She has never sounded more lovely than on these songs...the music is perfection, it whirrs and plinks along like an alien band, and it all comes together very nicely. Go buy this record! It is a much happier record than her others, and a warmth filters through that it very nice. Laurie Anderson's "Life On A String" is also a keeper. Her voice gets better and better IMHO, and the sometimes overbearing irony that doesn't always work for LA is at a minimum. Very spare and intimate. Buy this one, too!

While the 2001 Jonifest may be history, the JMDL "Covers" project is anything but! With a new month comes another announcement of more renditions of Joni's songs; the wonderful, the weird, the rare and all the rest. Here's what rests on this month's "edition": 1. John Otway - Woodstock: Why does Woodstock get the strangest treatments? This one was donated by the goofy Mr. Otway himself, and is a funny schizophrenic version. When he says "I don't know who I am"...he means it! 2. The Robert Miller Group - The Dry Cleaner From Des Moines: Very nice sultry slowed-down take, with vocals from Lisa Yves, who gave us a couple with her jazz kids a couple of CD's ago. 3. Green Lyte Sunday - Chelsea Morning: This is a rare and sought-after record. Green Lyte Sunday was most of The Cyrcle (Red Rubber Ball) + Susan Darby. Nice flute solo too...could it be Victor? :~) 4. Charlie Starr - For Free: A slowed-down country-rock sorta version, this one sounds a lot like the Crosby-Nash version. 5. Jimmie Rodgers - Both Sides Now: I've always been a sucker for Jimmie Rodgers, with his big hits like "Honeycomb" and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine". 6. Harry Belafonte - The Circle Game: While I was digging Jimmie, my MOM loved Harry. I bet if I heard his classic "Carnegie Hall" LP once, I heard it a million times. And that's cool, because his soft vocals always rest easy on the ear. Day-O!! Day-ay-ay-O! 7. Bridget St. John - Night In The City: I don't know much about her, this sounds like an early folk version, with an interesting rythym to it. 8. Hot Hits 3 - Woodstock: Not much to say about this one, they're one of those ripoff bands that just tried as hard as they could to sound like Matthews Southern Comfort. 9. The Don Costa Concept - Both Sides Now: What's the concept anyway? To bore me to tears? :~) 10. Noel Harrison - Nathan La Franeer: Here's a unique one...the ONLY cover of "Nathan" that I'm aware of, this one's a very sweet-sounding cover sung by Noel in a nice Brit accent. 11. Seanachie - Urge For Going: This one's also hard to find, and is a real knockout! A very genuine celtic band, with Annie Ross on bagpipes. This one's definitely a keeper...(and the pronounciation is "Shawn-a-key", not "C-natchie"! 12. Des & Dawn - The Circle Game: South Africa's answer to Ian & Sylvia, they pretty much patterned their version of CG after Ian & Sylvia's. 13. Heaven's Gate - This Flight Tonight: STAR BRIGHT!! These speed-metal boys do some viscious head-banging on this "heavy metal" classic. 14. Prince - A Case Of You: Prince's infatuation with Joni is no secret. He's done ACOY live a couple of times, here's a nice version from his '83 tour. Unfortunately, he doesn't do the entire song from start to finish, but this "excerpt" is pretty good! 15. Michael Chapdelaine - Both Sides Now: A very pretty acoustic version, this one makes me feel like a "Sunday-morning-cup-of-coffee" kinda feeling. Nice. 16. Lydia van Dam - Be Cool: Now that John van Tiel played HIS Lydia song for me, I've definitely seen Lydia from both sides now! Like all the other songs on her tribute CD, this version smokes. Just Lydia's great jazz vocal & an upright bass. 17. Terry Roberts - Got The Urge For Going: Terry is/was a Canadian country singer, his version of UFG is almost carbon-copy of George Hamilton IV's. But I love this song anyway, so I like it. 18. Foggy Dew-O - Born To Take The Highway: This one's a LOT of fun, because it's the only FORMAL recording of this song I know of. Seems that the Foggy Dew-O were given a demo tape that a record producer had, and told to pick some songs to do. They did this one as well as... 19. Foggy Dew-O - Both Sides Now: How could they resist? I just wish I had that demo tape! :~) 20. Karen Oberlin - Barangrill: Ending this volume with an excellent song from Karen's 2000 release titled "My Standards". Great stuff, glad to see this underappreciated song get brought back to the forefront. So that's it for #21...I guess now that we've reached 21, the project is old enough to drink & vote! As always, I couldn't have done it without helpers, so thanks to: John Otway Philip in Ireland Ron Greer Monica Jeff Hankins Stephen Elliott Coming up next...the contest madness continues...

The fact that it actually is possible to exist on bad motel coffee, vodka, and no sleep for quite an extended period of time. 2. Massachusetts being a parallel universe in which I could not read a map, but a person from New Zealand could. 3. There being more Dunkin Donuts per square mile than bars in Wisconsin. 4. Uncontrollable laughing fits. 5. The ENORMOUS number of talented musicians who mesmerized me, one by one... 6. Ashara's cat being offended after she was called a "chapstick lesbian." 7. The generosity of everyone's spirit. 8. Coming home with a backpack full of CD's, and other wonderful stuff. (Including honey that no one gave Sharon's bees credit for.) 9. Kiwi hugs. 10.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself from the moment we pulled up to Asharas house and heard the music wafting out of every screen covered opening, until the very last wee-hour moments around the candle in the den. I cut my teeth on Dylan and his ilk  Joni was peripheral in my cosmos (although I like River a lot) - but after this weekend, Im certainly a fan of her fans. I didnt get a chance to talk to enough of you, or enough to any of you, but if Kate lets me come next time I hope to do better. Thanks to all who let me blow some harp with their music, like I gave you a choice. Good people, good food, good music  lots of each  how cool is that? I cant remember 4 days better spent out of bed. Thanks and love to you all.

I saw a very moving documentary on the Ovation channel the other night called, "Music In the Line of Fire." An English musician, a lute player, took his instrument to the Middle East and spoke to musicians on either side of the line. Palestinians, as well as Jews play a very similar instrument and with this in common, the Englishman allowed us to glimpse at the sadness which encompasses both peoples concerning their land. Both peoples have a love for their land such as I have never seen and from a musical standpoint, both had more in common than one would think. I was saddened by the fact that there was such separation of those who had such an equal love for the music. My thoughts were that if the two opposing sides could just come together from a musical standpoint, maybe it would be the beginning of peace. As I thought further, I realized too, that this could never happen. The songs that each sing stem from a love of a nation and of a people beyond what most of us Westerners could understand. But for a moment, I saw a brief connection between the two. The love of music flowed freely back and forth between the boundaries courtesy of the editing room...and then the show was over.

Why can't we be surrounded by great musicians and adorable people like at Jonifest, all the time! I'd like to add my own favorites to the many fond remembrances. Music I heard: Anne Sandstrom playing Greg Brown's "Rooty-Toot-Toot for the Moon" on the back deck Russ' wicked honky-tonk, and Stephanie's lovely classical piano playing Steve Politka's aching rendition of "Two Grey Rooms" Anything played by Greg or Claudia My lovely wife Leslie singing "Way Over Yonder", with Paz on keyboards Church sets by Wally K, Willy the Shake and Kay special mention to Paz and Victor, for the "Thick as a Brick" excerpt at Atty's - cats are on the upgrade! >From my own playing: Bluegrass, Irish tunes and that Turkish belly-dance number, with Les and Claudia in Ashara's kitchen...playing with Kate, Jeff and Victor in the sun room..playing with Marcel, Ms. Mixon and the Jonifest Jugband at the church..and of course "The Weight" with the Joni wig and everybody else nonmusical moments: John van Tiel reaching down to give Nikki a hug, and lifting her about 2 ft off the ground Maggie's remembrances of hanging out with Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir in a lounge somewhere, complete with bad lounge act Victor informing me and Ms. Mixon that he'd bugged our conversation at the Tealuxe Cafe in Boston - that is so weird!

You are in so much horsepuckey! If I remember correctly, it was a joint effort that we "shared." Joni had a friend, unbeknownst to us, that was reading the JMDL on her behalf. Joni, at the time, was very Internet shy. She wanted nothing to do with computers. Kilauren had just found Joni, her mother, and it was discovered that Wally, the originator of the Joni Mitchell site, (now deceased) in conjunction with the JMDL site, assisted Kilauren in finding her mother. It was a very joyful time for all of us, a dream come true, so to speak. Also, Joni had not toured for many years and did not seem inclined to do so. We used to talk about her ever touring again as a fleeting dream that we could barely hope for. It was a theme that kept us close and together as a group. We dreamed together about her playing live. Somehow, that made it real for us. It made the possibility a little "closer to earth." Back then, that possibility was in the stratosphere! Anyway, our hearts were so full of longing and love for Joni and her music. Writing to the JMDL was like writing letters to the recipient of unrequited love. We hoped against hope that we would somehow be heard. The news of Kilauren was like new life to us. We felt as if she were our child as well. So one night, Lamadoo drafted a letter to Kilauren and sent it to the group in hopes that she would see it. We knew that Kilauren had been surfing our site. I was so touched by his effort that I asked him if I could send a letter too. All I can remember at this point is trying to communicate to her how deeply her mother's music affected me as well as the other JMDL list members, and how honest she has always been with her music. We tried to show Kilauren what a special mother she had. Joni's friend found the letters, printed them off, and showed them to Joni. They touched her deeply because she had just found her daughter and it was a very emotional time for her. Her friend sent word through Les that Joni appreciated our feelings towards her and Kilauren. It was Lamadoo's (do we ever use your first name anymore?) tug of the heart strings to start the letters to Kilauren. I was so touched by his gesture, that I wanted to pour out my heart as well. We had no idea that someone close to Joni was reading them as well. There were a lot of wonderful and kind words spoken at that time by all the members of the JMDL that I am sure Joni was able to look at as well. Back then, because she did not tour, that was the closest we could get to her. Now, so many of our JMDL'ers have met her, talked to her and gotten the chance to see her perform live. I have not had that opportunity, but I am not sad about it. They say that everything happens for a reason. My moment of beauty came through communication with her friend. If I never see her play live, this will be enough for me. To know that I touched her heart the way she touches mine with her music...it is the greatest gift I could ever receive. My memory is a little vague Lamaman, so fill in the blank spots please! Love, Sherelle PS... Pat Metheny's solo on Shadows and Light-Amelia makes your heart ache and your toes curl it is so good!
