His reply initially was " so don't bid" and then was "who are you?". After that I deleted all my messages and didn't respond as I had obviously pissed him off. So I am delighted that ebay threw him off. I have found my experiences on ebay to be very positive so need to have shady exploiters, especially when it comes to Joni.

I curiously flipped through and I found a page on which I had documented each of Joni's albums up to that date, listing them in order of which I considered my favorites -(I must have been waiting for paint to dry or something, I don't know!). Then under each album, I had written which song was my favorite and which was my least. I find this discovery so fascinating as this journal was written prior to the release of NRH, but after CMIARS, and I have come to realize how much my perceptions and tastes have changed over the past dozen years. For instance, I listed Joni's most accessible albums as my 3 favorites; C&S, Blue and LOTC. Yes, I still love these recordings, but my tastes have really progressed so that today my top 3 are from her more adventuresome period; Hejira, DJRD and HOSL. I have also come to realize that I like Joni's 80's efforts much more now, than back in the 80's! DED RULES!!! As far as favorite/least favorite songs, I was again surprised at how they have rotated in and out of favor. Some of the songs I had listed as least favorite 12 years ago, mean so much to me know: Jericho, Cactus Tree, Edith, Wolf, Beat of Black Wings for example. Favorites from back then include songs I rarely listen to now; Help Me, WTRF, Circle Game and Conversation. And some of my notations are just plain bizarre; I actually wrote down that my favorite song on CMIARS was Reoccurring Dream. What was I thinking? I'll blame it on the paint fumes! Anyway, never found the book I was looking for, but I did find an interesting window into my insights from a past time and place. Pretty cool. Just thought I'd come out of the shadows and share that interesting find.

I take it Bob is "Mr Info" when it comes to Joni, so here are some more questions. Books about or by Joni - are any outstanding "Must Haves ??" Is there a book of her lyrics, with the stories behind her songs ?? Are there books about her paintings?? Fred I have found my e-mails do not travel very well. If I had written the following I'v found my e-mails don't travel very well, this would happen, or will it ? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2003 12:59:00 -0800 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re: "chelsea morning" and "the house for unwed mothers" interesting because i recall reading a bit of a different explanation in 'shadows & light'... something about joni & some friends finding some bits of glass & making mobiles of them & hanging hers in her chelsea apt... ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2003 16:45:23 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Joni in Print In a message dated 2/8/2003 1:25:04 PM Eastern Standard Time, Freddyb4@aol.com writes: > Books about or by Joni - are any outstanding "Must Haves ??" I don't know about "must haves", Fred, but as a Joni fan I love to devour all I can read about her. Shadows & Light by Karen O'Brien is a good and informative read. Stacey Luftig's "Joni Mitchell Companion" is also a nice synopsis of various writings, ordered to give you a good overview of her career. And don't forget the JMDL's own library with hundreds of articles! Joni hasn't written her autobigraphy yet - at least; it hasn't been published. > Is there a book of her lyrics, with the stories behind her songs ?? There is a book that contains her lyrics...of course, they're available on the JMDL as well. As for the STORIES behind the songs...well, Joni's left it to US to figure that one out! :~) > Are there books about her paintings?? There was a book published to coincide with her exhibit at The Mendel Gallery in Saskatoon called "Voices - The Work of Joni Mitchell". And she had 40 or so pages devoted to her in the book "Starart" featuring some of her art and a good bit of print as well.
