In the program it read: "Joni Anderson - Joni is a relatively new performer on the local folk music scene. She began her singing career in 1964 with an appearance at The Depression in Calgary and The Yardbird Suite in Edmonton. After gaining acceptance in Western Canada, Joni decided to move east and seek her fortune in Toronto. Since her arrival last fall, she has enjoyed performances at several coffee houses--The Bohemian Embassy, The New Gate of Cleve, and the Underground, to name a few. Joni is also noted for playing the tipple--an eight-string instrument slightly larger than the ukelele."

I really appreciate it. I'd always imagined the place as a desolate prairie wasteland outpost (mainly because so many of the U.S. military bases have traditionally been in the "outback" down here in the states). But, no, Fort MacLeod has character, history, color and beauty. And I'm happy to hear that Joni's father played a very important role there during the war. Of course, that "Chinese Cafe" caught my eye, too - but I wonder if it is the same as in the song? It always seemed like Joni was talking about a place she hung out at with her friends as a young adult - maybe in Saskatoon or in college in Alberta. Who knows, though, maybe it is some kind of reference to the cafe in Fort MacLeod. Please keep sending in the details - I love reading them.

Hi y'all MGVal@aol.com wrote about the song How Do You Stop in response to Nuriel's question. Aye, there's the rub..its' not Joni's song in the sense that she penned neither words nor lyrics. It was written by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight. Clearly Joni thought the song had resonnances with her life but I do feel there's a lesson there for us all in terms of looking too hard for references where they don't exist. I mean ....did anyone notice that if you play the album 'Court and Spark' backwards, it spells out step by step Joni's manifesto for devil worship. I follow it religiously. Going back in my coffin...it's way too light outside....yes Mistress Mitchell I will create a Church of Joni...eventually. I will use better tactics next time..creak..c'thud!

Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients, but wait until it begins to cool for the chocolate/carob chips, or they will melt! Press into a lightly oiled pie pan, refrigerate, cut into squares, baby you will care! This is a delicious snack that can easily be made vegan, has no white sugar, and comes out like a Snickers bar. Also try substituting almond, cashew, sunflower butter etc. for the peanut butter. + + + + + + + + Marian marian@jmdl.com http://www.jmdl.com/guitar/marian/guitar.htm ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2001 08:08:06 -0400 From: Jerry Notaro Subject: Re: jmdl cookbook question I have the cookbook electronically and can send a copy in an attached message.

I hadn't noticed its absence in the other versions I'd heard (James Brown, Hanne Boel, Christine Sullivan), but I'd be REAL surprised if those lyrics were Joni's concept...after all, they're not very good. How do you stop the ripening corn? Joni grew up in farm country, and I'm sure she saw a lot of cornfields go south due to drought, flood, etc. Anyway, I could be wrong, and if it's so then Nuriel makes a very interesting point! Maybe Joni was frustrated with the inability to get in touch with Kilauren at the time and the additional lyric was just her way of expressing it.

And you know, I think that it has less to do with a "Little Green" than with the maturing understanding that, as wonderful as love feels, it comes with responsibilities. Remember that 70's song, "If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right," (ohmigod, now I am going to have that tune stuck in my head all week!)? With the roots of "free love" and then today's me centered pop psychology, people forget that love comes with responsibilties. They get stuck in the "this was meant to be!" and make a beeline for those heady clouds. Again, at 42 years old, I am now very certain that love is not free. Sometimes it is responsibility to yourself, to make sure that your relationship is nurturing to your heart and soul as well as to your partner. Sometimes it is a responsibility to your children, to make sure that you are setting a good example of approrpriate relationships. Sometimes it is responsibility to others, to not go down paths that wreck havoc on families or individuals. Sometimes it is as simple as having reliable birth control. And sometimes it means that the love just exists and you simply cannot act upon it.

Any Radiohead fans should give these guys a try. I must say that as much as I love Thom Yorke, the lead singer of TB does a more graceful turn with his falsetto (Check out "Mind Over Money".) Here's a list-relevant aside - they have a nice little mention of Joni on their web site. Go to http://www.turinbrakes.com/ and then select "Notes" and 09.07.01. > > > Train - Drops Of Jupiter (massive, or so we are told, in the US of late, > it's nothing new but still a very pleasing collection of soft-rock with > occasional rusitc touches, as on the gorgeous Mississippi). I agree; it is very derivative and not my particular cup of tea. It has sold platinum and has been in the top 20 since the release in April which is massive considering what the rest of the top 20 looks like these days.

I love his version (it is the only one I have heard!) I just heard some current Bowie. If he covers this song in concert, it should be retitled 'Mild Is The Mind'. - -jan ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2001 #240 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
