I REALLY feel - sorry sorry sorry - that Blue deserves a ranking in the top 10 and that Hejira and Court and Spark should be in the 100, but hey, it's fine. By the way, C&S is # 111 -- which is respectable as well. Have been listening to Don Juan's........ lately, which makes me so melancholic, WoW.......

"At that period of my life, I had no personal defenses. I felt like a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes. I felt like I had absolutely no secrets from the world, and I couldn't pretend in my life to be strong. Or to be happy." With song after song of regrets and sorrow and a smoky-blue cover shot of Mitchell on the edge of tears, this may be the ultimate breakup album. Its whispery minimalism is also Mitchell's greatest musical achievement. Stephen Stills and James Taylor lend an occasional hand, but in "California," "Carey" and "This Flight Tonight," Mitchell sounds utterly alone in her melancholy, turning the sadness into tender art.

Hope you have a wonderful day. Seeing how it is also Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. I have been up for a few hours washing the bird and now I am ready for a nice bloody mary so I will toast you momentarily. Love Paz ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 10:54:23 -0800 From: Michael Paz Subject: Happy Thanksgiving A very happy thanksgiving to everyone on the list (even you bloody Brits and Canucks and such, ok ok the Spaniards and French TOO!!!) May the joy of this time be abundant in your homes and let us be truly thankful for all the good stuff and continue to learn from the bad. For all who are sick may you have some moments of peace today and may everyone have a full tummy amongst your family and friends. I will be in the damn kitchen all day cooking the dinner. We usually eat around 5pm and then it should be a lovely evening of music and friends. This years special guests from the JMDL include the ever popular Bobsy Twins Gisele and Cindy. Gisele WILL be my BITCH for the evening and she will play every damn song I wanna hear. Hope to talk to many of you during the day today as is my custom. Well I have to get back to my turkey and the parade on TV. Love and peace to you all.

Just for the record, as I catch up from nearly a week of posts - that was my friend Lee, who made the magnets from Jonifest 2002, not to mention the Joni coaster set ... she happens to be out of work right now - hmmmm maybe we should go into mass production. She also made especially for me, from an old wooden cigar box, a beautiful Joni "stash" box. Ahhh the seeds of creativity Joni has planted! Seeds? - no seeds please!

I however still have 1 copy of this concert on VCD to give away to 1 person who isn't able to burn cds. Please email me if you are interested in this. It's a wonderful concert, clearer than the video trees but shorter (the BBC decided to make it a half hour) so it cuts out the early version of ALL I WANT (at the time probably called ALL I WANTED) but it's a lovely gig, what gets left on. If anyone wants to be on the next perma vine please contact Paul Logan on paullog@earthlink.net Much Joni Jamie Zoob ________________________________________________________________________ Download Yahoo!

This group has really improved the quality of my life. It's given me a reason to write everyday. It's given me a chance to work off some bad karma, by giving back. "It's a rich exchange, it seems to me" but I've received one-hundred times more than I've given. I'm grateful for the fellowship, where the JMDL started, really. To have also found a music-based vacation every year is a dream come true. I've always wanted to be a part-time photo-journalist and now I've found a place where I can even do that. I love to hear everyone sing each year. In 2002, when we had so many of our brightest talents back in the "house", I felt a bit like a father hearing his kid read scripture in front of the congregation for the first time. And there are some amazing surprises- hearing Yael and Victor sing together for the first time- like peanut butter and chocolate. Thanks *VERY* much, all of you. I'm not marking this NJC 'cause it's about the list itself, the JMDL-politic. All the best, Lama PS, I'm looking forward to buying a soft-focus lens to make all of you look a bit less wrinkled at the JoniFest-2020. Let's tend the garden. np: Claud9 doing "That Song About The Midway" in 2002 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 15:31:17 -0500 From: "Lama, Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Re: Our Shooting Star's Missing Star Kakki said, >From the remarks you and others have recalled from Toronto, I definitely get the impression that Joni doesn't have the whole story on it all. I mean, gee, someone/some group in Toronto had to pay for the star there - they don't just materialize like magic from the art gods ;-) > That sounds right. If her fans pulled the levers, it would be free to her. A gift of appreciation. It might help her forgive the industry too if they put their evil money to good use, like giving her some "props" as Bryan Thomas would say. She thinks in metaphor. Here's the metaphor to reach her. I'd pitch it like this: "Okay, the industry is a cesspool, like a stagnant pond. Agreed. Every Buddhist knows that the lily pond has a dank, corrupt, oozing muck at the bottom. Picture: "Water Lilies: Morning", by Claude Monet That's not the important part. The important part of the lily pond is the blossom, floating miraculously on the surface. It is the manifestation of the divine in the material world. You are lily floating in the music industry. Let us give you your due." Have her call me. I'll straighten her out. :) All the best, Lama NP: "Cold Blue Steel" Bryan Thomas'es version in 2002 [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of Water Lilies, 1916 by Claude Monet.jpg] [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of Water Lilies, Morning by Claude Monet.jpg] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 22:37:50 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: [NortheastJonifest] Re: Our Shooting Star's Missing Star --- "Lama, Jim L'Hommedieu" wrote: > "Okay, the industry is a cesspool, like a stagnant > pond.

I took this picture in the summer that I call "Monet with garbage" because it reminds me of a Monet painting. It's down by Humber Bay where my kids and I like to go to get a little country right in the city but people are such pigs, there's all this crap they've just thrown away in this creek. It's still kind of pretty ... but it's full of garbage! ===== Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We all live so close to that line, and so far from satisfaction ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of Monet with garbage.jpg] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2003 01:53:18 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: cath's monet it is quite beautiful, catherine!!! only, i shudder when i think of all the mosquitoes that might breed and prosper in that water! wally, putting up with the first mosquito bites of the season ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2003 02:22:03 -0500 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today in History: November 28 1970: Joni performed solo at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
