Don't tell my grandmother, but I remember little of the story except that Christ, when he passed under the tree, stopped and looked up and said "Zachaeus, you come down". I think they went out to lunch then and Zachaeus expressed doubts about the whole save- the- world bit, and that Zachaeus, whose name I probably misspell here wasn't really considered fit lunch company for the son of God, was a tax collector... but then I may be confused with Nicodemus there, another song, another story. The Joni song always makes me remember bible camp and Sunday school. There were hand gestures to go along with the song and we all shook our pointer fingers in the air and looked stern and stamped our feet three times for the "you come down". I don't even have a Bible tonight to look the thing up. And while I'm mentioning grandmothers, I noticed in my hometown paper over Christmas an article about the restoration of a little schoolhouse in a little place called Coe Hill in Ontario, here. Apparently Joni's grandmother attended school there, and there's a photo of her and a bit of a shrine to Joan. That's about thirty miles of mainly dirt (snow) road from where I am tonight and I'm not likely to get there soon. Anybody know anything about this lady? Anyway, a belated best new year to all. greenstudio, up a sycamore, looking through the leaves.... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2002 10:06:27 +0100 From: M.Russell@iaea.org Subject: request for lyrics Lately, almost every time I sit down with an instrument something new happens - melodies and chord progressions just come to me out of the blue - and I've got so much stuff now that I'm having trouble keeping track of it all! Unfortunately, I haven't had the same luck with words, so I'm wondering if there are any poetic JMDLers out there who would be willing to let me attempt to set their words to music. I can't promise that something musical will happen, but I will try. If you are interested in collaborating with me, please reply privately to: marian@jmdl.com Marian Vienna P.S.

I've been reading a book lately by Salley Vickers, "Miss Garnet's Angel"; it's about the story of a middle aged English woman who retires in Venice, where her life will have a new start. It's also about the Biblical story of Toby and the Archangel Raphael. At some point in the book we're told about the "Good religion" of Zarathustra: "we have to be vigilant against the things which conspire against the life force - anger, brutality and dishonesty." These words immediately made me think of "The three great stimulants" lyrics. I'm sure there's something here: Joni's frequent allusions to Biblical stories, her admiration for Nietzsche (reference to his Zarathustra book), the three things which conspire against life force... Just thought that anyone might volunteer to make some order in my random thoughts.

I'm sure there's something here: Joni's frequent allusions to > Biblical stories, her admiration for Nietzsche (reference to his Zarathustra > book), the three things which conspire against life force... What a great quote, and what synchronically! This song has been much on my mind lately, especially after a recent listening to the version of the TGS from the Rock Master Class recording (thanks as always, to Mr. Muller). Seems likely enough that this is an idea she may have adapted from Nietzsche, but its been rolling around in my brain that Joni may have pinched "artifice, brutality and innocence" from Carl Jung. Or at least "brutality and innocence"--artifice may be JM's addition. (Or maybe it all sprang from her head independently . . .) In any case, I have this vague notion from reading some Jung long ago that he made a point similar to that in the TGS--that "the exhausted " or unhealthy ones tend to retreat into a faux innocence or become brutal in their dealings with other humans. Of course there is Jung's familiar quote that "sentimentality is a superstructure erected upon brutality" but I think he was much more explicit about the connection between brutality and innocence. I've been meaning to research this a bit-- I've put "re-read Jung" on my to-do list, but somehow haven't quite gotten to that yet. Perhaps there is a Jungian jmdler who can illuminate this more. Anyway--thanks for sharing that quote--wonder if this is a point of commonality between Nietzsche and Jung? I'll add my request for a learned volunteer to step forward. Regards, Catherine T.

This too, is a story/song that has particularly stuck with me from Sunday School/Bible School (the dreaded VBS...there were always shrieks of "nooooooo" every June at our house). Something about "Zacheus was a wee little man..." and I remember the pointing and stomping. "Passion Play" is one of Joni's great later songs, IMHO, and I think she conveys the story much more eloquently this time around. Who ya gonna get?

My sister and I made up a parody-we used to sing "Help me, I think I'm drowning, blub blub blub blub", the 'blub' being the sound of bubbles in water made by a drowning person.

Close up shots reveal the tension in her face and body. She tries to keep the music going but is unable to and stops playing. She addresses the crowd. "Listen a minute, will ya? WILL YA LISTEN A MINUTE! Now listen. A lot of people who get up and sing . I know it's fun, you know, it's a lot of fun, it's fun for me, I get my feelings off through my music but listen, you've got your life wrapped up in it and it's very difficult to come up here and lay something down when people. it's like, last Sunday I went to a Hopi ceremonial dance in the desert and there were a lot of people there and there were tourists and there were tourists who were getting into it like Indians and Indians who were getting into it like tourists.

I was an innocent 18 year old at the Isle of Wight in 1970. I don't remember helicopters. What I do remember was that there were lots of people on the hill (known as "Desolation Row") overlooking the festival site. They wanted the festival to become "Free" and I think they'd tried to break down the fences a bit earlier. The organisers, and those who'd paid for their tickets, didn't like the fact that these guys weren't prepared to pay their three quid (about $5) but were happy to share the music. There had been growing tension over the previous hours. I think Joni's comments came as she started her set and were aimed at what had been happening and not at the way people were treating her personally. I do remember being moved by what Joni had to say. It still makes the hairs on my neck stand up when I listen to the recording. Incidentally, a few hours earlier I'd been given a press pass by a hack who was leaving early. This got me between the two security fences. The real advantage to me was not the superstars that I could meet, but the chance to buy food without queuing for an hour. I got myself some fish and chips then turned round to see... Joni. I gave her a chip - don't remember if I offered or she asked. I still tell the "Joni ate my chips" story to anyone who'll listen - and you're the latest :o) Happy New Year Phil (in England) - -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Notaro [mailto:notaro@bayflash.stpt.usf.edu] Sent: 07 January 2002 19:14 PM To: WARREN901@aol.com Cc: joni@smoe.org Subject: Re: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING...

Hi, guys, I know what chords mean only in terms of the piano (i.e., if someone asks me to play a Dm7 on the piano, I can do it pretty much without thinking), but what does an "open" tuning on a guitar mean? It seems to mean more than just "non-standard" -- if so, is there more than one "closed" way of tuning? If someone says, e.g., "open D' tuning", does it mean you tune the strings to play only, say D, F#, A and their octaves? Also, what does a "modal" tuning mean? Thanks for your patience; it's just that although I sorta play the piano, I've always been mystified by the guitar -- maybe because I think too linearly. A friend wayyyyyy back in college (around '74) showed me how to play three chords (D, A7 and G, I think) so I could strum along with "Carey", but I had a strong feeling I'd never develop the intuitional ease with guitar that I had with the piano -- admittedly, I didn't try very hard. On another topic -- I recently recived my copy of "Joni Mitchell anthology", and I was wondering: Who chooses the songs for these things?! Some of the choices were obvious -- they were the songs that "everyone knows" (Chelsea Morning, Both Sides Now yadayadayada) -- but WHY would they put only one song from FTR (!!!!) and one from Hejira (!!!!!), while they put in three from DJRD (to my delight -- I love the album, but wasn't it less popular than Hejira?) -- they skip Mingus altogether, and the anthology stops at WTRF -- and they included the title song, Chinese Cafe and Solid Love -- did they just go on the basis of the singles that were released, or what? But I'm happy enough -- it has "Jerico" (my favorite of all JMs) and "I don't Know Where I Stand" (my second favorite). Oh, one other thing (sorry, but I've been lurking for a while) -- I doubt Joni writes the arrangements for piano that shows up in the various sheet music books that come out -- but has anyone ever noticed that they occasionally contain slight errors, and that these remain uncorrected for all eternity -- once an arrangement comes out, it stays that way? (Sorry I can't be more specific -- but I remember someone long ago pointing out that there was a transcriptional error in Blonde In The Bleachers -- they were right, I'd had that itchy feeling that something sounded not quite right in the opening sequence of the song when I played it as written. And in the arrangement in the Anthology for IDKWIS, I'm pretty sure there are missing chords, or that the arrangement is way oversimplified...) When oh when will the two volume set of "all" of her songs come out that I've heard rumors about?

After a while, Maurice looks at Isaac and says, "I can't help but think, from listening to you, that you're from Israel." Isaac responds proudly, "I am!" Maurice says, "So am I! And where might you be from?" Isaac answers, "I'm from Jerusalem." Maurice responds, "So am I! And where did you live?" Isaac says, "A lovely little area two miles east of King David's Hotel. Not too far from the old city" Maurice says, "Unbelievable! What school did you attend?" Isaac answers, "Well, I attended Yeshiva University." Maurice gets really excited, and says, "And so did I. Tell me, what year did you graduate?" Isaac answers, "I graduated in 1984." Maurice exclaims, "Amazing! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same bar tonight! Can you believe it, I graduated from Yeshiva University in 1984 also!" About this time, Fred enters the bar, sits down, and orders a beer. The bartender walks over to him shaking his head & mutters, "It's going to be a long night tonight, the Goldberg twins are drunk again."

Accompanying him this visit will be our no. 1 party girl Alison from SLC (celebrating her birthday) and our sly wit and literature laureate of Marin County, Julius. Some of us will be getting together near NAMM in Anaheim for various events on Friday, Jan. 18 and Sat., Jan. 19th. On Sunday, Jan. 20th our wonderful Coyote Rick is hosting a dinner and music jam for the gang. Any SoCal or visiting JMDL'ers are invited to join us in the fun and can contact Paz or me for more details.
