I live in NYC and ofted wondered what the roots of Chelsea Morning really were...what a fascinating story.... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2003 09:36:53 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni & "Midnight Cowboy" In a message dated 2/6/2003 5:23:09 PM Eastern Standard Time, guitarzan@direcpc.com writes: > Then I clicked on Joni's name and it shows a list > of her songs, including a bunch I didn't regognize, like "Daisy > Summer Piper" "Day After Day" > "Here Today and Gone Tomorrow" "I Won't Cry" > "Like Veils Said Laureen" "Love is Like a Big Brass Band" [I > hope not] "Moon In The Mirror" "Piano Song" "Play Little David" > "Poor Sad Baby" "Portrait In Red and Green" "Straw Flower Me" > "Two Houses" "The Way It Is" "What's the Story, Mr. Blue" Very cool, & thanks for the link, Randy! A lot of these are titles I'm familiar with & that a lot of us have..."Day After Day" was her first recording - we do have a copy of that...Play Little David, The Way It Is (the song she wrote for & performed on the CBC show of the same name), Mr. Blue are also songs that we have live versions of. Some of those others are listed on Jm.com, and others are not, so I'll say you've made a good find! "Two Houses" was what she called her early medley of "Blue Boy" & "Rainy Night House", she introduces them as such on the '69 PBS show. For those who may not have examined this fascinating segment of Joni's earliest work: http://www.jonimitchell.com/Unreleased.html > > ps > did you know Sammy Hagar wrote a song called "Both Sides Now"? > Ugh! Yes, I'm aware of Mr. Hagar's song...thank God it's NOT a cover, otherwise I'd have to listen to it. :~) Bob ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2003 09:43:11 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: "chelsea morning" and "the house for unwed mothers" In a message dated 2/7/2003 1:25:14 AM Eastern Standard Time, hvnphun16@hotmail.com writes: > I don't know if it has ever been > mentioned here before, but I decided to transcribe it anyway for those who > have never heard it: > No, it really hasn't been that I recall, Mia....thanks so much for the transcription, especially in the context of the discussion we had about Joni as an unwed mother. That's why I love to listen to these recordings as they can shed so much light into Joni's history & career. And I agree with your supposition that Kelly plays heavily into the imagery of Chelsea Morning, I had posted a while back about Joni's use of the word "baby" and how it can be applied to her loss.

I don't imagine most people who've read any of my books could readily see their connections to particular pieces of music, but I have long been aware that A Home at the End of the World evolved, in part, from Laurie Anderson's Big Science, Joni Mitchell's Blue, and the Mozart's Requiem; that Flesh and Blood derived from the operas of Verdi, Neil Young's After the Gold Rush, several albums by The Smiths, and Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah; and The Hours from Schubert (particularly Death and the Maiden), Brian Eno's Music for Airports, Peter Gabriel's Mercy Street, and, for reasons I can't begin to explain, Radiohead's OK Computer. The one constant since I started trying to write novels, however -my only ongoing act of listening fidelity- has been the work of Philip Glass. > Read the whole article here: http://www.philipglass.com/hours.html Gerry N.P.

For Andrea & anyone else who's interested. As of this morning E-bay had closed down the Joni cd's this guy was selling. They usually do a pretty good job of shutting those down quickly. And though he was a prime suspect, John "Lowdown" Low claims he is NOT involved! :~) Bob NP: Joni, "Mr. Blue", 3/17/67 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2003 08:24:24 -0800 (PST) From: music@allison.net Subject: Seeking "Love Is Like a Big Brass Band" Hi there! I am trying to find a copy of the unreleased Joni song, "Love Is Like Big Brass Band." Does anyone know how I could come by some sort of a recording on this song? A websearch only revealed a few sites that have the lyrics posted, but there seems to be no official way to get a hold of this song. Thanks so much!!!!

It's pretty obvious, but I also found this song in the copyright books when I lived in New York. Always guessed it was the original title of the song, "Marcie."
