The program was broadcast six days later. Joni sang Chelsea Morning, The Gallery, Night in the City, and Cactus Tree. Joni was booked for several other Radio 1 sessions during tours in 1968 and 1969, but all were cancelled for various reasons. 1985: The Alberta Reporter ran an editorial cartoon with a likeness of Joni. Wally described the situation: "On what is called The Sunshine Coast near Vancouver, where Joni has had a house and property since the early 70's, a salmon fishing company had begun to build a huge $2 million plant. The other property owners, Joni's neighbors, asked her to join a protest against this enterprise that they believed could destroy the natural state of affairs in the area. Joni spoke to the press from her home in L.A. and said: "I thought I'd purchased a piece of wilderness, but it's being corrupted by industry." The Alberta Report newspaper took the side of the hatchery reporting that it would bring hundreds of jobs to the population who was heavily unemployed, and they claimed that Joni was not really a current resident and was rarely even in B.C. The salmon company complained that this was a case of a Hollywood celebrity trying to smear an honest fish business."

BUT if you want Bob to enjoy your birthday wishes at work (and have him spend even MORE time on JMDL'ers!) you should write to the address in the subject line. Just want to add that Bob was the one who asked Henning and I to come to JoniFest 2002, which I wouldn't have missed for the world! Big HAPPY BIRTHDAY wish from me!

I lurv it. BUT the big surprise was a cd he sent me along with it. Steve Klink. If you like Joni music YOU MUST HAVE THIS. Kinda smooth jazz interpretations of 15 of Joni's finest. Very interesting and very musical. Not obscure - very accessible. Get your hands on a copy if you can. It's in my car non stop at the moment....I really love A Case of You..BYT is done like the the theme tune from "Taxi' (the 70's/80's US comedy prog) and Night Ride Home is well...unique. They have a female vocalist on a couple of the tracks and it works . Somehow, you gotta get this ! Honest. Gordon in ( very sunny but very cold) Glasgow PS Did I mention u gotta get the Steve Klink CD? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2002 08:05:04 -0400 From: Deb Messling Subject: When All the Slaves Are Free Has anyone seen this Canadian musical? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deb Messling -^..^- messling@enter.net - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Date: Sun, 22 Sep 2002 14:56:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Jenny Goodspeed Subject: JT's contribution to Blue For a long time I believed that Joni had written A Case of You about James. Hmm. I kinda thought it might be about the elusive Leonard Cohen, who shared time with Joni in Greece, among other things. Her Wizard of Id is a mirror to his Suzanne. His words pour out like holy wine ; the map of Canada, etc. It may also be not about any one guy in particular. But I hear a very deep hurt there. I have to say, this is my all-time favorite Joni song, and every once in a while, when done with great heart, and in a new way, this song has a way of catching me off guard, and the tears just roll down. No other song does that to me. (Thank you, Bryan Thomas) This said, James could certainly be her Blue boy... But frankly, I hope I never really know. I like (and respect) the mystery. Some things are best left unsaid. Michaelo ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2002 22:48:14 EDT From: KJHSF@aol.com Subject: Re: blue about James?

No other song does > that > to me. Interestingly, I put on my gold CD of Blue last night and heard some nuances I'd not caught before. Among them, as she sings "blue" in the opening of the title track, the final note of that word becomes beautifully hollow, like the sound of someone blowing over the lip of a bottle or like wind or like the sound of the sea in a seashell. I listened to this over and over upon discovery, because I'd never heard Joni's voice take on that same quality, and I feel she's done it intentionally here. So, class, if you'll all take out your copies of Blue and turn to the opening word and take a listen, I'd be interested to hear what you think. In any case, it is a timeless song and I have to agree with Kate Bennett that I really wish she'd recorded a version for the new CD!!!

I listened to this all day yesterday. Just you writing about it ....I just can hear her....I get chills. Beautifully hollow....yes....I would not have thought to describe that last note that way...well put.... The song does evoke much from me...terrible sadness....desperation..longing.....
