She has spokenly publically of her hurt and sense of loss regarding the end of the relationship - and he broke it off with her.

I experienced a very unique moment at the weekend when something somebody said to me actually made me cry as it was so beautiful. It probably will sound out of context here but I'll give it a try. I was at a party and met an artist friend of my fathers who had painted a picture of - in basic terms - a scene of a lonely beach, no people just colours. I was looking at it and he looked at me right into my eyes and said, " It's somewhere between the sea and the sky, what you're looking for, isn't it?" I don't know why but it just really moved and inspired me and will stay with me forever. I know it's strictly not joni-related but most of her lyrics have similar effects on me, as they do for most of you. Ron - your post re. Down to You was incredible. best wishes sarah NP Paula Cole.

Not only is it irritating to scroll past paragraph after paragraph of postings that those of us on the list have specifically requested not be posted (if I want to read about politics, for instance, there are no shortage of places to do so; I don't care to have it foisted on me here, even if I am only scrolling past it), but I am also impatient when people don't delete parts of posts they are not replying specifically to -- so I have to scroll again past entire posts I've already read. > I don't understand why you > get infuriated when you have a choice. Digesters don't have a choice -- yeah we scroll by and don't read, but we shouldn't have to in the first place. It's just as Ken said -- some people know damn well the joni-only list is not for their political rants, but they steamroll over everybody else anyway. It's rude, it's disrespectful, and damn right it's self-serving. I'm not talking about accidentally forgetting the njc. Everyone does that once in a while, and that doesn't call for ripping their skin off.

I used SFS as well with a friend (on a sampler tape I made with other non-Joni songs), she was so impressed she bought 4 or 5 Joni's in the next week. Matter of fact, that's how I got Mingus...she bought it, didn't like it, gave it to me. I used Amelia when my Dad & I were spinning tunes at the beach. Because he's a lyrics nut like I am, he appreciated it greatly. Or maybe I should say that I'm a lyric nut like he is, after all he was here first. Anyway, the choice would vary according to the person...I would bet there's a Joni song out there for just about everyone.

When we all had a good buzz going, I gathered a bunch of my girlfriends around my tape player and played The Last Time I Saw Richard. They were all floored and asked me to play it again. I was in heaven, watching them recognize the brilliance of the song. In retrospect, we were probably all just high of our rockers, but it sure was nice! In my senior year, I made a mixed tape for a guy I just started dating - I tried to pick out the songs I thought he'd like best...lots from C&S and Blue. A year into our relationship he was singing along word for word to all the songs...if he did it to impress me, it worked. I married him. (Okay, it took me 10 years to marry him, but I finally did).

So I included "Woman of Heart and Mind." I love Blue so I included "All I Want." And from her most succesful commercial album and jazzy ... since she digs that too, I included "Car On A Hill."

I had previously suggested that Hejira was the last album that the general public bought; a new theory is that DJRD sold poorly because it was a double album. Lots of double albums did/do poorly (the White album, T'log); I believe there is too much new material to digest properly - It's not the right "chunk" of new material. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 23:53:50 -0700 From: Les Irvin Subject: test ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 23:58:35 -0700 From: Les Irvin Subject: Re: posting once, posting twice Sarah asked: >Can someone tell me please: when I post, do I need >to send to joni@smoe.org AND joni-digest@smoe.org Then Catherine added: >You need send to only one, otherwise your post will >show up twice. I think. Gee... I thought I knew the answer but I apparently didn't (thus the test). Seems either address will get the message through to the list. Best use just to be safe.

Geez why didn't she just call him "Spot!" Come on Siquomb get those creative juices flowing - COCO? Reeeeaally! Just sitting here with my cat, Isabella Rosellini, who is snickering at the very thought of being called COCO! Here's my rule for naming pets: one must use a name that will not be embarrassing when walking through the neighborhood calling loudly for one's lost pet, e.g., calling "Coco" seems rather harmless, but walking through the 'hood crying "Isabella Rosellini" could be awkward. You get the drift...as we all know Joni has already gone through the lost pet calling thing, in Bel Air, no less ("I call and call...the silence is so full of sounds...")
