And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look Behind from where we came And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.

I recently added some transcriptions - Harry's House/Centerpiece and You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio from Dylan Rush and Baby Blue from Vicenzo Mancini. Today I added Snakes and Ladders. You may recall my post about listening to CMIARS. What an album! I still don't really get Dancing Clown or The Tea Leaf Prophecy, but I find all the rest of it really marvelous. I even enjoyed Cool Water for the first time. So many interesting experiments, especially Reoccurring Dream, Snakes and Ladders, and Number One. And at the end of all this rich audio fabric there's the pristine A Bird That Whistles - like a lemon sorbet after a huge meal. And well, I was just listening to all the tracks and when Snakes And Ladders came on I suddenly heard a possible tuning for it which worked when I tried it out last night. Snakes And Ladders is like an updated version of The Last Time I Saw Richard - Harr! y's House/Centerpiece - The Arrangement - same theme about how men get taken advantage of by beautiful women who don't work for a living. I wonder what got her going on that issue that she wrote so many songs about it? Anyway, happy Joni's birthday to everyone and Happy Birthday to Joni, if anyone's checking in for her.

Date: 11/7/03 6:47:48 AM Eastern Standard Time From: MINGSDANCE To: today@nbc.com Hey Anne, Kati ,Matt, and Al, Today is Joni Mitchell's 60th birthday. If you could please recognize this because it is a great milestone for the woman who changed the face for women in the music business. She is an American treasure and legand. No one compares. You may ask Sarah McLachlan about Joni's influence on her music and style. I know Katie loves Joni she said so a couple of weeks ago. The day before the blackout in August I met Anne outside your show and she stopped and took time to talk for a short moment and I find that totaly admriable of her to take the time to do that. What a sweetheart to treat an out-a-towner like me that way. Thank you Anne, you are a gem! You guys are the BEST! Thank you for every day!

This is a magical date: we're celebrating the birth, the life of the greatest SingerSongwriter of all time: Joni Mitchell! Thanks you for all this Beauty! In the high school I work there's an experiment taking place in playtime: it's a "radio station" open to pupils who want to participate: Today, our truly friend & fan Emiliano managed to take care of the entire programme: in first set (from 10:10 to 1:30) Morning Morgatown was heared through all the High school, delighting every people's ears! Emiliano took the mike to anounce a very special edition of the show: the birthday fest of the ONE; he talked about growing on, developing the art with no boundaries, etc. Note: the official language of this radio show is Galician, not spanish! Then played All I Want & Electricity. After a short speech about accepting differences and weirdness, Twisted put an joyful en to this first set. (Emiliano then ran to the smoker's room for a quick rest before explaining differences between emic/etic, but that's another story :-) in second set (12:10 to 12:30), after hearing Passion Play (When All The Slaves Are Free) took place a passionate lecture of its lyrics (somewhat edited to adjust to short time). Then, one of Emiliano's favourite speeches about the need to take one's helm, to be the captain of our fate, to try to arrange one's troubles instead of waiting for another one to resolve them (alluding to polio illness, etc). Show came to its end with a medley of Circle Game/Dreamland. Many pupils (mostly girls) came to ask about these songs, and some of them declared enjoying it! My Best to You! Have a Wonderful time!

Some samples: - --- Thank God for Bob Dylan. If he hadn't kicked down the barriers and cleared the way, nobody would know about the finest singer-songwriter of his generation: Joni Mitchell. If you think of Joni as a hippie chick with a guitar, you haven't even scratched the surface. - --- Anyway, Joni doesn't work with everyone who rings her up but Charles Mingus would not take "no" for an answer. I guess he saw a friend of spirit in her strong will. So, Charlie gave her some tunes to work with. Joni wrote stories about Mingus, Lester Young, a lucky dry cleaner in Las Vegas, and the wolf spirit within all artists. The last one is especially poiniant because it was Charlie's farewell to Lester and here it's become Joni's farewell to Charlie too. If you think of Joni as a hippie chick with a guitar, you haven't a clue. For "downbeat magazine", jazz reviewer Leonard Feather started out with "This is a wonderful piece of work." --- - -------- If you think of Joni as a hippie chick with a guitar, you don't yet have a clue about her gifts. - ---- This album is Joni's literary masterwork. She masterfully tackles the Big Themes like honor, love, the church, civic duty, and self-destruction. If you think of Joni as a hippie chick with a guitar, she broke free from that stereotype way before she built this album. Joni put a synthesizer on top of Burndi warrior drums long before Paul Simon went to South Africa. A lot of what Joni laid down here in 1975 is related to the slinky-cool music with cynically hot lyrics that Walter and Donald create on their Steely Dan albums. Joni's birthday is November 7th. Thanks for EVERYTHING, Joni! ALL of it. - ---------- This album is Joni's first live album. For many of us, this album carried the first time we heard her laughter and charismatic between-song storytelling. Unlike the first CD pressings in the US, this 2 LP set has all of the patter that was ever made public. This album is back in the good old days when Joni played piano. - --------- This is the album that defined for our generation, the pinnacle of songwriting when an artist is holding nothing back. She was hurting yet, luckily for us, she had some amazingly incisive and often breathtakingly cathartic skill with rendering a story. This is not navel-gazing. This is the sound of a phoenix burning and beginning again. - -------- Joni's first album (often referred to incorrectly as "Joni Mitchell") showed us, right from the start, that she was not going to automatically deliver what people expected. Minimally engineered by David Crosby, Joni was mostly writing on the guitar. The final song CACTUS TREE foreshadowed a life of constant travel and short-lived but passionate attachments. - ----------- Lama ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2003 10:03:11 -0500 From: Subject: MINGUS, the cd, ROCKS On today,Joni's birthday, I want to set the record straight on MINGUS.

Usually, there is a common theme or thread, though it is not a requirement. On Fridays, the 9 a.m. hour is the show-within-a-show "Women's Music Hour," and consequently, the Select-A-Sets, like the rest of the hour, feature female musicians. Today, the Select-A-Set was: Folky Joni, represented by "Big Yellow Taxi" from "Ladies of the Canyon"; "Jazzy Joni," represented by "Drycleaner from Des Moines" from "Mingus"; and "Mature Joni," represented by "A Case of You" from "Both Sides Now." I did not catch the name of the set submitter. During the hour, also observed were the Nov. 8 birthdays of Bonnie Raitt (turning 54) and Rickie Lee Jones (turning 49). The in-studio guest was (guessing at the given-name spelling) Kyler England, from North Carolina (I think she said Raleigh, but the signal faded at that point), now based in New York City. Kyler cited Joni as an influence, and said her mother "always played Joni."

Trying to connect today with Henry (sigh) from Full Moon to finish contract negotiations for Jonifest and the first thing he said was "Happy Birthday!!" I said, "OK..........uuuuuuuhhhhhhhh........thanks?" He said, "It's Joni's Birthday!!" Wow. I was really impressed that he knew that. The VERY happiest of birthdays to you, Joni. May you be forever as happy as you have made me with your music.

Even though I only discovered your music seven years ago -- your music has become the central music in my life and has had a tremendous impact on me. Enjoy this your Diamond Jubilee!

But that's not what matters. What matters is that she has touched my life, and influenced my music more than even The Beatles (and that's saying alot!). So Here's To You, Joni...you are the most gifted writer, singer, and performer I've ever seen. The most beautiful Woman, in every way." Sounds like you like her, eh Russell ? As one of the Good Morning America hosts said to the fan in the audience who proposed to Joni on TV - "Get in line, pal" "And I'm sure if the Clintons were still in the White House, November 7th would be proclaimed a National Holiday!" Er - I think they had their chance - they needed 12 years to get that bill through Congress ? 8 wasn't enough ? "I interviewed her for the first time (and Leonard C. whom she was "going with" at the time) in her dressing room backstage at The Troubadour in June of 1968. I've met with Joan several times since then, and have seen her live (only solo with her Martin D-28) 35 times." If anyone would like to contact me regarding my Joni experiences, please feel free to contact me directly. All The Best!" Well, Russell, may I suggest that you save yourself dozens of individual replies but just letting us all know at once about your experiences - we all want to know.

And their songs on the dvd are both at the end of Side One, separated only by Kris Kristofferson singing "Me & Bobby McGee." Hmmm - that's the kind of clue I was looking for. So there is more than a fair chance they met. And maybe traded notes. I wonder when exactly Justin started playing in open G. Still haven't studied the DVD. Plus, I do not know which albums they released before Isle of Wight. Worth a look maybe. Anyone know exactly when Isle of Wight took place, and which Moodies albums preceded it ?

Just to clarify my earlier posts - my wife is the Moody Blues fan, and I think it is hard to write good melodies with really simple chord structures and still make them sound fresh. I think Hayward was very good at that. I apologize for any possible connection I may have suggested might have ever existed between the Moody Blues and Joni (such as mentioning them in the same encylopedia, much less the same sentence). ;-) Bobsart ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2003 23:36:57 -0500 From: "Marianne Rizzo" Subject: Birthday reckless daughter noble as a nickel chief open prairie woman Joni, many many more. . . .
