Jim Johanson recently posted some information regarding a 3rd Film to [THE WORD: (3/6/02)]. more about that below. right now? JONI MITCHELL "BOTH SIDES NOW, And THEN" the 2nd film, tentatively scheduled for U.S. broadcast in November 2002 by PBS as part of their truly exceptional series "AMERICAN MASTERS" will have its initial broadcast, in Canada, on CBC-TV as part of their "LIFE And TIMES" series in *2 WEEKS* Tuesday, March 26 at 7:00 pm - Joni Mitchell - Part 1 Tuesday, April 2 at 7:00 pm - Joni Mitchell - Part 2 "Joni Mitchell has been called the most influential recording artist of the late 20th century. A rare, intimate look at a multi-award winning musician who is as private and reflective as the lyrics for which she is celebrated." here's some information from the CBC-TV WebSite. "The sweep and drama of Canadian lives take pride of place in Life & Times. These biographies introduce us to the struggles, the triumphs and trials of real people and their true stories - each one a thread in the fabric of a nation, and the times in which we live. The series shows how individuals make history, not always through circumstances of their own choosing. We see that we are not the first generation to struggle with great moral issues. These are the stories that Canadians can contribute to the great library: the memory of the world." here's a little more information about the "Life And Times" series for the benefit of our non-Canadian members. ABOUT THE SHOW The triumphs, trials and true stories of dynamic Canadians are the focus of Life & Times, Canada's premier biography series hosted by award-winning novelist, playwright and actor Ann-Marie MacDonald. Life & Times is back for a sixth exciting season. Our line-up includes musical stars Bruce Cockburn, JONI MITCHELL and the Barenaked Ladies, the story of the Bata shoe empire, activist Maude Barlow, golf legend Moe Norman and the dean of Canadian TV journalism, our own Knowlton Nash. In honour of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Life & Times is profiling several distingushed Olympic athletes, including hockey's hottest player Mario Lemieux, the inspiring story of curler Sandra Schmirler and figure skaters Toller Cranston and Elizabeth Manley. Join us Tuesdays at 7 p.m. on CBC TV for the compelling stories of these and other Canadians who have made an impact. Over the years, Life & Times has presented over 100 compelling profiles of such extraordinary Canadians as Tommy Douglas, Jim Carrey, Don Cherry, Mordecai Richler, Glenn Gould, the Dionne quintuplets, Mary Walsh and Margaret Trudeau-Kemper. Life & Times programmes have garnered numerous awards including four Geminis and multiple Hot Docs awards. Join host Ann-Marie MacDonald for intimate, hour-long biographies which reflect the true stories of Canadians. Each week a different story - one more thread in our country's fabric. Together a definitive family portrait. the two 1-hour programs will Not be the Final word/version of this new documentary. keep in mind that a 1-hour program on 'Commercial' television usually contains 42-to-44 minutes of actual programming (per hour). on the other hand, the PBS/AMERICAN MASTERS version will time-out somewhere between 52-to-55 minutes (per hour). it's not yet clear whether the DVD Release will contain extra material (or not). as of this moment the 'Final' edit (for CBC-TV) is not yet complete, although a copy of the 1st hour was sent to Joni last week for her viewing pleasure (and approval). she'll probably get a preview of the 2nd hour later this week. time is tight and the work continues. all things considered -- the March 26th broadcast deadline for the CBC-TV broadcast was somewhat unrealistic, but will be met. the producers' work will continue at a somewhat more relaxed pace preparing the final PBS/DVD edition. as for the film itself, the story is being told by the participants, primarily by Joni herself, using a variety of Interviews recorded at various times during her career. there is no narrator. the producers have interviewed a number of indiviauals including Elliott Roberts, David Geffen, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Neil Young as well as Joni's parents and JONI herself. (I think) they also spoke with Mr. Kratzman and i seem to recall being told that they'd even located Ray, an old high-school friend of Joni's. y'all remember Ray? don't ya?, his dad owned a Cadillac. the most recent interview (2 wks. ago) was with Joel Bernstein. Joels' participation has been crucial. he's been there as photographer, and friend, guitar tech, witness and participant, from the beginning. his knowledge and perception of Joni's music and her place within the overall context of the musical and cultural events of the times gives him a unique perspective not shared by many. and since he viewed the other interviews first, he was able to fill in some of the areas not addressed by others. it's surprising how late in the process (12-20-01) it was before the producers hooked up with him. nonetheless, they'd done their homework and research very well, obtaining a variety of films, videos, photographs (especially Joels') articles and other memoribilia. a variety of items photographed or filmed were from my own collection, including the "Spirit Of The Forest Video", a rare little item that even Joel hadn't seen. i'm sure you'll all find it interesting. every effort is being made to see to it that this is the definitive Video Documentary. and now for ... THE WORD ~ (3/6/02) Entertainment Weekly published a short article this week with a few new bits of information on Allison Anders' videotaping of the recent recording sessions for Joni's next CD, tentatively titled The Circle Game. In addition to musicians such as Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, who contributed to her last orchestral outing Both Sides Now, we can also expect to hear Ry Cooder, Billy Preston and possibly Neil Young, according to the EW article. "Some of it is material she did as a young girl, with a soprano voice and an acoustic guitar, now with an orchestra and an alto," says filmmaker Anders. "It's so interesting to hear these same songs with wisdom," she enthuses. "Not that she wasn't wise before, but it's like 'I thought I was on to something before, and now I know I am.'" Alas, one piece of important information nobody has mentioned yet is a release date. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything. First reported in the LA Times late last year (scroll down this page to the newsblurb from 12/4/01 for information on that report), the CD will feature Joni performing with 77 members of the London Symphony Orchestra -- although the EW article sports a nostalgic picture of Joni holding an acoustic guitar. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY ARTICLE ON ALISON ANDERS' DOCUMENTARY BTW: i don't know if, when or how -- BUT; i do know that some of the recording sessions for the BOTH SIDES NOW album were also filmed. more later. for now ~ take care, - ------- simon - ------- PS: there may? be a 4th. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 12:59:49 -0000 From: "Paul Castle" Subject: Blue Tapestry Clive Brothers clivebrothers@hotmail.com wrote >Absolutely sublime Joni and Carole King. >The best concert I've been to in years.

The songs are not different, since Hits/Misses is basically Joni's greatest hits album. I'm assuming you are talking about the song Dog Eat Dog and not the album? The only song I personally tabbed from DED was Impossible Dreamer and that was one of my invented tunings since ID is a piano song. I could never get past Joni/Dolby's wall of sound to figure out the tunings on that album. I left that to my trusty compatriots Marian, Mark and Howard. I just checked and we don't have a tab of DED on the site! Sacreblue! what happened!! I guess we have a mission! There is a transcription of the song Dog Eat Dog in the Misses songbook, which I will look at tonight. Another one of those Joni songs where I look at the tuning and say, yeah right, I might be able to play that and make it sound good, duh!

Again not in print. Another listed is "Changes" (1969). It is not clear whether Joni is in this one or provided music, but this one is rent-able.

( it was the first crush i had on an older man that i actually knew ! ) i digress...on with the matter at hand. we had to hand out lyrics, give a biography, tell why we choose the artist, and play the music. after we played the music we were responsible for heading a disscussion and answering questions. i had such fun with the assignment and was surprised that the majority of the class had know idea who joni was. ( that's what you get for going to high school with a bunch of southern red-necks !) after class the teacher pulled me aside and said i was a breath of fresh air amongst all the "necks." needless to say i was dreamy eyed and weak in the knees. then when i finally got around to going to college in the mid 80's i took an intro to poetry class. the teacher assigned a similar task as the high school teacher had. this time i picked ' reoccurring dream." we had to recite the lyrics, play the artists version of the song, and head a disscussion. i got a similar response in that most of my fellow students were not familiar with our joan. i had not thought about these experiences in a while and when i did i got the " warm and fuzzies !

Hi, all, These questions will only mean anything to those jmdlers who have seen or heard the songs in questions -- to all others, I think you can find the lyrics and, in some cases, the guitar tablatures, at . Ironically, I can't go there myself because my browser is mortally wounded, but that's another story, which i won't go into here... The questions: (1) This may be an old discussion for some of you, but the song "Just Like Me" almost seems like Joni's answer to the song (almost certainly by Dylan, but I seem to remember quite a few other people sang it, even at least one woman) that went: "She [blanks] just like a woman, She [blanks] just like a woman, And she [blanks] just like a woman, But she breaks (just) like a little girl." My memory of this song is obviously sketchy, but it came back to me when I heard Joni's "Just Like Me" (in which Joni describes the object of her affections as doing certain things, often confusing behavior, making him "Just Like Me"), which seems to be almost an answer to the (Dylan?) song. Is that possible? I don't know the chronology of the two songs, when each was written. Any comments? I know that Joni has at best mixed feelings about the Women's Movement, etc., but maybe she was fed up with lyrics like the above, in which underneath every together woman, there's a breakable little girl, and this was her response. Just a thought. (2) Another Oldie: "The Wizard of Is" reminds me, musically, of "Suzanne", you know, the one that starts "Suzanne takes you down/to a place by the river/..." I don't know who wrote it -- it may even be "traditional", but many artists have covered it. Anyhoo, "TWoI" reminds me musically (i.e., as opposed to lyrically") to the Suzanne song -- not exactly, but there are a lot of parallels. Anybody else think so? My apologies to those who haven't heard thre songs -- at least the lyrics to them are (I think) at jmdl.com. Musically yours, Walt ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2002 #73 ******************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
