And welcome it was, to the local economy. No doubt there will be those who will want to make the trip to see where the event took place. It's all very moving. Joan in Scotland. Yes, it would be great to find out where she went while she was there but I suspect she didn't make it so far north as my neck of the woods. She, Joan, is born to an Anderson and, as it happens my great grandparents were Andersons. As was the way of things at the time in that part of the world, once you reached the age of twelve or thirteen you had to make your own way in the world. The girls would go in to service and the boys would join the cattle and sheep drives to the south of Scotland to where the animals would be loaded onto ships and taken to the 'colonies'. These lads would work their passage on the boats and, with the animals, would land in the new worlds with fortunes to seek and adventures to experience. Most of these kids were illiterate but would manage to get messages home to broken hearted mothers by having a local chruch minister write for them. Indeed in the case of my own family, we established that some had settled in New York, California and Canada. But the link was lost and many were never heard from again. So, the way I figure it, she was on her way to see me, her long lost cousin. but I was working on the rigs at the time and we missed one another..............ahaha... .....as Chris would say, I'll get me coat! oh, and by the way Willy, regarding Subject: Joni's Lead Balloons.

Her interplay with JT on this record is just SOOO amazing - her dulcimer and his guitar picking are wonderful complements! And the combination of their voices, in the 1970 concert and on "Long Ago & Far Away" on Mud Slide Slim, are simply some of the best duets ever! After having seen James do River on the Tribute show, it certainly appears that Joni & James are mutually respectful. Wouldn't it be grand for the two of them to tour together the next time she goes out (assuming there's a next time)? After all the combination of Joni & Bob Dylan was so gross! Not that Dylan was bad, but they didn't compliment each other. Like having a glass of fine wine followed by a big ol' greasy chili cheeseburger! Anyway, it'd be great...Joni does a set, then takes several smoke breaks while James does a set, then they close with a set together!

This is the highlight of the TNT tribute for me (as well as Diana Krall's ACOY) Literally brings tears to my eyes. The connection between Joni and James still seems so strong. Knowing their history together sure adds greatly to the moment. "Anyway, it'd be great...Joni does a set, then takes several smoke breaks while James does a set, then they close with a set together!" This certainly be one not to miss!

I thought the pairing was great because it forced Joni at several points during the concerts to defend herself proudly, which I strongly respected her for. For example, one of the post shows that someone had written stated that after being insulted by a fan, Joni declared, "Fuck you, I am just as good as Bob!" And at the show that I attended at Maryland College, a fan who shouted out, "bring out dylan" was actually hauled off the floor by the guards if i recall best. *** And not that This was the only good reason to pair the two together.. The shows were WOnderful! Joni was in such fine form and having Brian Blade on drums and Mark Isham on Trumpet was Spanktastic.

Is there any record of where Joni went in Scotland? I vaguely remember her saying something about heavy drapes and mustiness. That would be around the early time when she was with Larry Klein.>>>>>> Having a genuine interest in genealogy (my own goes back to 1066 and all that ) and Scots history. I've been fascinated about any Joni links with Scotland. Since her very early days when I realised her maiden name was Anderson, which is a very common name in Scotland and also a large downtown area in my home town of Glasgow. But it was really based on no facts at all. ( as it turns out Joni's dad, and the "Anders' son" name,came from Norway) It wasn't until the mid 90's that I came upon an interview tape of Joni, stating that she owed a lot of her songwriting skills to her Irish and Scottish ancestry. That made me perk up a bit. Then Brian Hinton's book came out in 96 and explained quite a bit about her links with Scotland. It seems that Joni's maternal grandmother, Sadie McKee (nee Henderson), who Joni dedicated her "Clouds" LP to, had quite an influence on Joni. Joni is quoted as saying " My maternal grandmother, was a classical trained musician who came East when the prairies opened up by train. She was Scottish-French and a poetand musician, but she still kicked the kitchen door off it's hinges out of her frustration at being trapped in the role of a housewife" Quite a bit of "fire" in the Joni-genes then ;~) along with some surprising details. Joni reckons she "got the bard" from Sadie " who wrote poetry in a thick Scottish brogue like Robert Burns, about the lifestyles of the French and Indian traders. Sleekit cowerin timerous beastie......... Joni ?????? I don't think :o)))) It also turns out that Sadie's great grandfather had once been employed by Sir Walter Scott, the Scottish novelist and also a renowned collector of Scots ballads. It seems Sadie's g-grandfather was given a medal by Sir Walter for "ploughing the fastest furrows in the shortest time" All in all it looks like our Joan is a real "earth mother" way back in her roots. And I'm sure all the French/Irish/Swedish genes have helped too in that great big melting pot that is North America, making her the extremely talented individual we all love. Willy wrote <<<<<<. Is there any record of where Joni went in Scotland? I vaguely remember her saying something about heavy drapes and mustiness.

But I do remeber her giving an interview when recording part of "Chalkmark" at Peter Gabriel's house in England that she and Larry Klein had taken a short trip to Scotland.

I enjoyed the contrast between them, champagne and beer, introversion and concentration with Joni and dancing in the aisles and smoking funny stuff second-hand with Bob. I was very glad I'd stayed to see him once I got used to the sudden increase in the noise and energy level. Couldn't understand anything he said and barely recognized the classic songs I'm familiar with, but it was thrilling experiencing two legends on the same night. I enjoyed that MSG concert more than seeing Joni all by herself. The BSN audience was almost too respectful a crowd, and there was that orchestra sound lulling me to sleep too. Great being in the same space as Joni though. No matter what she's doing, she's a magical performer; no complaints there.
