Long may you run! Second, it has been brought to me attention that Judy Collins did a 45 of Chelsea Morning which was never put on album. The Chelsea we have in the Covers collection is from her album "Living" and is a live version. Just wonder if any of you flower children out there have this single in your collection so we can appropriately include it. Lots of other exciting things going on "behind the scenes" in the realm of Joni songs by others...stay tuned!

The Chelsea we have in the Covers collection is from her album "Living" and is a live version." I have a nearly complete run of Judy Collins albums, but no 45's, unfortunately. Actually, we have two versions of Chelsea Morning in the Covers collection: a 1997 version from "Forever, An Anthology" on Vol 2, Disk 1, and the 1971 version from "Living" on Vol. 5. The one we're looking for is from the 1968 "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" sessions, and is on Elektra EK-45657.

Also reminds me of one night after a dinner with Joni at Maximo's. We were waiting for her to show at a party at the home of our mutual friend Lucy.

I don't see why when someone wishes to give a different point of view from that of others they need to sneer, be rude, belittle, and generally abuse people.(I don't consdier pointing this out to the person concerned to be abusive) It obviously doesn't bother you. How can we 'all get along' if people openly abuse others and others tell us to let them? I was perhaps stupid to have stuck my neck out. I am sure so one else will. I should have left it to those, more than i can count on one hand, who are offended by those posts. I find it odd that you should write to me publicly, telling me off for telling someone off publicly. I haven't seen any posts from you addressing those abusive posts either. Maybe it doesn't bother you. I find it odd that my addressing them does bother you. Whatever, perhaps it was a mistake to have done so. in future i will I will look the other way. Thanks for putting me straight. I stupidly thought that being blunt about it would put an end to it. I can see that won't happen. As always, those who dare to object to abuse in any form end up being looked upon as the abuser. What a strange, strange world. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2001 18:54:15 -0800 From: Michael Paz Subject: Interesting Items on Ebay The following are excerpts from private emails sent to me by Rosalita (constantly on the lookout for all things Joni) I went to the site and check it out and noticed that the pick gurad is NOT screwed into the guitar. I wrote her back and told her I smelled a rat. The master sleuth herselff went back on the prowl and came up with one signed by Whitney Houston. Looks like the same guitar with interchangeable pick guards. I still can't figure out what the whole scam is. My thoughts are he is copying the signitures and imprinting them on pickguards and selling cheap ass guitars for too much money. WHY THE HELL would Whitney sign a strat anyways?? Anyways buyers beware. I got a very similar guitar recently for a fellow jmdl member and it was half this price (retail). Ebay continues to worry me.

Is a "gentleman's club" a euphemism for a straight strip club or a gay club? I wanna know where to spend my money. (Ha! Not! I'm a home body. No discos for me either. I'd rather hang on the back porch with the other house guests, drinking with all the porch lighs left .... OFF talking quietly till late, late, late. :) They know who they are. As Julzie used to say, "MMMMMwah!" Or was that Joan Rivers?) :) Still, I would like to see Beth Patterson and Jason Marsalis play in clubs next time I'm in town. I have to sit on the floor in Preservation Hall just once. Just to say I've done it. And the Ryman Theatre and the Cavern (speaking of downstairs dives). And another fan-damn-tastic dinner in the French Quarter. And.... Anyway, this thread about downstairs dives reminds me of the last time I was in a jazz club here in Cincinati called "The Blue Wisp Jazz Club" watching the big band on Wednesday night with my father. We were in a booth for a change and I noticed that someone had thrown a drink at the wall and it was allowed to run-run-run down the wall and dry there. That didn't surprise me completely. Upon closer examination though, I realised that the staff had hung a picture on the drink-smeared wall, right over the trickle traces. **THAT** is a dive my friend.

Henry" Subject: Joni's Life, Loves, Music & gay support? hi gang, I am really excited as I just made and won my first ever bid on ebay and it is for an oop book published in '76 called "Joni Mitchell: Her Life, Her Loves, Her Music". I think it's been mentioned onlist before but I don't recall the reviews... So I'd appreciate any input/info on my new treasure anyone can give me... :o) Also, (and forgive me if this has already been spoken of as I'm way behind on my digests as usual) I was surprised to find the following item listed as I was unaware of it's existence. Let me say first that I am not gay and, personally, have always found the rants on personal gay relationships onlist as inappropriate because 1) as I said, it is personal and I never saw the same thing from the non-gay listers about their relationships, (which, btw, I would find just as boring unless it was somehow relevant to something Joni) 2) I've never known of any particular interest Joni had in gay society or any specific relevance of it to her music in general other than the fact that the beauty of her art seems to attract gays and str8s alike, and 3) being str8 myself, it just didn't interest me... (Hey, I'm entitled to my opinion, ain't I? ;o) ) However... I must admit I was surprised to find the following item on ebay which certainly indicates Joni's support/interest in, at least, the LA gay community as, considering how many things she decidedly does *not* participate in/ support, I'm sure her contribution of BYT was not included without her expressed desire and intent that it be so... and, as this is a side of Joni I am unfamiliar with, I am therefore curious to know if any of you, especially LA listers, know any more about it: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1402442784 Artist: Various Artists ** Title: Outfest 99 Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival ** Reprise PRO CD 9879 ** Released in 1999 ** From The Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival & Reprise Records comes this 12 track radio station promotional advance featuring the following artists/songs: 1.Yaz (Dont Go)(3:22) 2.Nu Flavor (Sprung)(4:38) 3.Orgy (Blue Monday)(3:45) 4.Thor-El (Patiently)(4:22) 5.SRC (Vulcan)(4:00) 6.Filter (Cancer)(6:39) 7.Shootyz Groove (Dear God)(Oh My God)(4:02) 8.Callahan (What Reason)(3:16) 9.Thisway (Crawl)(3:18) 10.Sasha (If You Believe)(4:00) 11.Penelope Houston (Scum)(2:59) 12.Joni Mitchell (Big Yellow Taxi)(3:57) cheers, pat NP: Ribbon Of Darkness - Lightfoot http://homepages.go.com/~badwolff/albums/album1/ Angelfire for your free web-based e-mail. http://www.angelfire.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2001 23:22:25 EST From: TanyerSCO@aol.com Subject: Re: Jungle Line, ~~ an essay, very long, 100% Joni Mitchell Content!!
