I was playing HITS in the kitchen when I lived with him and 'Woodstock' came on and he said that he knew the song so I asumed he was familiar either with the Matthews Southern Comfort version or the one by CSN&Y. I said "did you know Joni wote it?". He then said in a very patronizing way "Steve, it's a very famous song I doubt very much that Joni Mitchell wrote it"! I didn't bother to argue with him because he doesn't like to be proven wrong. Sometime after he noticed in a sheet music book that the song 'Woodstock' was written by Joni Mitchell! He seems to have such a dislike for her. I remembered saying that I'm going to learn to play the guitar just like her. He then said that he can tell she uses different tunings (which I didn't know at the time) and that they are 'cheating'? He just doesn't have a clue and really resents the fact that I (try to) play in different tunings. Oh well that's my dad!

This is a special show for me because it falls close to the anniversary which doesn't need mentioning, and it's also 2 days before my birthday, so this is my birthday party of sorts, as well as a festive antidote to today's heavy load. Kayzoos will be in operation. I will sing at least one, and probably two, Joni covers. Not usually kosher to do more than one cover by the same artist in a one-hour set, but it's my party, and I'll sing Joni if I want to!! So, if you're game, I'd love to see you. I know there are some NYC listers whom I have not met, perhaps you'd like to come out for this one. I can't guarantee you'll like the show, I guess, but I can say with confidence that I don't suck. Beyond that, it's really a matter of opinion. ;-) So here are the details: saturday, september 13 at 8:30PM KAY ASHLEY with AVIV ROTH at SAM'S 263 west 45 street new york, ny no cover charge http://www.kayashley.com http://www.avivroth.com I go on at 8:30, Aviv goes on at 9:30. I do hope to see some of you! Love, Kay _____________________________________________________________ The information in this email and in any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.

It seems that he has recorded an album of covers that include Tom Petty's 'Last Dance With Mary Jane', The Pretenders' 'Brass In Pocket' and also a completely HORRIFYING version of Joni's 'River'.

I remember a bit of a spat a few years ago between two alleged "blue-eyed soul" bands, Simply Red and Wet Wet Wet (there may have been worse-named groups in the history of recorded music, but there numbers are few), which culminated in the Wets' manager sharing the following pearl of wisdom: "Marti Pellow has got more talent and soul in his *penis* than Mick Hucknall has in his entire body" end quote.

I think it is fairly accurate. Okay, so > she isn't a folksinger but niether is she a prophet. What I guess I had not made clear is that I in no way had indicated to my brother that I thought she was a prophet (which I do not, anyway). My comments no doubt made clear that I admired her perspecacity, but he volunteered the prophet barb. As far as the homely part goes............. So, I object to the words "just", "homely" and "folksinger", and whoever said anything about prophet ? I think he was trying to get under my skin.

She is not some stone commission like a statue in a park. She is flesh and blood and vision. She is howling in the dark. Maybe that's what he meant to say? Interesting how people are about Joni's looks. I've heard a lot of people say she's ugly. I don't get it - I find her beautiful.

I was reading a magazine last night and came upon a Joni reference that I thought I'd share. It is from a mini interview with opera singer Renee Fleming in "More" magazine Sept. 2003 issue: "I am a Joni Mitchell fanatic. I discovered her when I was seventeen, and she's a touchstone for me. Obviously, classical music is my real love. It's also my work. Listening to Joni Mitchell is a form of escapism." Also, I have to comment on how much I am enjoying the thread about the most nasty Joni comments, etc. I hear a lot of that, myself, because my husband just hates Joni and complains about her (mostly just to get my goat, I think - - it's not hard to do, unfortunately!) Anyway, last Christmas I had asked for Travelogue as one of my gift ideas, and my husband actually got it for me. The funny part is the gift card he attached: "Merry Christmas Kerry! You know I love you if I buy you Joni..." :) Kerry _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with MSN Messenger 6.0 -- download now! http://www.msnmessenger-download.com/tracking/reach_general ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 02:07:09 -0400 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today in History: September 12 1979: Joni began a five-night engagement at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
