Hi Everyone! Here is the list so far of Jonifest 2003 attendees. As you can see, there are many, many people missing from this list. Are you one of them? Are you planning on attending the Best Ever Happening Thang in 2003?? If so, please get your deposits, checks, forms, in to me as soon as possible. As you can see, there are only 37 names on this list. According to the contract that I signed with Full Moon, I have to pay them for 60 people, whether 60 show up or not. If this number isn't met, I will have to pay out of my own pocket. Trust me, that will not make me happy, and it will mean the end of Jonifest. Since we had almost 70 people attend last year, and there is usually at least a 15% increase every year, I signed the contract with them in good faith. Please sign up now if you are planning on attending this year. There are lots of great surprises and it promises to be a GREAT fest, per usual. Perhaps those that have attended in the past could speak up and vouch for that sentiment? Also, there are many people who need assistance this year, and the scholarship fund is low. If you can afford to help your fellow Jonifesters out this year in any way, please consider donating to the scholarship fund.

Ashara sez: > There are lots of great surprises and it promises to be a GREAT fest, > per usual. And she's right! > Perhaps those that have attended in the past could speak up and vouch > for that sentiment? I can and I will, but first, a complaint: there are entirely too many people from Massachusetts coming to this year's JoniFest! Driving their "cahs" and drinking at the "bahs" and outside at night staring at the "stahs" -- I tell you, I'll be running around trying to find people who can properly say "R" at the end of a word! j/k, of course. ; ) If you've been to a JoniFest before, you know what you'll miss if you don't attend this year's. Especially if you attended last year, you know that everything about having the fest at the Full Moon (http://www.fullmooncentral.com/intro.html) is just SO EXCELLENT -- the mountains, the trees, the grounds, the performance space, the cabins, the common areas, the secluded areas, the food, the food, the incredible FOOD, the music, the music, the beautiful and amazing MUSIC, the wonderful FRIENDS, old and new -- it's all there to be enjoyed for a nice long weekend. Kerry, wasn't it you who said, "JoniFest is like camp for grown-ups"? Several of us have been working on getting the photos from last year's Fest on the JMDL website, but meanwhile, drop by Chris Marshall's site and have a look at some of the pictures there (copy and paste link to your browser if it breaks here): http://www.hatstand.org/gallery/view_album.php? set_albumName=usjonifest2002 (Thanks, Chris!)

I thought I had saved the quotation, but now I can't find it. (It's probably with my keys somewhere!) And speaking of acronyms, I am reading "White Teeth" by Zadie Smith. (I noticed on PBS last night that it is going to be -- I think -- a miniseries beginning May 11.) Anyway, in the book there is a Muslim group called "Keepers of the Eternal and Victorious Islamic Nation." Whenever the name is mentioned, someone always says, "KEVIN?" And the response is always something like, "We are aware we have an acronym problem."

About people from Massachusetts, Lori writes: << I tell you, I'll be running around trying to find people who can properly say "R" at the end of a word! >> People from Massachusetts DO put Rs at the ends of words, Lori! Unfortunately, it's usually words like Cuba (Cuber) and idea (idear). But Massachusetts is probably one of the most intelligent states in the US -- there, I said it! -- so it's no wondah that so many of us here love Joni! I went to my first Jonifest in 2000 and I'd never miss another, so I would encourage EVERYONE to check it out. I was new to the list when I first went to the fest and frankly, getting together with a bunch of people I only knew from the Internet is not something I would usually have done. BUT I AM GLAD I DID IT! And you will be, too! So get on over to JMDL.com and check out previous fests and then sign up. After all, where else are you going to find such a big group of loving, intelligent and fun-loving people who, like you, also happen to know the words to just about every Joni song ever written!

There's no NJC tag, so I'll start with the Joni content. When Wendy Waldman used to come to Boston to play Passim, she'd always be interviewed on local folk radio. She's a pretty accomplished dulcimer player, but the entire interview was usually about how Wendy was inspired by Joni's playing on Blue to start playing dulcimer. I think I recall that she had a dulcimer made for her by Joellen, the same woman who made one of Joni's dulcimers. So, are there any other Wendy Waldman fans out there? Does anyone have the first album, that had Gringo en Mexico on it? (most of that album is available on a collection CD - but I really want to hear the song about spring.) and in the trivial trivia category, I actually bought a Don Johnson (Miami Vice) album because it contained a Wendy Waldman song I'd never heard. That's desperation - - especially considering I never understood his popularity... although now that I think of it, the album wasn't completely horrible... lots of love Anne ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 12:55:50 -0400 From: dsk Subject: Re: joni's "nervous breakdown," shamans & acronym problems Murphycopy@aol.com wrote: > > Can someone help me find the quotation from Joni -- which may have been > connected to the recent PBS show -- in which she says something about going > to Canada before "For the Roses" (FtR, for Catherine!) and having what some > people would call a nervous breakdown, but Native Americans would have called > a "_?_." Ok, if I must, I'll watch the tape again... I think SC is what you're looking for, Bob. From the PBS show: "I was going down and with that came a tremendous sense of knowing nothing. Western psychology might call it a nervous breakdown, but in certain cultures they call it a shamanic conversion. I read nearly every psychological book I could get my hands on and threw them all against the wall basically. But depression can be the sand that makes the pearl. Most of my best work came out of it. If you get rid of the demons and other disturbing things, if you get rid of them then the angels fly off, too. So there is a possibility in that mire of an epiphany." What a WW!

This may have been covered already, I came across it in the archives (Interview with Gene Shay, Sept. 68) Joni: "Sisotowbell Lane" means "somehow in spite of trouble ours will be everlasting love." And I just took a thought and then kept working it until the vowels made a nice-sounding word, you know. At that point in her life an everlasting love seemed to be on her mind. In some ways maybe she does share an everlasting love with Nash and Klien??? Lama wrote: "I've thought this chick had a spark 3 decades ago. Now I've thought that about LOTS of songwriters but she keeps framing the spark in different ways and magically, almost every album seems fresh somehow. I almost never catch her using the same trick over again. It's uncanny really." soooo true. That's why we love her. She just keeps push and a push and a push and a pushin on... Did Nyro write that about Joni? ...Anyway it's great for us that she had this need to keep breaking new ground, combining new sounds, pushing it to the limit to see where the music would take her, and in turn take us.

The North East Joni Fest is a life altering most wonderful time and you wont regret it one bit. Songs of joy and peace, new friendships blossom, old friendships deepen...and who knows, you might even find a mate ;-) tis the perfect venue for the celebrating of birthdays as well as honeymoons ;-)))) The Full Moon resort, set in the Catskill Mountains of New York state is exquisite. Truly beauteous. And the staff is fantastic too. And the food and..and and.... :-)))) Music everywhere you turn...you can sing on stage if you want, or you can sing along if you want.,...jam on a porch or the lawn or the steps....attend a workshop or two.......eat delicious meals with your new found family, laugh til your belly aches. you can stay up all night and just keep on going into the light of the next day. The talent in this fine community is incredible. Imagine...high calibre music all around you everywhere you go. My only 'complaint' is that there is never enough time to talk to everyone!!!! Like Wally said, lots of opportunities to help out at the Fest itself in terms of volunteering to do anything from schlepping to setting up the stage..and on and on it goes. The Raffle is fantastic so be sure to dig down deep and bring a long a special something for the Give Away Table and/ or the Raffle. And buy your tickets once you get there!!!!! Maggie and Alex, our wonderful Raffle-ites promise to make this another great year for goodies. The sales of which help Les and Jim to continue their web sites. Because of all of their hard work, we are here. and not to mention all the behind the scenes gnomes, faeries, amazons, firebirds, and on it goes....it takes a village to make such an event happen !!!! Awesome Ashara does a lot of work out of the goodness of her heart, (much more than she will admit to) for all of us because she wants us to have fun, enjoy ourselves together and to continue to celebrate all the good things we've discovered together as a caring, loving, fantastic community. !

Disc one starts off with Joni doing Edith, Coyote, and Don't Interrupt the Sorrow. The rest of the disc is Dylan, also Baez and McQuinn. Here is a web page with a pic of the cover and track listing: http://www.angelfire.com/wa/monicasdude/697.htm Here is an excerpt of a Dylan fan's description: My favorite Rolling Thunder boot (although Satisfied Man, Knight of the Hurricane, and Hold the Fort For What It?s Worth are the only other shows I?ve heard, along with the compilation Acoustic Thunder). Sound quality rates a B, as it?s a bit thin, but it?s clear with good balance and separation, and the right mix of audience (who are attentive and very appreciative). Joni opens with three gems (?I want to lay three new movies on you...it?s like seeing a picture show for the first time,? she says nervously), giving way to Bob and the big band for seven. Apparently Dylan fans have this show for trading. Hopefully sometime it will surface and we can circulate it around. This led me to a description of a different show form the Rolling Thunder tour. There is a NY Times article about it in the jmdl library, but this gives more details, and more about Joni's part: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=joni+mitchell+rolling+thunder+group:rec.music.dylan&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=rec.music.dylan&selm=2985038759.2.p00518%40psilink.com&rnum=8 an excerpt: ...When Bob walked into the Correctional Institution for Women that December [8] afternoon in 1975, Luckily, Roberta Flack had been invited to join the ensemble -- otherwise, they might have touched off a prison riot. The inmates couldn't relate at all to Joni Mitchell's creamy white pastorales. Two minutes into her set, hoots and catcalls sailed up over the makeshift stage, thawing Joni's icy composure. That tomcat face of hers puckered into a wicked sneer. "We came here to give you love," she lectured them. "If you can't handle it, that's your problem." Rob Stoner remembers: "Talk about wrong moves - -- that warmed-over Sixties shit was the worst thing she could have said to them. It was like that chick on _Romper Room_ -- 'Do-Bee says: Respect your visitors!' I mean, you could see guys giving each other looks that said, 'Throw that bitch out here and we'll teach her a thing or two about _clouds_'" It was Allen Ginsberg, of all people, who recaptured the audience's heart. ...... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 16:07:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Alison E Subject: Re: [NortheastJonifest] Re: Jonifest 2003- Is your name on here?? yeah, what she said. plus you might find a husband. didn't work for me, though...ashara STOLE mine! hee hee. ;-) seriously, though, i do plan to go this year even though i have been slacking about getting my materials in. i have been waiting to see if its going to conflict with a conference I have to attend this fall. looks at this point like it won't, so i do plan to attend! and i do plan to send in my deposit very soon, ash, I SWEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! everybody go! its worth it just to see the look on people's faces when they hear smurph do ethel! or is it ethel doing smurph? not to mention ed doing bette midler!

[We interrupt your regular programming ...] Ashara and I were chatting this afternoon about this year's Fest and about JoniFests in general and we agreed that, unlike the discussion list, political subjects don't seem to come up in conversations at Fests. While I can't speak for everyone, I've attended two Fests (2001 and 2002), and the most political thing I ever heard was Kay and Alison singing "The Fiddle and the Drum" last year. (Which was beautiful - do it again!) I believe everyone is just too busy having fun (and shining like the sun) and singing and laughing it all away at all the impromptu whatevers to think about (let alone discuss) anything too serious or unsettling. It's a chance to "escape" and RELAX, and we do a lot of that at Fest! So, while political topics often generate a lot of "heat" here in cyberspace, if you're concerned that you'll hear a lot of "bunk" about [fill in the blank], forget about that. COME TO JONIFEST!! Lori, whose belly still remembers me laughing until it hurt at "The Ganja Line" - sung to the tune of "The Jungle Line" - oh, you had to be there! So - BE THERE!!

The 8 initial recipients should refer to my original announcement for details. I had originally intended to earmark specific discs for certain regions but, since most responses came from the US, I have decided that all discs should be shared worldwide on subsequent offerings. I apologize to those who responded that I could not accommodate on this first leg, but be patient because shortly these 8 individuals will be re-offering this incredible show to 8 others who can burn copies for themselves, and who will then re-offer the original disc to others. Those of you without burners will also have an opportunity to receive a copy of this tremendous show as each recipient will be offering to burn at least one copy for those who are burnerless -- so have faith! The first recipients are: Ken Harvey KJHSF@aol.com Ohio Stu Rutherford stuart.rutherford@hct.ac.ae Abu Dhabi Brian Symes(?) BRIANASYMES@aol.com Oregon Paul Peterson ppeterson4@nyc.rr.com New York Robert Argento robert@argento.se Florida/Sweden Rick Burneson rb.housa@ix.netcom.com California Laura Oppermann est86mlm@ameritech.net Illinois William Burnworth cspringj@earthlink.net Louisiana I will begin mailing these discs within the next day or two. Re-offerings should begin to appear on JMDL within about one week. To avoid confusion, I have posted the Perma-Vine rules below. Enjoy, John in Massachusetts PERMA-VINE RULES: 1) When you receive your Perma-Vine disc you must MAKE COPIES FOR YOURSELF and re-post an offer on JMDL. You will forward the ORIGINAL DISC onto the next recipient (you may NOT keep the original Perma-Vine disc). This method ensures that all participants can get a clean, glitch-free copy of this show directly off the original disc. 2) You must re-post your offer of this vine only to JMDL. If, after two postings within 48 hours, there is no response, you may then, and only then, post the Perma-Vine offer to another group, but you MUST post an announcement to JMDL indicating which group you have transferred this Perma-Vine to. 3) By requesting these Perma-Vine discs, you have agreed to make this show available to those who are unable to burn copies for themselves (and, thus, cannot participate directly in this Perma-Vine). You agree to post an offer(s) on JMDL for at least one burnerless individual as soon as you have forwarded the original Perma-Vine disc onto the next recipient. You may B+P or trade this to as many as you like AFTER you have forwarded the Perma-Vine discs onto the next recipient. 4) You further agree to keep the Perma-Vine disc in your possession no longer than 72 hours before re-offering. 5) Lastly, you agree to ENJOY this music immensely! Here is the track information: 1) That Song About the Midway Joni 2) The Gallery Joni 3) Rainy Day Man James 4) Steamroller Blues James 5) The Priest Joni 6) Carey Joni 7) Carolina in My Mind James 8) California Joni + James 9) For Free Joni + James 10) The Circle Game Joni + James 11) You Can Close Your Eyes Joni + James 12) Hunter Joni 13) River Joni 14) My Old Man Joni 15) A Case of You Joni 16) Carey (unedited intro) Joni ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 02:03:19 -0400 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today in History: April 25 1969: Joni headlined at New York City's Fillmore East, performing two shows at 8 and 11:30 PM.
