R. Mills" Subject: Re: SJC - response to Shorter in London & tribute to Heroes Thanks for posting this report and catching that Joni info, Heather. No, Mitchell didn't perform on the "Tribute to Heros" program. I can only presume from the Blade bio that Joni has decided to call her forthcoming album _Hero_ rather than the working title a jmdler kindly made us aware of earlier, _Swan Song_. But that's just my guess, maybe Kakki or Stephen can shed some light on this based on their conversation with her. Interesting. - -Julius >Since I didn't see the > Tribute to Hero's celebrity special .... did Joni perform?

They're both superb, and his second CD, Perceptual, features a Joni vocal that is haunting and NOT to be missed. Wonderful production throughout and solos that never noodle but remain interesting. Brian plays the drums like no one I've ever heard before, finding sub-rhythms within rhythms, but never losing the beat. And rather than overpowering, he drives the rhythm in a very subtle way. I guess he's the best and that's why he's working with Joni! :~) Bob NP: Dan Hicks, "Lonely Madman" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 07 Oct 2001 18:34:28 +0100 From: colin Subject: Entertaining Joni Joni si coming to vist. DShe will arrive at 10 am and leave at 10pm prompt. You must keep her amused for that time. What will you do? There is only one rule: you cannot take her out. Her rule: you can't bring that untrtained badly behaved mutt with you! When she arrives, i will have Carly in the cd changer-might give her some inspiration. I will cook her an English breakfast-fried eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomato(tomarto), heinz baked beans and fried bread. I will then show her my knitting room and how I do my designs. Later she can play with the dogs and I will bring out all their photo's, even those of dogs long dead, their wins, their cutsy ways, their baby pictures etc. That will be my payback for Mingus. After that, I will show her the printed out messages from the JMDL. not all of them of course, just those about DED and her 80's hair and the men in her life. For dinner, she will have my home made bumburner with chicken or lamb and all the real spices etc that Indians use-none of that 'curry powder' rubbish. Then we will settle down to watch Carly Live At Grand Central. When she has come down from that, I'll put on Lily Savage-Paying The Rent for her to watch. Lily always has a fag in her mouth so Joni will be pleased. Then I will give her a hug, a complimetary Carly cd, and wish her well and express the hope she will make use of the inspiration provided and make a new album. I am sure she will have a day she wouldn't forget. So, how would you make Joni's day? - -- bw colin DAK,BRO GC, 950i 940,860,864, 260, 890,Silver 830 and 270, Passap 6000 Duo80 colin@tantra-apso.com http://www.tantra-apso.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Oct 2001 13:26:11 EDT From: IVPAUL42@aol.com Subject: Re: Entertaining Joni In a message dated 10/7/01 1:23:55 PM Eastern Daylight Time, colin@tantra-apso.com writes: > When she arrives, i will have Carly in the cd changer-might give her > some inspiration. > > Inspiration or insult?

It's also a favourite meeting place for JMDLers and, in fact, Azeem and I have already discussed the possibility of her showing up there. I guess we could hang out there every night in November! Air Studios sounds like a good tip too - Thanks Rik, Jacky ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Oct 2001 13:36:44 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Joni Tribute in Santa Barbara This has been in the works for sometime now but I wanted to let you all know about it in case anyone is in the neighborhood & would like to attend. I was inspired by all of you to organize this show. I know so many talented songwriters in this town & everyone is so excited to be part of this event. There are about 15 local songwriters performing, everyone doing one or two of their favorite Joni songs. It promises to be a magical evening. How can it not be, given her material? And SOhO is the premier music club in Santa Barbara. It is her birthday too. Here are the details: Santa Barbara Songwriters' Tribute to Joni Mitchell Wednesday, November 7 @7:30 SOhO Restaurant & Music Club 1221 State St. Santa Barbara CA 805-962-7776 http://www.sohosb.com Dinner reservations are highly recommended to get a good seat $5 Proceeds will go to the Red Cross ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Oct 2001 13:37:06 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Subject: SJC - response to Shorter in London & tribute to Heroes Heather, that sounds like an incredible evening. I am pretty sure The Teatro in Oxnard is Lanois studio. I was told it was the cover of a recent Willy Nelson album. We drive by it all the time coming back from LA. >>This self-titled album was produced by Daniel Lanois, who was also a guest on the album playing mando-guitar and Fender Mustang guitar; Mark Howard recorded and mixed at The Teatro in Oxnard, California.<<< ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 07 Oct 2001 22:01:52 -0400 From: Vince Lavieri Subject: from the Dalai Lama From the Dalai Lama, dated 9-11-01, and timely today as it was on that day > Dear friends around the world: > The events of this day cause every thinking person to stop their daily lives, whatever is going on in them, and to ponder deeply the larger questions of life. We search again for not only the meaning of life, but the purpose of our individual and collective experience as we have created it -- and we look earnestly for ways in which we might recreate ourselves as a human species, so that we will never treat each other this way again. > The hour has come for us to demonstrate at the highest level our most extraordinary thought about Who We Really Are. There are two possible responses to what has occurred today. The first comes from love, the second from fear. > If we come from fear we may panic and do things -- as individuals and as nations -- that could only cause further damage. If we come from love we will find refuge and strength, even as we provide it to others. > This is the moment of your ministry. This is the time of teaching. What you teach at this time, through your every word and action right now, will remain as indelible lessons in the hearts and minds of those whose lives you touch, both now, and for years to come. > We will set the course for tomorrow, today. At this hour. In this moment. Let us seek not to pinpoint blame, but to pinpoint cause. Unless we take this time to look at the cause of our experience, we will never remove ourselves from the experiences it creates. Instead, we will forever live in fear of retribution from those within the human family who feel aggrieved, and, likewise, seek retribution from them. > To us [Buddhist thinkers] the reasons are clear. We have not learned the most basic human lessons. We have not remembered the most basic human truths. We have not understood the most basic spiritual wisdom. In short, we have not been listening to God, and because we have not, we watch ourselves do ungodly things. > The message we hear from all sources of truth is clear: We are all one. That is a message the human race has largely ignored. Forgetting this truth is the only cause of hatred and war, and the way to remember is simple: Love, [in] this and every moment. > If we could love even those who have attacked us, and seek to understand why they have done so, what then would be our response? Yet if we meet negativity with negativity, rage with rage, attack with attack, what then will be the outcome? > These are the questions that are placed before the human race today. They are questions that we have failed to answer for thousands of years. Failure to answer them now could eliminate the need to answer them at all. > If we want the beauty of the world that we have co-created to be experienced by our children and our children's children, we will have to become spiritual activists right here, right now, and cause that to happen. We must choose to be a cause in the matter. > So, talk with God today. Ask God for help, for counsel and advice, for insight and for strength and for inner peace and for deep wisdom. Ask God on this day to show us how to show up in the world in a way that will cause the world itself to change. And join all those people around the world who are praying right now, adding your Light to the Light that dispels all fear. > That is the challenge that is placed before every thinking person today. Today the human soul asks the question: What can I do to preserve the beauty and the wonder of our world and to eliminate the anger and hatred - -- and the disparity that inevitably causes it -- in that part of the world which I touch? > Please seek to answer that question today, with all the magnificence that is You. What can you do TODAY ... [at] this very moment? A central teaching in most spiritual traditions is: What you wish to experience, provide for another. > Look to see, now, what it is you wish to experience -- in your own life, and in the world. Then see if there is another for whom you may be the source of that. If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. If you wish to know that you are safe, cause [others] to know that they are safe. > If you wish to better understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to better understand. > If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another. > Those others are waiting for you now. They are looking to you for guidance, for help, for courage, for strength, for understanding, and for assurance at this hour. Most of all, they are looking to you for love. > My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. > Dalai Lama ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 07 Oct 2001 22:11:50 -0400 From: Vince Lavieri Subject: I forgot - sorry - I forgot to put NJC on the last post and am very sorry. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Oct 2001 22:17:26 -0500 From: "Dolphie Bush" Subject: turbulent indigo Sitting here in oblivion. On vacation but funds are short and since humanity and civilization are so far away, filling the day with those things that we solitary souls do. The darkness encompasses my little house and the only sounds that can be heard is the whirr of the fan above my head and the coyotes across the road; yip, yip,yip, they say. Put a 100 watt bulb into the light above and brightened the room. Decided to listen to turbulent indigo, an album that I bought when it came out and didn't initially care for. Trying to get a grip on it and what Joni is trying to tell me here but haven't done so yet. Her voice seems older and huskier and more full than on some of the other albums but the music is so nice and I find myself enjoying the way that she sounds here. The grandest thing about dear Joni is that I can look across the room at nothing more than the wall where the leaking room has made a stain on the wall and think of nothing more than nothing and it soothes me. She soothes me. Oh, to be here, there for all time.
