This is a superb "concept" album, very poignant, and Ian's best IMHO. I saw it has been reissued on CD, hence this post.

Very interesting stuff, and the pictures are very helpful in forming a mental image of Joni's time in Crete. Hope that person comes through with the "Mermaid" photo! Bob NP: Stan Ridgway, "Calling Out For Carol" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 08:08:22 -0500 From: James Leahy Subject: Bruce Cockburn I saw Joni and Bruce Cockburn on the same bill at the Mariposa Folk Festival in Toronto, summer 1968. Bruce filled in for Neil Young, who didn't show. So, I think there are way fewer than six degrees separating them. They were part of the same folk circuit back then. I saw Bruce at several coffeehouses in Toronto and Montreal in those days.

Colleen was a unique and wonderful singer and songwriter who died in her forties from, I believe, breast cancer. If you haven't heard of her, see what you can find to have a listen. She was on the Canadian folk scene for as long as I can remember and I wouldn't be surprised if she and Joni had loved each other's music. In her last years, Colleen was a member of the group Quartette, with Sylvia Tyson. Damn, great harmonies. I loved Colleen's voice and style.

Go to the JMDL site, click on Joni in Fiction, then select Films. Once you get there, click on the title of any film that has Joni references. That will immediately bring you to the Internet Movie Database. Once there, you can enter the name of any film you want and it will give lots of info about the film. (Of course you could just go directly to the Internet Movie Database, but then you'd miss out on Joni in Fiction!) Take care, --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 11:14:57 -0700 From: Randy Remote Subject: Re: Mermaid Cafe (Joni quote) "Then the cops came and kicked everyone out of the caves, but it was getting a little crazy there. Everybody was getting a little crazy there. Everybody was getting more and more into open nudity. They were really going back to the caveman. They were wearing little loincloths. The Greeks couldn't understand what was happening." This is interesting, and isn't it the basis for the Eagles song "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks" ?

They bring more understanding to the emotions she must have been feeling when she wrote her song Blue as well... >>Joniphiles - Oddly enough, two separate people emailed me out of the blue within hours of each other about the Mermaid Cafe. I figured that was too weird to ignore, so I added a page to the glossary section about the cafe and the caves. One of those individuals is scouring their attic for a promised picture of the actual cafe as taken in 1969. Check out the info here... there are some interesting tidbits: http://www.jmdl.com/glossary/mermaidcafe.cfm<< ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 23:55:34 EDT From: Murphycopy@aol.com Subject: The Top Ten Group Names From "TML" I have been listening to "The Magdelene Laundries" tonight and I was struck by how many of Joni's phrases in this song sound like names for punk or rap or rock groups. (I know, "Get a life, Bob.") So without further ado, here's my Top Ten List of Group Names from "The Magdelene Laundries." Number ten . . . Branded As a Jezebel Number nine . . . Stuffed in a Hole Number eight . . . Bloodless Brides of Jesus Number seven . . . Wilt the Grass Number six . . . Bridget's Belly Number five . . . Prostitutes and Destitutes Number four . . . Leech the Light Number three . . . Cheeky Girl Number two . . . Shirley 2 God And the number one group name from "The Magdelene Launderies" . . . The Steaming Stains! --Bob ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2002 #184 ********************************* ------- 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?
