(was Joni in BC) A recent e-mail from Ashara (about something else) reminded me how much I missed this list, so I signed on again - at which point my phone lines went dead rendering me off-line for the last week. Now repaired, and catching up on digests, I find..... Kakki wrote: >I recall the story posted here about the guy who was hitchiking up >there and got picked up by Joni. and Steve D replied >The guy was Rick Scott, and the story was told by Paul Castle. >Rick and Paul were both at Folk Alliance - Rick lives on one of >the islands on the coast up there. Never met up with Paul, >despite my efforts. :( So sorry to miss you, Steve. My fault - I did get your message but stupidly lost the piece of paper with your room number on it in my bulging tote bag and generally got swept away in the swirl of panels/showcases/more showcases etc - I was sure I would bump into you at any moment, but sadly..... I wanted to tell you about the great Jonifest we had on The Folktrain on the way to Vancouver - (I've mentioned it briefly in my latest 'Across the Pond' column). I'd already gone to sleep, jet-lagged and exhausted, when the train shuddered to a grinding halt sometime after midnight. I remember waking up wondering where the hell I was and peering out of the window into the darkness and seeing a sign emerging out of the snow saying SASKATOON. I noticed a few of my fellow 'folktrainers' - Gregg Cagno, Christian Bauman, Annie Wenz, I think, excitely taking photographs of each other in front of the big sign (I later discovered they nearly didn't make it back on to the train as when they returned from their brief night-time run round Joniville, they found the steps already up and the train doors all closed - and no one responding to their frantic banging and crazy cries for help - it was 20 something degrees below out there !! - and they didn't have their coats! They were finally let back on - after frantically running right up to the front of the train and begging the engineers to help them - they got a right bollocking, apparently). Lying in my cosy bunk, blissfully unaware of all this, a voice in the train corridor says "Are you awake in there? C'mon, get up! They're having a Jonifest in the coffee bar at the front of the train." I don't think I've put my trousers on so quickly in months - running down the narrow train corridor with my heavy guitar case, praying that it wasn't all over by the time I got there - now I know how you all feel on the way to Ashara's! I arrived in time to find my pal from London, Karen Bates, singing Carey. I needn't have worried - the session went on for hours, Joni after Joni, with howls of "Saskatoooooon!" after each song (this remained our 'secret' greeting whenever we saw each other in Vancouver) - I forget exactly who did what - Gregg Cagno (a really lovely guy with a James Taylor-type voice) did a truly beautiful version of 'River', I remember. I ended up doing 'Case of You', 'Little Green' and 'Gallery'. A major 'night to remember' that really makes me want to go to Topsfield this year.

Rick lives on one of > the islands on the coast up there. and Kakki replied: >Thanks, Steve - that was such a great story. Maybe someone >could re-post it here..... I love this story too - after Folk Alliance I spent a couple of days with Rick and his lady, Valley, at their amazing home on a small island (population c250 - 20 minutes walk end to end) just off Vancouver Island - the distant views across the ocean to the snow-capped mountains on that coastline were breathtaking - and I got to jam with Rick, who is just a brilliant dulcimer player. Here's his story again. >>>>>>>>>> "In 1971, I was hitchhiking with my wife Sue, my friend JR Stone and my dog Mousse, up the Sechelt (Sunshine) Coast of British Columbia. It was tough for three hippies and a dog to catch a ride, but after about half an hour a woman driving a beat up Ford Pinto pulled over. Big and shaggy, Mousse immediately climbed into the front seat and laid his head down on the driver's lap. JR slid in next to him, Sue and I got in the back and we headed off down the road. The woman was patting Mousse's head and complimenting us on what a nice dog he was. She asked us how far we were going... about 30 kilometres to Pender Harbour. Between her question and our ability to answer, there was a group realization that the driver was Joni Mitchell. Each of us took turns trying to articulate the name of our destination, but all that came out was stammering. When we finally managed to tell her, she said she could take us almost all the way but she had to stop off at Lord Jim's Lodge to pick up a friend. She said she might go to the pub but, if we were still hitchhiking when they came out, they would give us a ride the rest of the way. I think we just sat there staring at Joni Mitchell stroking Mousse's head. I was fantasizing that in the next life I might be lucky enough to come back as a dog. When we got to the turnoff she pulled over and as we were getting out she noticed my instrument case and asked what it was. When I told her it was a dulcimer she said, "Way out, can I see it?" The next thing I knew she was examining my dulcimer with great interest. JR Stone is a soft spoken North Carolina mountain man of few words, so I volunteered the information that he had built my instrument. She beamed at him and examined the dulcimer even more closely. After a few minutes she asked if he would build her one. With a great deal of difficulty he finally managed to answer, "Sure". As Joni left us, she renewed her offer to take us further later and asked JR where she could find him. We told her where we would be for the weekend. We couldn't believe what had just happened and didn't think we'd ever see her again. Nonetheless, we stopped hitchhiking and just stood by the road. An hour later she came back down the road with her friend in the passenger seat and stopped to pick us up. Paying no mind to the passenger, Mousse jumped straight onto his lap and settled back down with his head on Joni. We all squeezed in the back and she introduced us to Graham (Nash). She drove us to Pender Harbour and next day came to visit to discuss dulcimer specifications with JR. I was amazed when she took up my dulcimer, tuned all the strings to the same note and proceeded to play "A Case of You" from her "Blue" album. I'll never wash my dulcimer again. Over the next three weeks JR built her an exquisite mountain dulcimer. But it took him another week to deliver it because he was so shy. She was so delighted, she paid him a hundred dollars more than his original quote, which I think was $300. Over 20 years later, in 1996, I was reading a Rolling Stone article about Joni and in the accompanying photograph there she was with JR's dulcimer hanging on the wall behind her. I must admit I felt a twinge of jealousy that JR got in Rolling Stone before I did. JR Stone still lives and builds amazing instruments in Boone, North Carolina. He has built me several four string dulcimers and a 6 string and bass dulcimer as well."

Yea i know i know, Ones a great song writer the other a voice. But what a voice. I have seen celine 3 times over the past 8 years in concert. She is electric and a great interpreter of song, given the right songs to sing. Unfortunately celines downfall has been her americanisation, that sanitized, anti feeling emotionalism that abounds in most of her songs. Her popularity has come from the fact that she is so accessable. Nothing to dislike, a great voice, safe subject matter...But then there is the other celine, the french speaking, the celine that sings the songs of brel and goldman, Plamondon and Cocciante. It is so similar to friends that hate joni because they' ve only heard her sing 'Both sides now'. A high pitched squeal with a folky guitar...yeuk. That is not joni and so Titanic is not celine. If you want to get a sense of Celine listen to her in her own language, the language she learnt from birth. Listen to Vole or J'attendais, listen to Le blues du businessman or Quand on ne que L'amour. In time Celine will be seen for the great interpreter of song that she is and will I am sure be up there with Piaf, Fitzgerald and dare i say it billie. Oh laugh as much as you want. Suffering doesn't give one exclusive rights on the ability to feel. What it does do is fuck you up and send you to a possible early grave on account of all the drugs you imbibe. Celine ain't wasting her life, I for one would rather have a lot of her talent than too little and yes....I hope her son grows up to be gay just like Barbras' Jason. xxxxxlove to you all Clive ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 12:40:13 EST From: TerryM2222@aol.com Subject: Re: preganant Joni Dream In a message dated 3/9/2001 4:14:34 AM Eastern Standard Time, colin@tantra.fsbusiness.co.uk writes: << Last night I had a Joni dream.

We were looking at this strange monstrous ceramic statue which had a mermaid head and body on it. As we went around it and saw the other side it was an old fashioned cast iron stove though still with a ceramic finish - it was a dirty yellow color. On one corner of it were some strange foreign looking canisters that held who knows what but gave the impression that the stove was still being used. Now into the dream comes a foreign man who seems to be selling these antiques and asks me if I would be interested in buying and old radio he bought. It is quit large for a portable radio (about the size of a loaf of bread) and a strange shape, similar to the front end of a 1960ish car and the knobs are where the headlights would be if it was a car and the bumper is where the radio shoes the stations. As I turn it over I notice it is signed by Joni Mitchell 1970 and I recognize her signature though it looks like it came from a younger hand than from the signature I'm used to seeing. Not quite as many flourishes but definitely Joni's signature. I ask him about it. He says he bought it from Graham Nash who came in one morning in bad shape and sold it to him. When he sees I'm interested he says I can have it for $170. I'm besides myself at this point because I want it so badly but of course just like in real life I'm flat broke so I can't buy it from him. I ask him if he knows Joni which I figure is possible since he seems to know Graham. He says yes he used to cook for her while she was on vacation. I ask him if Joni ever wrote a song for/about him. He says he has no idea, he just met her for a short period of time then she disappeared from his life. At this point I start waking up and I'm thinking to myself "this must be Carey". And then I'm awake but humming Carey to myself for quite a long time afterwards. >> Oy vey. Chere ve go again.

(but, i would be open to a proper explanation of what folk music entails.) Joni herself maintains that none of her albums are folk. 3)is LOTC more simple and rushed sounding than Clouds and STAS? i'm confused as to what he means rushed, but i certainly dont think it sounds more simple.

It should be on JoniMitchell.com, right now the "Discography" section is sorely lacking. I'm sure Jim has it under control though, and we'll see that section filled out eventually.

The teenage girl who apparently lives there said to her friends as they asked if they could put some music on, "Don't worry, I hid all my mom's Joni Mitchell albums." LOL!
