I'm not 100% on this one, Ruth, but I believe that this is indeed the case. Is Joni's strategy to fulfill her contract and bow out (the working title for the project IS "Swan Song" after all)? Could be, she's been trying to quit since 1970. And if it is her final work, it would sure be a shame, with so many of her contemporaries (Dylan, Costello, Springsteen, Waits, & old beau JT) continuing to release outstanding work and proving that record industry be damned they can still be relevant.

Perhaps it's just Joni's final work under a contract. (As opposed to an independent release.) One may wish, yes?

Joni's #1 skill imo has always been as a writer & composer, and those skills theoretically should get better with time through experience and the wisdom that continues to develop with age. Whether or not her vocal chops hold up in the longrun doesn't concern me a bit...most of my favorite singers are raspy as hell, but they have an emotion that is real. BUT they do require a good song to sing. I'd LOVE to see her hook up with a good independent label! So, here's hoping our WISH comes true! :~) Bob NP: JT, "Little More Time With You" 5/30/98 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 10:43:21 -0700 From: Steve Dulson Subject: Joni content at Edmonton Folk Fest Hello all! Just got back from Canada...Oh Canada! At 1:30 AM Monday I was still dancing to La Boutine Souriante at the festival hotel, and my shuttle left for the airport at 4:00 AM...so if coherence is lacking, please excuse! I had a wonderful weekend in Edmonton - Canadians are so darned nice, and the festival is SO well organized...and those prairie skies!! Of course, the backstage pass made things even better. :) Many great acts (including the recently-discussed-here Patti Griffin), but I'll stick to the Joni content. On Friday, the last act scheduled on the mainstage was Big Sandy, basically an Orange County bar band. Ho hum, I thought, no need to stick around, so I grabbed a shuttle back to the hotel. They were broadcasting the fest on the radio, and I hear...Warren Zevon (a last minute add-on) doing "Lawyers, Guns and Money". Darn, I thought, I should have stuck around. Then he does "Case of You" with DULCIMER back up. Argh! I later chatted with his "band" Matt Cartsonis from LA...he had figured out a version of Joni's dulcimer part - I told him I'd show him how she REALLY did it. Apparently several acts wanted to include Canadian content. Los Lobos (after finishing with the GD's "Bertha") encored with a kick-ass "Cinnamon Girl". Sunday afternoon Ireland's Sharon Shannon was playing, and brought out an Irish singer named Pauline (last name missed) to do "the only song I know about Canada" - "Case of You", of course, done very well. I know the performances were recorded - more work for Bob! Now I guess I'm supposed to be working... :( - -- ######################################################## Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA steve@psitech.com "The Tinker's Own" http://www.tinkersown.com "The Living Tradition Concert Series" http://www.thelivingtradition.org/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 18:24:34 EDT From: AzeemAK@aol.com Subject: Vicarious Joni Moment After seeing a client today, I was writing up my notes in the common room where I see clients, and another counsellor, Andrew, came along and said hello. We started chatting about music, and Joni Mitchell came up (obviously). He mentioned that he'd seen her in concert at Wembley Arena. I immediately assumed that this must have been in 1982, her last tour here, as he doesn't look old enough to have seen her earlier. But no, he said it was the late 70s. Short pause, before he delivered himself of the following bombshell: "My friend and me were on our way up there on the tube [Underground], and there was this woman sitting opposite who looked just like Joni. We were nudging each other and saying 'maybe it's her', 'nah, couldn't be', etc etc. Then at Wembley station she got up to get off too, smiled at us and said 'maybe I AM her!' " I can't repeat my reply to Andrew, as it's rude. Can you believe that Joni was travelling on public transport, to her own gig, in a particularly insalubrious part of London, on her own?? That's it, really. Azeem in London NP: Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 23:50:27 +0100 From: "William" Subject: ... got till it's gone, amen. Joni mention on The Vicar of Dibley. The episode in which Leticia dies. After the funeral; Hugo says - 'Very moving. I particularly liked the quote from Johnny Morris.' The Vicar - 'I think you'll find that was Joni Mitchell.' Hugo - 'Right. Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone.' Seems French as well as Saunders may well be a big Joni fan.

Paul's a a-hole IMO I didn't quite catch it, but I think Paul may have said something like "8 million, as many people as in Joni Mitchell's band," referring to when Joni and the BSN orchestra played on the Letterman show, no doubt pushing Paul and band right off the stage. Just a hunch.
