Gary is the one who handed Joni a Protea flower at a show back in the 60s and then later noticed she had included a protea in one of her album covers. I think he also has the distinction (Bob?) of being the only one who has professionally recorded Joni's unreleased song "Winter Lady." Clark, Ken and Steve J were at the party, along with other friends and family of Rick. We had an incredible sit-down dinner that Rick prepared all on his own and many great margaritas and fine wines. Gary's longtime L.A. friend (originally from Detroit) Diane Berglund, and her husband Marshall also came by. Diane is a well-known, award-winning songwriter and performer who stunned us all a bit at first because she looks, acts and talks just like Joni! She performed around Detroit back in the Chuck Mitchell days and Gary told me that a few times the clubs there mistakenly billed her and her partner as "Jim and Joni Mitchell." Amazing. Maybe Terry M or Pat Henry have heard of her. She told us a few Chuck Mitchell stories and about her recording sessions with Joni engineer Henry Lewy at A&M in the 70s. She is a fascinating and talented person. Diane, Clark, Gary and Rick's brother and nephew tooks turns playing and singing for us after dinner. Gary has one of the most gorgeous voices I have ever heard, oh my my. Kind of like Livingston/James Taylor but stronger and better! He is doing some recording while here in LA and I wish him the best in getting out his music. This is a voice that must be heard! Tonight Gary and I got together again for the requisite 3 hour dinner at Les Deux Cafes and had a wonderful time talking about Laura Nyro (our second favorite) and everything under the sun. He has a wonderful surprise to share with the list as soon as he gets to his email again. Gary and I have often marveled how we have such similar taste in music, right down to the most obscure songs and artists from way back. We also share an abiding love for those early, unreleased Joni songs. We were talking about Joni's song "Melody in Your Name" tonight and he came up with a very neat insight into some of the lyrics and thinks the song must have been written during Joni's time in Philadelphia in '67. The second verse is "Night comes much bluer than it used to be -the pink nun sings much sadder than before..." Apparently there really is an order of nuns, the Sisters of Divine Love" in Philadelphia who wear pink habits and are known locally as the "pink sisters." Indoctrinated Catholic that I am I never heard of them before (only knew about the wine "Blue Nun" ;-) You can check out the pink nuns at this website http://www.r-jementerprises.com/philadelphia/fairmount/pink.html It was wonderful to spend some time with Gary and get together with the gang. Thanks again to Rick for his generosity of heart and hospitality. And thanks to Gary for taking the time out from his vacation to spend with us. it was a real joy. I hope to have some photos up in a few days.

My own line would be that such absolutes don't exist. But here's a poser.....because someone wins a race does that make them the fastest person in the race? Clearly not....ask Ben Johnson. On an allied theme, if Joni says she's arrogant, why should we doubt it. Does anyone here claim to know her better that herself? Mind you... on a lighter note ....is all human expression potentially art? Hear that whinneying .....it's the sound of my highhorse...whipcrack away silver...yee ha Take care bambini ( remember that bimbo thread !)

It seems to me that one of the things many people, including me, like best about our Joan is that she is always changing.... always searching for new sounds and words to put into pictures. What she did in the 80s was as exciting to me- then and now- as everything else in her discography. With most artists, it seems to me that the basic sound often stays the same for their whole career. This willingness to explore new sounds and styles is one of my reasons for thinking that Joni is above and beyond any other songwriter I've ever heard. From her first album, I was captived and amazed and impressed. As the sounds got more complex, for a while I couldn't keep up. I was not ready. I woke up in 1979 when Amelia went straight into my heart and made me listen to the rest of Hejira. Thankfully, I got it. I've never looked back. When DED came out, I was ready for it. It spoke the language of 80s music in a way that lacked the cheese. I love some of the 80's music- especially Todd Rundgren. I liked Thomas Dolby and Larry Klein. They were her fellow adventurers in another Joni exploration of available sound. At the time, I thought Joni was- as always- making bold statements. I was proud of her for speaking out about the insanity of the western world. Those things needed to be said in just that way at that time, I thought. I think every song she has ever chosen to record has it's own statement to make in that sense, in the particular Joni sort of way that we love. Each song is important in hearing all that she has to tell us from her amazing point of view. I like some songs better than others, but I truly value each song. Been listening to DJRD a lot lately. As always, Joan's music feeds me and heals me, and I am most grateful she is on the planet. greetings to everyone! I hope you are all well. all the best- Linda ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2001 10:15:40 -0600 From: scmorris Subject: Questions for the JMDLers Hi there I am a relatively new Joni fan, and have been avidly reading the jmdl newsletters for the past few weeks.

I'll have to make it a point to visit that Pink Chapel next time I'm in Philly. I remember back in the 70's I bought a bottle of Blue Nun because I thought it was the wine Joni was referring to in her song "Don't Interrupt the Sorrow" and I happened to have a taste for white wines back then. Seventeen glasses Rhine wine Milk of the Madonna Clandestine It's funny you know, my husband went to the liqueur store the other day for some beer and he brought me home a bottle of Blue Nun. Excited when I saw it, I asked him why he bought it and he explained, I remember you used to like this wine. I thought it was so sweet. Thanks for the details of your minifest Kakki.

Siquomb was a mythological character she invented in her creative writing in her younger days of fancy, and she also used it in her publishing. I believe (as do many members of the Secret Order of Mother Joni of the Holy Farfisa) that it may have a number of hidden meanings, among them: Step In Quicksand Unless Other Mud Beckons Someone Is Quietly Utilizing Our Mommy's Body Stop In Quebec Using Only Minimal Brakes Sleeping Is Quite Useless On Maui's Beaches Servants Inevitably Quit Under Oppressive Mental Breakdown Sectarians Ingest Quivering, Undulating Octopus Meat, Belching Sisters In Queensland Use Only Men's Bicycles On the other hand, this could be complete bullshit, but on to your next question: > > 4.

They were together later. Joni was with Graham Nash in 1969. "Willie" is about him, presumably some of the songs like "My Old Man" on "Blue" are about him, too. "Our House" is Nash's musical snapshot of their life together in Laurel Canyon. Joni's time with James Taylor came after that. I highly suggest that you get ahold of the 1970 BBC concert in which they perform together-it's one of the great unreleased recordings in Joni's carreer. "For The Roses" contains songs Joni wrote about her breakup with Taylor. When he was asked about it by Rolling Stone after it's release, he said something like "Yeah, Joni's music is really autobiographical". I don't know if he wrote any songs for or about her. Anybody else know? Welcome to the list, Stephanie.

In a sense, the > only way she knows how to "make a product" is to make ART first and sell > it as a product. But she decided to pursue a carreer in which appealling to a large audience is a given. And despite her image as a "pure artiste", she has expressed disappointment, even bitterness, that some of her most adventurous departures including "Mingus" were not embraced by radio and a larger public. When she talks about it now, and how she sacrificed her popularity to do it, she seems almost regretful. She seems to have the attitude that people should be following her music simply because it is Joni Mitchell. She is right, of course. If she was truly unconcerned with commerce, she might be sewing embroidered doilies and selling them at the flea market. The case could even be argued that she is turning to painting now because her recordings aren't making any money for her, while she is pulling $20k or so for her canvasses. > Of all the recordings she has done, (which may hint to Bob Muller's > dissatisfaction with BSN), BSN is probably the most "product" like of > any of her recordings.

For many on the > list, that was not enough and BSN comes off more as 'product' than art. > > While this may be the case with BSN, it is definitely NOT the case with > any of her other original productions. People on the list have accused her of bowing to commercial trends with DED and WTRF, and trying to recapture her audience by returning to her 'more traditional' sound on NRH. I guess my point is that she IS thinking of the market for her stuff when she is doing it, and that doesn't IMO diminish it's importance, she is still doing it in an artful way, and at a level above pretty much everybody else. My reservations about BSN do not concern whether it was calculated or not. I agree with Colin that she was simply in over her head. I think she could have pulled it off much better a few years ago, when her voice was stronger. With no original material to attract, you are left with the performance itself, which is, IMO, lacking. One more unconnected observation about critics: Joni has had pretty much nothing but blanket condemnation for popular music as far as I can remember...Occasionally she will admit to liking someone, Sting, Miles Davis....Like Zappa in this regard. Arrogant. > Her videos suck eggs. I think "Good Friends" is one of the best videos ever.
