(he hadn't heard of david yet)...it turns out it was david bringing joni in to record some demos for the first time...she was playing a ducimer & he'd never seen one before...he described how he watched in awe as this beautiful young girl sat in the studio's low light & sang song after amazing song in her beautiful voice... oh to be a fly on the wall at that session! > my mother (who died in 1990)loved "Circle Game" and would ask me to play it & sing it >>for her when I was 11 and 12, which I did, but it always made her cry. kate www.katebennett.com [demime 0.97c removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of clip_image002.gif] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 22:45:31 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: RE: Joni vs. Laura and a rant about 'the industry' -LONG "Laura Nyro made a choice that has tempted me on many occasions," Mitchell demurred. "And that was to lead an ordinary life. . . . Which is brave and tough in its own way." i loved the stuff from the bio heather...thanks! and the above is one of the most touching & insightful things i have ever heard (read) joni say (as opposed to written in song)... if joni was inspired to write again, that would be a GREAT song... kate www.katebennett.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2003 02:25:32 -0400 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today in History: July 9 1983: Joni performed at the Palace Theater in Columbus, Ohio - ---- For a comprehensive reference to Joni's appearances, consult Joni Mitchell ~ A Chronology of Appearances: http://www.jonimitchell.com/appearances.html ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2003 #219 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
