I'd ask her: Considering the difficulties in having a career as a musician, what has kept her going all these years? What percentage is the joy and challenge of creating new music? How much of her continuing is because of financial pressure, i.e., she must make *some* money when she releases a new cd? How much of it is fulfilling contracts? How much is it friends or other artists asking what she's doing? How much is continuing her self-identity as a musician? In short, what keeps her creative juices flowing enough to still be in the business? I'd expect a very long answer to these questions, with probably a different emphasis for different times in her life. I'd most like to know what is inspiring her right now. Debra Shea ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Apr 2001 16:51:22 +0200 From: "Peter Holmstedt" Subject: Itzhak Perlman - Inspiring! This article from the Houston Chronicle about a more inspiring than usual performance by Perlman in 1995 was forwarded to me today. Maybe you haven't heard it before:--------------------- On Nov. 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio as a child, and so he has braces on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches. To see him walk across the stage one step at a time, painfully and slowly, is an unforgettable sight. He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs, tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play. By now, the audience is used to this ritual. They sit quietly while he makes his way across the stage to his chair. They remain reverently silent while he undoes the clasps on his legs. They wait until he is ready to play. But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap -it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that sound meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do. People who were there that night thought to themselves: "We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage - to either find another violin or else find another string for this one. But he didn't. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before. Of course, anyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him modulating, changing, recomposing the piece in his head. At one point, it sounded like he was de-tuning the strings to get new sounds from them that they had never made before. When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium. We were all on our feet, screaming and cheering, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done. He smiled, wiped the sweat from this brow, raised his bow to quiet us, and then he said, not boastfully, but in a quiet, pensive, reverent tone, "You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left." What a powerful line that is. It has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows? Perhaps that is the [way] of life - not just for artists but for all of us. So, perhaps our task in this shaky, fast-changing, bewildering world in which we live is to make music, at first with all what we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left. - - Jack Riemer, Houston Chronicle ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Apr 2001 11:03:41 EDT From: RoseMJoy@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni Interview In a message dated 4/8/01 3:57:35 AM Eastern Daylight Time, dsk11@bellatlantic.net writes: > emmy burns wrote: > > > I'd like to know what questions you all would ask Joni if you had the > chance. > > I'd ask her: What has she been painting lately?

I think it is great everyone is talking about the Mingus album, Because i feel that it is Spanktastic. Speaking of other Jazz, I just picked up this Pharoh Sanders record, "KARMA" it is quite interesting. SOrt of like John COltrane's "OM" but a bit more fucked up. That period of late sixties-early seventies really harvested some interesting music, whether you want to call it Jazz Fusion, Jazz-Rock, Complete Shit, INnovative, whatever, It was great IMHO. Everything from Miles Davis's "In a Silent Way" to "Get up with IT", early Weather Report, Donald Byrd's Black Byrd, Coltranes latter Sax freakouts like "INterstellar Space" and "Meditations." The list goes on and on. Most people would rather listen to earlier Jazz, which I love just as much and can understand why they would rather ignore the efforts past 1964 or so. I just am really fond of the experimentation that went on during the said period albeit if it was a bit naieve or over-the-top for the jazz medium. Much of the music turned out to be very influential on eletronic music of today. I think the Herbie Hancock Headhunters albums were big influences on the Chemical Brothers and DJ Shadow. But, that is enough from this peanut gallery.

One day while in London, I caught part of a Jules Shear show on BBC and heard this woman playing backed by some strings and guessed it was Bjork but was not certain. She was absolutely mesmerizing! Suddenly I "got it" and saw there was a lot more avant-garde stuff going on than was apparent in the first few radio singles. I really like her work now. e ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Apr 2001 15:56:31 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: goodbye pork pie hat - --- SCJoniGuy@aol.com wrote: > I wanted to share > a cover that you can > listen to RIGHT NOW! > > It's a big band from Norway called "Kjellerbandet". > They do a killer version > of Dry Cleaner, WITH a female lead vocalist adding > Joni's lyric!

Coyote Rick responds: Last summer in Saskatoon, I had this very rare moment to really talk to JM. It was just her and me -- in front of the ladies room. Me tongue tied. Her cool as ice, and seemingly expecting a question or three. A million thoughts flew through my mind, but the words just couldn't find their way. All I said (that I recall) is, "You are so lucky!" What a dope. Honestly, the first time I have been totally awestruck. What I would have asked is: 1. How many paintings did you lose in the Malibu storms? 2. Have you re-created any of them? 3. What was Cass Elliot like as a friend? 4. You want your jacket back? 5&6. Would be about people we both know (not affiliated with the JMDL or Jim's site). 7. Do you really hang out with Madonna? 8. Wanna go outside for a smoke? 9. How can you stand not knowing what the JMDL members (surely your most faithful fans) have to say about your pursuits? and 10. (We get ten don't we?) Why don't you blow off the New England Jonifest and come to my annual Labor Day party? It's much closer and you don't have to sing! (Sorry, Ashara and Rose!) 3, 5, 6, 7 and maybe 8 qualify me as a cub reporter for the Star or E! :-) Thanks, Emmy, for conjuring up these thoughts!
