Believe me, you will not regret it!! :-) Hugs, Ashara www.jonifest.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Jul 2003 17:48:02 -0400 From: "michael o'malley" Subject: CL- new joni cover Just back from a sultry summer afternoon outdoor show at Quebec's anuual summer music fest, which featured a standout performance by a young Canadian jazz singer, Coral Eagan. (She was accompanied by a guitarist, whose name escapes me.) About halfway through her 60-minute set, she said `` The next song I'm about to sing is a sad song, written by Joni Mitchell. It's about a girl, a childhood friend, hiding from the police under a bridge in Saskatoon.`` She launched into a very sweet and langorous interpretation, adding a long melancholy scat section after the lines about the foster dad. It was well received by the crowd. Of course I yelled out ``Yay Joni``, to which she replied, ``Obviously there are some Joni Mitchell fans out there; I for one, am one.`` She ended her set with an unusual jazzy rendition of Lennon's Imagine. After the show, we met and I thanked her. She described how difficult it is for singers to interpret Joni's songs without copying her style. She said, you can't escape the music, and there are so many words. A familiar refrain, no doubt. You'll have to watch out for this young lady; I think this is an artist who's going to go places. I wish Mr Muller could have been there. Who knows, the song might turn up on a future recording...

I'd love for her to record it, obviously...there's only one studio cover of "Cherokee Louise" so far, a real beauty by a Spanish jazz singer named Itxaso. I also heard a live version at Wall to Wall by a Canadian singer named Lorinda Lisitza. I found her acapella rendition very moving; indeed this is truly a song that deserves a bigger audience - such a tragic story of childhood innocence lost...

Thanks, Catherine. That song is just one of many fine gifts from our neighbors to the North. It's a rich exchange, it seems to me. A warm arrangement. Lama Catherine said, >>Hey, Happy 4th, Americanos! and remember that song was written by a Canadian!>>> ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 06 Jul 2003 02:00:25 -0400 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today in History: July 6 1968: Joni performed tonight at the Bitter End in New York City.
