not the lake on which the Hejira shots are rumored to have been taken, but "close enough for folk music," as we used to say. The lake is frozen white, and contrasts starkly in its stern January beauty with the bare trees that surround it. And so I have the privilege of viewing what looks like a living, evolving version of the Hejira cover every single day. I feel like I've died and gone to Joni-heaven!! Can't wait to get to work. Despite what some list members I respect may believe, there is a God. ;-) Mary P., Returned to the chilling temperatures of Madison after a two-week foray to New Orleans (hi, Paz!) and Gulf Shores, Alabama.

I also have high emotional stakes in her works. I feel so connected to Joni's music for many, many personal and emotionally based reasons. I know that I can't explain it to those who "dont" get it and it doesn't really bother me anymore. Joni's lyrics reach deep down inside me and tell me that I'm not alone, that I'm not some kind of freak with too many feelings...some of the many things I've heard over the years. Most importantly, the people that I love and cherish, who are close to me DO get it and me and that is all I need. I like that she's not "popular" or perceived as cool. I love that. I've been on the outside looking in for so long that it just feels normal to me.

I know what you mean, and my last post was very tongue-in-cheek. But being the eternal optimist, I always try and "convert" people to what I consider good music, or in Joni's case, the best music! I've even had a few successes here and there - and I'm counting comments like "Yeah, that song was OK" as succesful, given that some of my friends actually own (and play) Brittany Spears, Hansen, etc. But I understand what you mean about some songs, or even albums being too personal to share. I'm reluctant to play certain tracks for people for fear they will make some disparaging comment. But then again, if just one person in a hundred says "Wow, what a great song" then it makes it all worthwhile!

Joni, popular... gasp! Somehow, though I suspect she'd like to be more settled financially, I can't see her enjoying the spotlight very much en masse. I think it was rather different when she was being "toasted" by her peers at the TNT tribute than it might be if she were to be mobbed on the streets by the crazed fans that a huge surge in popularity would inherently generate. I used to play a lot of tennis until it became tris chic in the 80's and I couldn't get a court on weekends. I see the future of Joni concerts if she were to become the latest trend I'd be stuck in the nosebleed section with the jerks shouting out because they don't recognize all of the songs (a la Detroit) and have to give the promoters my first born child for the priviledge of even being allowed into the line to buy tickets to the venue. I just can't see Joni wanting that for herself, she just wants the recognition and respect she has deserved for many years and is finally getting due to the fact that some of the more popular artists of the day are pointing fingers in her direction when asked about musicians who have influenced them in their own careers. For me, I am happy to hold her close to my heart for all of the hours of pleasure (and release of tears) she has gifted us all with over the span of her career. If she ends up being the latest golden egg I'll rejoice for her success as she spits in the face of the "machine." She will have succeeded in spite of them, not due to them.

I know where Bob is coming from. There is something so powerfully personal and special about listening to Ms. Mitchell's music- I don't want to share the experience. It's almost too difficult to put into words as for me, the FEELING is sooooo strong. Too close to home, and perhaps too revealing. Sometimes I think that most people wouldn't get it in the same way I do. Often times I try to expose a hand-picked individual to that sublime feeling, but unfortunately, most don't get it! Over the years I have certainly made some converts, but I think none to the same level as I. My ex-wife hated Joni's voice!! Can you imagine?! Needless to say, my Joni listening was done primarily in the car. Maybe that's why I'm no longer married!!! In terms of her popularity- there are a ton of artists who I thought I fell in love with, and once they became commercial successes, and over exposed, I quickly turned off. So I suppose it is best this way w/Ms. Mitchell. But as Hell stated, I sure would be able to listen to her more when people were around!
