The awards were handed out in three cities--New York on March 30, Washington, D.C. on April 4, and tonight in Los Angeles. - ---- For a comprehensive reference to Joni's appearances, consult Joni Mitchell ~ A Chronology of Appearances: http://www.jonimitchell.com/appearances.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2003 08:18:08 EDT From: PassScribe@aol.com Subject: Re: Shuck & Jive In a message dated 4/19/03 3:00:51 AM, Murphycopy@aol.com writes: << Question: Did Joni come up with the phrase "shuck and jive?" I have never seen it anywhere else until now. Also, what does "shuck" mean? I assume it's slang and not the dictionary definition. Bob; I seem to remember that phrase being around long before Joni's inclusion in "The Jungle Line" although I have not done any research to substantiate this belief. To me, "shuck and jive" has always referred to the demeanor of people who were trying to con you into (or out of) something. Like someone giving you a line of bullshit to convince you of something; trying to "pull the wool over your eyes", etc. I guess "shuck" would refer to the "attitude"; "jive" being the line they're handing you.

It's called "Joni Mitchell - Her life, Her loves, Her music" by Leonore Fleischer, published by Flashbooks. Picked it up for $2.00. The cover on the front is a beautiful photo of Joni I've never seen before. There's even a little red rose on the top corner. Mostly what I like about it is the photos through out the book- a really nice collection. Also picked up a nice framed photo with Joni performing, her image superimposed over another shot of the whole band. I was already having a good day but this definately pushed it over into wonderful...

I just saw on Headline News that Etta James just got her star on the walk of fame today. She was hanging out at Joni's with Kiluaren back a few years ago. Her birthday was just a week or so ago, I believe she was 54. Also I get to see Willie Nelson here in Fort Myers, FL. I get to sit in at sound check and shoot photos. I hope I get to ask him about "Cool Waters."

On the sleeve notes of a 1993 re-release of "Crosby, Stills and Nash", Raymond Foye wrote: >>>>>>>> From its hypnotic opening notes, David Crosby's "Guinnevere" creates a space unlike any other in rock music. "When all my friends were listening to Elvis Presley, I was listening to 1950s West Coast jazz," Crosby notes. Later, Crosby's divergent musical sensibility was further inspired by a close association with Joni Mitchell, whose unusual repertoire of guitar tunings heightened his increasingly oblique musical sense, taking him another step away from standard rock formulas. Fellow musician Joel Bernstein recalls that for Crosby, "the discovery of non-standard tunings was the opening the little door in 'Alice in Wonderland'." By literally rearranging the tones on his guitar (the tuning is EBDGAD), Crosby tapped into a creative well-spring that produced "Deja Vu" and "Song With No Words," within a very short space of time.>>>>>>>> checking in from the NJC digest, Lama Details?
