He mentioned that he was working on it and tried out "For the Roses" with the forewarning that he hadn't performed it yet in front of an audience. It was very tentatively done and a couple times he asked for help from the audience on the lyrics, and completely left out the "guess I seem ungrateful" verse. He seemed relieved when he finally finished the song; it was sweet and very special to be allowed into his creative process. He did mention that he'll be using a VG-8, calling it a "VG-8 thing" and briefly explaining it means pushing a button rather than having guitars all over the stage. Very cool, Michael Paz, that you're helping him with it. The new show will be at Fez in NYC for five Saturday nights starting in mid-October. I wonder if Joni will again celebrate her birthday there. It is that time of year. I imagine that John's Paved Paradise helped to get Joni interested in performing again. There's an article on jmdl.com in which she talks about seeing his performance in 1996(?) and watching people react to her music. I got the impression that for the first time she could experience her music as her audience does, and appreciate it instead of taking it all for granted. After that she started doing individual shows, and then a tour, and all of a sudden she was visible again. I don't think his show was the only influence; her improved health and getting the VG-8 added to her being able to tour, but I was struck when reading the article that it seemed she experienced her music anew by watching his show and was inspired by that. So, thank you, John. Paved Paradise was much more of a performance piece than I expected, rather than just mimicking Joni, although there was plenty of that, as in hearing the words about "...the more out of tune voices the better" said with Joni's Canadian accent, and then everyone joined in singing the Circle Game. I was surprised at how emotional that made me, even teary-eyed, to be among so many other Joni fans. It was a brief "oh my, how time has flown" reaction too. Not only is that what the song is all about, but I was also in my old neighborhood and from the garden could almost look into the back window of my first apartment in NYC, a "cold-water flat" with the bathtub in the kitchen and $120 a month rent. I got a lot of painting done there. Back then, almost 20 years ago, there were lots of burned out and abandoned buildings, and heavy drugs being bought and sold and even used right on the streets, and the little safe-feeling garden we were all sitting in didn't exist. It feels like it was yesterday. Anyway, John Kelly went into and out of the Joni persona, which I found very interesting, and also used some goofy props like a twirling chicken and a huge sunflower-covered hat. I also liked hearing "Joni" talk about capturing love and holding onto it for a while and then it flies away. I'd never heard that story before. It was very touching. So it was an enjoyable, and complex, evening for me. I'm looking forward to seeing Shiny Hot Nights in October. In the opening scenes of the tv show "NYPD Blue" there's a brief shot of a huge wooden sculpture and I always wondered where that was. It's in that garden so that was a wonderful surprise, being able to see that close up, even though it was in the dark. Looking up toward the top of it I looked even higher and saw that the stars were visible, which is rare here. Then I got into a conversation about the stars with someone nearby holding his baby, and he pointed out Mars and an unusually bright star he said he can usually see, and then I walked over to 5th Street to see if my old building was still there. And it was, cleaned up and changed a bit but still recognizable. I'm glad I could recognize it but also glad I don't live there anymore.

Hi Sharon (raffle recruiter for Joni fest) and Ashara and everyone else who is going to the Joni fest or wants to go. I would like to support the jonifest and buy some raffle tickets. Please tell me where to send the check. I'll take $20 worth. Thank you to Big Walt in SF because before I read your post I had no idea where the alleged penis on the Hejira album was. (in her pocket) I have not read every single jonipost (I still hope to get to it) so you'll have to excuse me when I ask. . .Will some one please tell me what "siquomb" means? Ashara, the Wild Things Run Fast poster story is a good one. I am glad you got the poster!!! I have a request, if anyone is up to it. . . I was discussing with Shane how two words, when put together sound so interesting and inspiring. When a word stands alone they have their own merit, yet when another word sits beside it. . .a special constellation of sorts is created. . . Shane gave me the example of "Sea Cowboy" . . .which I like. Joni has numerous "word constellations" (how do you like that. . I just made that up?). How about sharing which of Joni's word constellations you like? Thanks to everyone who responds.

It's been treed within this group and is available on tape and CD. <> Deb gave you the tracklisting, as to when and IF it'll be released, nobody seems to know. Reprise eats worms. It's a crying shame that Joni's been so underrepresented in this department IN THE U.S. We've already seen tribute CD's from Canada, Sweden, & Holland, but not the U.S. Praise be to David Lahm for his EXCELLENT "Jazz Takes on Joni Mitchell" which I don't classify as tributes but rather re-casting Joni's songs in a jazz setting. Very nice, especially the newer one, "More Jazz Takes on JM". This should be in everyone's collection, it gets better with every listen! <> Since you added the bit about her dancing, it's obvious that it's "Painting With Words & Music". This was filmed in LA and was attended by several JMDLer's. Some great stories to be sure! <> The latest that I've heard is that it'll be a collection of her previous songs recast in an orchestral setting. Given the songs performed on her 2000 tour, these would include "Judgement Of The Moon & Stars", "Be Cool", "For The Roses", "Hejira"...I'd love to see her abandon this project and head in a different direction, but that's just my selfish opinion.

I love this CD so much...it is dark , yes, however that never bothered me either. I guess Ive always been attracted to the darker, deeper songs of hers anyway. There is comfort in melancholy after all! I can certainly understand how this CD brings on the tears, in fact, just reading that you broke into tears over the lyrics about Peg Oconnell made me cry. I relate so much to this CD because of my own personal journey out of the pit of male violence. I swear that Joni's words and music helped me on so many occasions as I crawled back to safety. She is the essential element of my survival kit. I dont have the CD on right now nor do I have the lyrics in front of me so please bear with my rambling.. I know I *should* do a better job of it however, on the fly, here are some thoughts... so many of her words on this album, for example "Let Me Speak" in Sire of Sorrow are to me a "sit up , shut up and take notice" moment. A Tawanda moment .... many of which I find in this CD. Throughout much of Turbulent Indigo, I feel that Joni is mad and not hiding it ... she cuts to the quick with her vivid words and images. I feel that she is pissed , so pissed she's wielding a gun and aiming at street lights....god that whole thing is so powerful to me. A venue for her anger. A dammit Im not doing this anymore moment. An expression of rage and bitterness and just fed up with the bullshit of being a silenced woman, stuffed in a hole indeed. just some thoughts on a sunny tuesday.

I'd love to see/hear John Kelly > - have he and Joni ever met? I'd love to hear what > she had to say about him. There's a recent article in the jmdl.com database about John Kelly. If you do a text search on his name, it's the first one that pops up. Interesting stuff in there about the East Village back then, too. Here are a few paragraphs about John and Joni: Mitchell has seen Kelly perform three times. A couple of years ago, when she turned up at Fez, an eclectic venue beneath the trendy Time Cafe, she laughed, she cried, she clapped, she sang. She would have bought the T-shirt had Kelly been selling them. "The whole place knew she was there at the back, so the electricity that night was palpable. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. My hands were shaking. It was very trippy and very difficult and, ultimately, a great success." Mitchell was full of admiration and encouragement for Kelly, giving him a dulcimer that he now uses on A Case Of You. - ---------- During the show he talked about the TNT Tribute, saying he had not been invited to perform there (and had been doing a show then on Broadway), but was asked to do some of Paved Paradise at the party held afterwards at the China Club. He said no one was listening to him and that it was hard to keep going when people were so scattered and noisy, and then he looked up and saw Joni and Goldie Hawn standing four feet in front of him. He had the dulcimer Joni had given him years before and at the party she signed the back of it with a "Joni loves John" inside a big heart. He held it up so we could see. It was big and in black marker and there were lots of Joni swirls in it. All of us in the audience "aahhhh"ed. It was sweet.

In his note he explained that they were hoping to get Joni to quit smoking, so they had these matchbooks with the TI cover printed on them. The book he sent me is missing some matches, and he told me that they were used by Joni. Needless to say it's one of the favorite things I have in my modest collection. As for his performance, I've never seen him but would like to, for sure.

So Blue (On board the Ocean Limited near Montreal, March 1976. With apologies to the L.A. Express, Tom Scott and Joni Mitchell) I saw her cold in the morning light as we roared through the rain Swaying softly to the ever-pounding steel Drunk upon a night of train...the club car's gonna take her again And I'm glad to just be on my own The Ocean's gonna take me home, so hungry, so alone, and so blue. Somewhere back behind the darkness lies The City on the Sea Gone already with a sleep stuck in between I left so much behind to grow. So much, too soon, but even so... She sways along the aisle again Crazy woman, dancing on a train, so hungry, so alone, and so blue. Cranky people do their morning jerks and the coffee bar has only tea And somewhere up ahead beyond the day, there's a lady keeping warm for me She's a mighty hand inside a silken glove I've known it a while, and I can't get enough I want to listen to Joni Mitchell on the radio And make love.... A crazy lady on a daylight train is dancing for free But everybody here just watches trees go by She knows a bit of what this train can feel. Swaying spirit of the moving steel She reminds me of what I'm going to. And even with the thought of you I'm still so hungry. So alone. And so blue.

Well, I don't know if Joni is booked to do the show, but Sandra mentioned her more than once in conversation during last night's debut. Once in reference to the fact that the viewer is getting great entertainment on A&E "As Joni Mitchell said it, For Free." She later said she'd taken a Hejira to Europe recently. Then during the interview with Chrissie Hynde, they brought up Joni as one of the few guitarists who is "as good as the guys." Chrissie said Joni was an inspiration, and Sandra professed her love of Joni once again. Personally, I'd love to see Joni do that show, as long as she doesn't have to sing a duet with Sandra, who IMHO, hits as many sour notes as not.

Buffington" Hello Marianne: Thank you so much for your very generous offer to support Jonifest by buying raffle tickets. I became the raffle princess because I wanted to help our sweet and generous Ashara lighten her load a bit. But I sorta fucked it up. I am really nervous to tell all of you this but ...when I announced the raffle, I should have sent it to the Yahoo site where those attending the fest receive messages. Instead, I sent the raffle notice to festers AND non-festers. The raffle idea did not take on a life of its own until very close to the fest and by then there was no time to really organize it except for fest goers. More importantly, Ashara would have to take care of all the checks and then mail prizes out if a non-fester won the prize and that woman has toooooo much to do already. So this year the Raffle is limited to festers. BUT If you and any others send checks to Jim Johanson for $10.00 or more, you are guaranteed to be sent a very special gift in the giveaway. (Ashara swears it is soooo fabulous). Not only are you guaranteed a nice gift but you help keep this site up and running. None of us want to lose this site and it costs money for Jim to do this for all of us. So if you could see it in your hearts to make out those checks directly to Jim and mail them to Ashara it would be a most gracious thing to do. So Marianne...art chef... Please accept my apologies for getting things confused. You know, you try to get a lawyer to do things and we just fuck things up. LOL But I hope you will send your hard earned money to Jim. After all, the raffle money was going to be donated to Jim for our site anyway.

(JMDL) The tv special that you mentioned was on the TNT cable network and was entitled, appropriately, "TNT All-Star Tribute To Joni Mitchell". It's available as a stereo VHS dub, free. (Write off list for details.) Shawn Colvin was singing with Mary Chapin Carpenter. Colvin just had another baby so she's not gay. Shawn did seem to enjoy Mary Chapin's company on stage that night though. ANYWAY!! Don't know what small show in LA you're referring to although I'm guessing the Gene Autry Theater one, but I thought that was in NYC? If she told a story about being a cowgirl while the boys were Roy Rogers, it was the Autrey show. There's an audience audio-only of this show. Or maybe you caught the CBC's Much Music appearance, which was a small show in downtown Toronto? If the backdrop was a cornfield, and Joni was drinking saki, it was the Much Music show. This show was built for television so it seems more likely that you saw this show. There is a wonderful, complete, widely circulated (for free) video for this performance. Write again. Lamadoo ps- the jmdl site is the place to go for tons and tons o' interviews and a blindingly fast lyric searching facility. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 00:06:28 -0400 From: "jlamadoo, home account" Subject: Joni content Hey there Marianne, I'll play but mine are both 5 words. Right now I'm thinking, "Dogs and tugs and summertime." and instead of the old crowd pleaser, "Javex bottles on the tide", she recently sang, "Plastic crap on the tide" Marinne said, >>>> I have a request, if anyone is up to it. . . I was discussing with Shane how two words, when put together sound so interesting and inspiring. When a word stands alone they have their own merit, yet when another word sits beside it. . .a special constellation of sorts is created. . . Shane gave me the example of "Sea Cowboy" . . .which I like. Joni has numerous "word constellations" (how do you like that. . I just made that up?).
