If this is a duplicate posting, please forgive me! Here is the poem "Joni Mitchell," by Joseph Hutchinson. I found it in the anthology Sweet Nothings, and it was reprinted from Puerto del Sol. Water falls white on the white washed stones, fingers light on piano or the spine of a lover. Sobs and exultations, the open mouths and eyes of astounded houses, doves dead in mid-air, a scatter of leaves like torn astrologies. With her voice full of swords and blossoms, salt and blond honey, voice like the ruffle of air off the tip of the heron's wing, she sings the scrawl of blood and the fiery scripture of nerves written under the skin. We've slept like mountains, but now drum and saxophone swim in our bodies, hook-jawed salmon that leap the black keys, dying for the drowned genital stars, their fine bones singing like tuning forks. And there are guitars overflowing like drunken goblets, shiny sea-turtles dragging inland, heavy with eggs. There are sparrows dreaming in the cradles of her wrists, and roses, and ashes, and oceans collapsing on empty beaches, sliding back helpless and rising again. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deb Messling -^..^- messling@enter.net - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 07:19:04 -0800 From: "Stephen Epstein" Subject: joni on front page of National Post A nice coloured pic of Joni on the front page of today's National Post with the caption: "Grammy Awards pay homage to Prairie songstress Joni Mitchell" Go to www.nationalpost.com and scroll down to Arts and Life to read the article- unfortunately no pic on the web :-( Best to all Stephen in Vancouver Wishing he didn't watch the Grammy's last night! _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 11:16:30 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Today's Articles: February 28 (Court & Spark) 1974: "A Delicate Balance" - Rolling Stone (Review - Album, with photographs) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/740228rs.cfm This is a GREAT synopsis of Court & Spark...Mark in Seattle, this article touches on lots of the C&S issues we discussed way back.

That aside, I thought it was a total bummer that they used BYT (in addition to BSN) as the musical background for Joni's segment. They certainly could have used something more musically substantial, rather than further strengthening the general public's conception of Joni as "that taxi song singer," which is exactly what an acquaintance of mine said recently (he dropped a notch or two in my esteem when he said that! I tried to educate him.) Joni should be given the Legend Award, Grammy's highest honor. It in not awarded every year. While Ms. Keys is apparently talented and her album may deserve notice, I can't help but get a little hot under the collar when a newcomer wins as many Grammys in one night as Joni has won in her entire career!

It seemed he was doing this much more for the benefit of the recording labels as opposed to the actual artists who make the music. You could hear people booing him and those kids that he used as an experiment they must have felt like the biggest asses in the place! About Alicia Keyes winning 5 Grammy's, another young black woman several years ago won 5 awards and hasn't been heard from since. Her name? Lauren Hill. So take heart Bryan, obviously if Joni doesn't seem to give enough thought to be at the Grammy's then why should we care if she wins 1 or 100 Grammy's.

What other women singers have a first >name of Joni??? > >Marian >Vienna > ... about which, I comment: Joan Baez, whose discussion-group "listserv" similar to this one I subscribe to, DID write some of the songs she has recorded, including one of her best-known, "Diamonds and Rust." I don't know how many of her '60s and '70s recordings are her own compositions. And on the "*joan-list," people often refer to Joan as "Joanie," indistinguishable from "Joni" when spoken, as on the TV show. Two other singers with the name Joni: Joni James, who was referred to on this list several months ago, whom I erroneously identified as a blonde -- checking my catalogs of reissued recordings reveals that Ms. James is a brunette -- she recorded largely country music, and may have been most popular in the 1950s, but apparently is still active today; and Joni Bishop, someone whom I heard and saw perform (and liked) at the Second Story Coffeehouse in the public library in Denton, Md., in December 1999 (I think) - -- Ms. Bishop, while hardly an international household name, I don't think is local to the Delmarva Peninsula, but, rather, is a working musician who tours regionally, perhaps nationally. I believe Ms. Bishop writes some of her own songs but has not been performing as long as since the '60s; Ms. James may or may not write songs. And for casual music fans to confuse Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell is not all that far-fetched. Judy has recorded at least four Joni songs, including "Both Sides(,) Now," "Chelsea Morning" and "Michael from Mountains." Both have long blond hair and play guitar and piano. The names are similarly Anglo-Saxon, have the same number of syllables, the same accent pattern and almost the same number of letters. Judy's ancestry is English and Irish; Joni's ancestry is Irish and ???? Both became popular in the 1960s. Judy is mainly known as an interpretive singer, but may be underrated as a songwriter. While she has not written as many as Joni nor pushed musical boundaries, Judy's songs are well-crafted and afford an enjoyable listening experience and, one for one, compare favorably to whatever Joni has written in a similar vein (in my not-so-humble opinion).

It's really quite something. She's very very talented. She wrote the whole thing, arranged it, recorded it herself, plays piano, sings, and she's beautiful too (and I'm a fag!) When I first bought it it wasn't quite my usual Joni, Shawn Colvin, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris type of thing but I've been won over....Give it a listen. She's a huge cut above most of the dreck that's out there. As for Dylan, he's looked like a stuffed wax dummy of himself for 20 years. :-) On Thursday, February 28, 2002, at 09:00 AM, blonde in the bleachers wrote: > Is it just my imagination or do the Grammy's get worse every year?

I thought the bass was nice but nothing outstanding. I just re-listened to the first Tracy Chapman and it dawned on me how Larry's playing was an essential component of the sound on the album, and hence IMHO a substantial part of Tracy's success. Obviously this is not a scoop. Does anybody feel this way about this album? Is there a special connection between Larry and Tracy that would explain the simbiosis/synergy? Unrelated, but I've met a young woman in the studio who's a singing teacher. She doesn't smoke so her voice is in the BLUE register. She didn't know about Joni so I made her a CD and she came to the last rehearsal to perform Woodstock. What an orgasm (no less) after all these years to be able to do it with a good female voice!

I find this very interesting. I discovered Joni in 1969 here in Detroit, just a couple of years after she left town. I always regretted the fact that I didn't discover the "coffeehouse" scene until after Joni left, although I did travel to see her in Stratford that year. I began going to our local haunts, including the Raven Gallery and Chessmate, and I did see Chuck perform a number of times. He did a song called "Raggedy Andy" that he wrote and was also published by Gandalf BMI. I always liked it, and actually found an album of his in our local record store that I still have that contains that song. I've heard of the "Combinations" album, but this one is called "Dreams and Stories" and was recorded in June and July of 1969 on Strider Records. I just pulled the album out to look at it after reading the Chuck Mitchell posts and guess who plays drums on the album...John Guerin. It also says recorded Sunset Sound L.A., Bill Lazarus and Tom Harvey, engineers; Strider, Detroit and Los Angeles. There are no Joni songs on the album but a few are: Acapulco (Michael Peter Smith), Broken Hearted Mama (Eric Andersen), Mister Bojangles (Jerry Jeff Walker) and a couple songs Chuck wrote, along with co-writers. 9 tracks total. I also just found inside a huge poster of a drawing of Chuck with the lyrics to the song "Dreams and Stories" with a Chuck Mitchell autograph (produced on the poster), and of course, the song was written by him. I didn't even realize this poster was inside until now. Actually the album is in near-mint condition even after all of these years! So much for some "Chuck" trivia. I'm sure I have a file on him somewhere as well, since he played this area so much. If there is any further interest, I'll take a look for it.

Pitassi" Subject: RE: Eva Cassidy Anne wrote: "Eva Cassidy. So, drop everything and buy her album Songbird today. Right now! The whole album - actually all of her work - is that good. lots of love Anne" I have an "Eva story" and can't remember whether or not I shared it with the list, so forgive me if I'm repeating myself. But last summer, I was in a retail shop in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I was staying for a combination of professional conference and vacation. I lingered in this particular store for a while, and eventually realized that I was doing so because I was captivated by the album playing, which I couldn't identify. Turns out it was "Songbird." I already knew the story behind the album: namely, that it had been released posthumously, as a labor of love by Cassidy's family and friends. And so my joy at finding a new artist to discover further, and at learning the answer to my question, was definitely bittersweet. What a talent, though! I'm so glad we still have her wonderful recordings.

Saffy leaves first, Patsy storms out, and Eddy slumps to the floor of the bathroom. Very unfunny, really. In the next episode, they've each gone their own ways -- Patsy has gone off to NYC for a new job (and doesn't fit in there -- she's mistaken by a bunch of leather-clad genderf**k drag queens as one of their own), and we find Edina at a silly New Age resort where she also doesn't fit in. But their fight, in Edina's bathroom, was well-acted and, honest to god, upsetting. Don't know if this helps you find it, Bob -- it was near the end of the orginal run of the series, I think, but that's what I remember of the episode. cheers, sweetiedarling, walt ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 21:21:43 -0800 From: Lindsay Moon Subject: Grammy Grumblings, continued (VLJC) Having not yet read the recent lister reviews of last night's Grammy's, I was busy penning the following report to my niece: Watched the Grammys last night. Who the hell are those people and what do they have to do with music?? I was embarrassed for the likes of Elvis Costello who had to present with Diana Krall (well, okay, at least she has talent) and I don't know who else. The thought of that genius of a musician/songwriter having to endure the load of crap presented and awarded is just shameful. U2 is fine, but I don't see the genius. I think they write those pop songs in about 15 minutes and a lot of it is just repetitious crap. Joni was given a lifetime achievement award along with Count Basie, Perry Como, Rosemary Clooney and some others. It boiled down to a 20-second video clip per artist. Your basic, okay, you've had your day in the sun, you're old -- or dead -- now move along so we can get some new blood in. Sigh. Man, I'm gettin' old! I kept saying, 'bring out the old people; at least I understand what they're doing!' So enjoyed the black guy wearing a pink silk-type suit and a long blonde wig. Very fetching. And he won a Grammy, whoever he was. Sooo deserved it! I think Joan Rivers must take to her bed with cold compresses on her head after hosting one of those gigs. So basically I agreed with Bob Mueller to the T (not an uncommon occurrence, being the astute observer and witty writer that he is). And, Bob, what is the meaning of your NP line: You may recall I am an avid fan of Mr. Finn's and would love to hear what juicy little tidbit you've referred to. Your ever-Joni-lovin' pal, Lindsay P.S. Saw a slogan on a T-shirt today in the mall, something like 'you can't spell crap without rap.'
