["Marian Russell " Subject: French Fascism Excuse me if I've missed something but is it right that nobody has mentioned on this list the defeat of the French left in the Presidential elections and that the second round of the ballot will pit the corrupt Chirac, who would be imprisoned if not for his elevated position, against Le Pen, a serial fascist, racist, woman beater and a disgrace to French and European politics?

The Last Waltz - It started as a concert. It became a celebration. Twenty-five years ago, on Thanksgiving Day 1976, five thousand cheering fans gathered for the historic farewell concert of The Band. In Martin Scorsese's "brilliant" (Newsweek) film The Last Waltz, superstars Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Van Morrison join the musicians on-stage, along with one-time collaborator Bob Dylan, and Neil Diamond in an unforgettable finale. The Last Waltz Special Edition DVD includes an audio commentary with Robbie Robertson and Martin Scorsese, rare unseen footage, a "Revisiting The Last Waltz" featurette with Robbie Robertson and Martin Scorsese, collectible eight-page booklet written by Robbie Robertson and much more! The Last Waltz on Special Edition DVD is available May 7, 2002. "rare unseen footage". Could some of this be Joni's set?

Reminds me just how very strong those songs are! (Joni hasn't performed all of the Hejira songs live). <> It was fun, although not very fruitful. But when we met David Lahm at Judy's, he handed me a jazz CD that just came out with a new cover of "Tin ANgel" on it. Way cool as that's NOT a common cover. I need to post some more about NY, just haven't had the time yet this week... Bob NP: Cowboy Junkies ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 May 2002 07:31:30 -0500 From: Emily Gray Tedrowe Subject: Joni's audio kakki -- i thought your post about "car on a hill" was such a clear and excellent interpretation of that song. i loved what you said about " It adds to the sense of the lover being slightly removed and disconnected, down the hill, but traveling towards Joni as she sings." and i would add that the muted confusion of the background noise probably gives a general sense of disconnect to the song...emphasizing all the obstacles between lovers like time, cars, and hills. thanks for posting this insight! one last "car on a hill" tidbit: on the "people-mover" in the dallas-fort-worth airport, around midnight last weekend during a looooong walk from one airplane to the next, i sang along to "car" playing over the loudspeakers. what a treat! made a gross trip (from FL back to chicago) much sweeter. probably what would have been more appropriate to that moment, though: "i took a plane to a taxi and a taxi to a train i've been traveling so loong how'm i ever gonna know my home when i see it again" - --emily ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 May 2002 09:04:01 -0400 From: Jerry Notaro Subject: Erin Hamilton Erin Hamilton, shining star of Joni's Jazz, is on the cover of The Advocate's music issue. In the magazine's interview she states her biggest influences were Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, and Ella Fitzgerald. Nice list.

It was great fun choosing my favorite songs and arranging them so they can be played back to back. Here are the contents: 1. Rainy Night House 2. My Old Man 3. Willy 4. The Last Time I Saw Richard 5. River 6. Shades Of Scarlet Conquering 7. The Arrangement 8. Banquet 9. For Free 10. Court & Spark 11. Judgement of the Moon and Stars 12. Blue 13. Lesson in Survival 14. Blonde in the Bleachers 15. The Same Situation 16. Down to You 17. Let the Wind Carry Me 18. See You Sometime 9. Two Grey Rooms 20. Man From Mars (alternate Grace Of My Heart soundtrack, with Joni vocals and acoustic piano). These are all in MP3 format (copied from my personal collection of CD's) except for the last cut, which was sent to me as an MP3. The sound is fine, at least on my stereo, to my non-audiophile ear. I've made a few extra copies for people on the list. Should you be interested in having a copy, please contact me off-line and I'll tell you what you need to do. Michaelo ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 02:53:33 -0400 From: "Marian Russell " Subject: New Austrian Joni cover band! My friend Reinhard Ziegerhofer, the bass player for the incredible Austrian Folk-Jazz fusion band Broadlahn, has joined up with some other musicians from the Graz area of Austria to play the songs of Joni Mitchell. The lead singer, Vesna Petkovic, is apparently doing a university thesis on Joni's music and all of the other musicians are very keen Joni fans. On their programme they write: "We love music and we love her music." They will be performing in Lafnitz, Austria, on Friday, 10 May 2002, 21:00 (9 p.m.), at the CEOL BAD Irish Pub. Information and reservations can be made at the phone number 03338/3650. Marian Vienna ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 02:58:37 -0400 From: "Marian Russell " Subject: The new Joni band needs some help! The setlist for the band's performance is as follows (but not in this order): Both Sides Now This Flight Tonight Woodstock Raised On Robbery All I Want Big Yellow Taxi Free Man In Paris Amelia Black Crow Coyote Dreamland In France They Kiss On Main Street Man From Mars How Do You Stop The band would be very grateful for any little bits and pieces of information related to any of these songs - things that could be said in between songs to the audience. Can anyone help me with some trivia for the new Austrian Joni band? Many thanks, Marian Vienna ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2002 #129 ********************************* ------- 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?
