Then I had to wait 15 years to see her in Chicago in '98. I treked to NYC in '99 to see her at the Joni Tribute in Central Park. (No matter what anyone says about that show, Chaka Khan and Joni were worth it!) Then in 2000, I was graced with the honor of being the official JMHP photographer in Chicago for the BSN Tour. In 2001 I went to TORONTO! to see the unveiling of her star on the walk of fame, and her Tribute at the Harbour Front Centre. I hope I am lucky enough this year to see her somewhere. Maybe this is my year to have lunch with her. Kakki, that means I might be visiting you soon...

It was all a joke, beginning to end. It's similar to some of the jokes for visitors to New York and probably every place has a version of it; it's one of those classic "who's in and who's out" type jokes. I'm sure glad I didn't read it before visiting England. Some of that incorrect info would probably have stuck with me, and I'd wonder why all the Brits were giving me odd looks and/or laughing their heads off. Sounds like you had a miserable five years there, Abbymusique. That's really too bad; that's such a long time. I lived in England for five years, and I beg to > differ on most points (granted, this may be a joke on purpose, in which case, > very funny). First of all, the British are the least demonstrative people > I've ever met in my life, and rarely if ever display affection in public. It makes me a little itchy to be describing a huge group of people as all behaving the same way, but I'll do it anyway. I'd say, in general, the traditional British culture prizes politeness and reserve. The upside is that people are very charming, friendly and articulate (especially the Joni folks; not only that, but there were plenty of huggers in that group); the downside is that it's hard to get to know anyone deeply if they're keeping their inner life hidden the way they've been taught to do. Isn't that the theme of most English movies? I'm picturing Anthony Hopkins with a pained look on his face because he can't let go enough to tell a woman how he feels about her. Can't remember the movie's name now... no, it's not the cannibal movie. What's fascinating to me is how people in that culture get around the strait jacket of reserve with their sly humor and downright bawdiness that's just under the surface. It's much different than the American way of communicating, which, in general, is upfront and earnest, as in what you say is what it is. No hidden meanings to work out. > Now go to France, and that's a different story. Yep, every culture has its generally accepted ways of behaving. Here, it's considered odd if a person is too reserved and not telling details about their private life easily to everyone. That bothers most people here. Also, riding on the river > Cam is called punting, not cottaging, Cottaging must have some sexual connotation, since most of the terms used in the joke did. Any Brit care to tell us what "cottaging" means? and it is not very relaxing at all if > you hire your own boat, for you have to navigate it yourself, and that Mazola > crap? That must be a joke. Absolutely, which gives me a clue about what cottaging might be. > Like I said, if that post was meant to be LOL funny, it was, but for some who > have not traveled abroad, don't believe a word of it. Yeah, check out a British to American dictionary before going (or go with a trusted British friend), and then have a great time.

The first was at Avery Fisher Hall (NYC) in 1974, with the LA Express. The show was sold out, but one of my sister's friends worked at Avery Fisher and was going to sneak me in. I ended up scalping a ticket and paying something obscene like $30. Of course it was exciting to finally see my Joni, but as shows go it wasn't nearly as good as the next one I saw, at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium during the Shadows & Light tour. That was an astonishing show. From my point of view, it was her dream band, and I loved when she sang with the Persuasions. Despite the size of the venue, the audience was just rapt. I remember hearing gasps when she sang Amelia. Then I saw her on the Wild Things tour in 83 or thereabouts, and I saw her at A Day in the Garden, in NYC with Dylan and Morrison, and in Jersey on the Both Sides Now tour. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deb Messling -^..^- messling@enter.net - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 22:18:39 EST From: StDoherty@aol.com Subject: Re: onlyJMDL Digest V2002 #32 Just last night I finished Eric Nisenson's 'Round About Midnight ... Throughout the whole book I kept thinking how much it makes sense that Joni would be a fan. They're a lot alike. This morning checking my mail I saw the mail about Miles (really summed things up nicely, by the way) and couldn't help thinking about the coincidence. So I'll take it as a sign to ask a question that I didn't quite know where I'd get the answer to since I didn't know where to begin. Anyway, since the writer seem to have a pretty good handle on Miles ... and music, I thought maybe this was the place to enlighten me. What's it mean when a piece is written in modes rather than chords? I don't understand what's meant by modal music. Hope this doesn't seem like sophomore jive ... I'm trying to learn more about music. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 22:54:51 -0800 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: So Cal Jonifest Pics Yo Texas- There are some great shots here.

(One person did mention Workin', I think) Along with 'Round About Midnight on Columbia, this batch lets you hear how he first projected a band style that was as unique as the styles of the individual players. Some of the tactics were his choice of tunes, his use of mutes, having the piano (or piano & drums) not play during certain parts of a performance. On the Relaxin' set, a few of Miles's comments are preserved. Most tellingly, at the beginning of the old pop ballad "You're My Ev'rything," you can hear him stop the intro and tell the pianist "Block chords, Red." Jazz is based on spontaneity, but Miles knew that the totality of the peformance would leave an impression on the listener and he was far from unwillingly to mold things for what he felt was the best effect.

Prairie Theatre Exchange presents, under his direction, Joni Mitchell: River, a theatrical concert of songs by Canadian legend Joni Mitchell. I am calling River a theatrical concert because it resembles a concert, which has no dialogue, and theatre because I am creating a kind of narrative with the songs, explains MacInnis. I have chosen songs to paint the arc of a love affair from the giddy beginnings to the petty doubts through the breakdown and finally the wisdom that comes with age. To contrast the very personal material, I have also selected other songs which express the more public view, Joni's observations about the state of the world and human development. While the concert includes songs that span Mitchells entire career, from her folk roots to jazz fusions, River is not a biography. It is inspired by the act-ability of her songs, says MacInnis. The cast of three actor-singers will play the songs, not just sing them. In that way, I hope to bring an audience to a thrilling interaction with Joni's profound and very human insights about love and the world. The actors will make the songs their own, like monologues, in a style of their own without trying to mimic Joni. Joni Mitchell: River will be performed by a stellar cast that includes Thom Allison (Side By Side By Sondheim), Andrea Menard (Godspell), and Corrine Koslo (Shaw Festival ensemble member) who makes her PTE debut. The cast will be accompanied by an all-Winnipeg band including Don Benedictson (bass), Greg Lowe (guitars), Daniel Roy (percussion) and Leonard Shaw (keyboards/saxophone). Allen MacInnis directs Joni Mitchell: River, with musical arrangements by Greg Lowe. Set and costume design by Diborah E. Judah, lighting design by Scott Henderson (Godspell, Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well), and vocal coaching by Donna Fletcher. Stage management by Margaret Brook assisted by Wanda Bretecher.

And I don't know about the "act-ability of her songs," although I would love to see a video of the show since I can't go to Winnipeg any time soon.

I remember hearing gasps > when she sang Amelia. I was there, too, my first time seeing Joni. Yes, the audience was completely awed. If they weren't Joni fans, they were fans of someone in her band (and probably most were Joni fans by the end of the concert). My boyfriend at the time wasn't at all interested in going until he heard Pat Metheny would be there, and then nothing would have kept him away. I think everyone there was intensely interested in what was going on. My clearest memory of the show is Joni singing Amelia, in a spotlight all by herself playing her guitar, and how she slowly walked backwards out of the light as she was ending the song. Then there was the empty spotlight and the last few delicate sounds from her guitar floating away. Everyone was mesmerized and it felt like a long time before people came to their senses in order to clap, and then the place went wild. What a great concert that was, on a summer night, outdoors, with an occasional delicate misty rain making halos around the lights and everyone on stage having a grand time! It was magical, even mystical, such a wonderful night.

The description of the poster makes it seem like Joni's involved in producing this show, but in the article it seems like it's completely Mr. MacInnis's baby. Is he on the list? I like the idea of buying a tape of the show, and like even more the idea of it becoming a hit and showing up here in NYC, with maybe a trip to Chicago first. I'm curious about what the act-ability of her songs means. If the Cactus Tree is included the cast is going to be huge.
