It was all Joni, of course, because although I like a wide variety of music, hers is the only stuff that touches me as deeply, as profoundly, and as constantly over the long-term of my life so far. It is definitely the soundtrack of my life. So while I am thinking about which songs I would choose to play for about a 45-minute loop (while people were entering the chapel, if my relatives chose to do that to themselves [funerals are ordeals for the family, aren't they?]), I wonder what others would choose. While I am sure this topic has been covered before onlist, are there any takers? Kate du Nord for sure Black Crow would be on it <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Letter Out is a journal whatnot sent via email whenever I have time and inclination.

No, Lama, it is not the first time I had heard FTR, but it WAS the first time I had heard it through good 'phones and a CD quality source. I have to admit it was quite like hearing it for the first time but I have heard it many times before, never as clean as this though. Thanks for the DVD info BTW. mike in bcn NP Paris, Texas  Ry Cooder - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: Click Here ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2002 19:42:40 EDT From: KLCass21@aol.com Subject: Joni on DVD In case anyone is interested, the Shadows & Light DVD (import) is available from Collector's Choice Music. They are asking $49.95, about $8 more than Barnes & Noble. For anyone who is still contemplating this purchase, it is well worth the price, especially if you have home theater. www.collectorschoicemusic.com If anyone knows of the "Refuge of the Roads" '83 tour on DVD, please let me know. My VHS tape is fading fast and I have not seen it in stores in quite some time.

It was written by David Codden for the San Diego Union-Tribune during Joni's Dylan/Morrison tour in '98. God, I love some of the things she says. --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Jun 2002 22:06:35 -0700 From: Randy Remote Subject: Re: dancing to architecture Murphycopy@aol.com wrote: > << Writing about music, Mitchell reportedly once scoffed, is "like dancing to > architecture.">> > Shouldn't it be "dancing ABOUT architecture"?

RR ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2002 02:07:11 -0400 From: "patrick leader" Subject: RE: dancing to architecture i think the original quote is "writing about music is like dancing about architecture" and i think joni stole it (as she so often does) from nietsche. usually she gives him credit, though. i hate the comment, though, whether it's from joni, jerry garcia, or nietsche. i think, at the minimum, it displays ignorance about the possibilities of dancing. as a visual art, dancing is actually well-suited to be "about" architecture, and several choreographers i'm familiar with have done fantastic work creating dances about architecture. george balanchine's 50's neoclassical ballets reflected the edgyness of new york life then, including the agressive expansion of its skyline. lar lubovitch in the '80s made a dance called 'big shoulders', a tribute to his home town chicago, that truly did reflect its architecture. and mark morris' dance 'marble halls' brilliantly drew the connections between bach's musical structures and the baroque architecture of bach's era. and you know, there ARE more. furthermore, i think nietsche's statement is perverse in its avoidance of the fact that art is always searching to describe what's outside of itself. does joni think writing should only be about writing? does she write music that's only about music? is poetry about love lame because it's not actually love? of course not, but neitsche and joni miss that point. i'm a little more angry with joni, because i find the comment self-serving. she was unhappy with the writing about her music at that point, so she devalues all of it, and not even with her own words. it's a bit childish, and for someone who has a pretty good eye and ear for art, a little tone-deaf-and-blind. i've never read proust, but i understand his writing about music is sublime. i've read both fiction and non-fiction about music made my heart sing. i know it's out there, good writing about music. and i hope to see more good dancing about architecture. i feel a little sorry for joni if she can't read and see the those joys. patrick, end mild rant >-----Original Message----- >From: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com]On Behalf Of Randy >Remote >Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 1:07 AM >To: joni@smoe.org >Subject: Re: dancing to architecture > > >Murphycopy@aol.com wrote: > >> << Writing about music, Mitchell reportedly once scoffed, is >"like dancing to >> architecture.">> >> > >Shouldn't it be "dancing ABOUT architecture"?
