Thanks > a bunch!~Sara~ I would agree with those who suggested The Fiddle and the Drum. I think it's Joni's greatest achievement of musical political statement, one in which the art of its music equals the art of its message. - -Fred ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2003 10:28:49 -0800 From: DOVETUSAI/ Fabio e Luigi Subject: Joni 1,2 and 3 Hi everybody, Hi Bob, I'm Fabio, from Milan, Italy. My friend Vincenzo ( nasty boy!) speard out the voice about my Website ( www.dovetusai.it ) where you can see two of the flower vases that I designed called Joni 1,2 and 3. It was not my intention to let everybody know through the list.... Since this has already happened ( Vincenzo I'll make you pay ) I would like to explain how to get to see those pictures ( it seems like Bob didn't make it ). Once you have clicked on www.dovetusai.it and seen the Intro, you should click on Collection.Then click on the upper left side on Photo and start clicking on the little arrow and keep clicking untill you see... Joni 2 and 3. Hope you like them...

And the reference to the "sign off prayer" in "You turn me on. . . " How many people under the age of 30 even know what a "sign off prayer" is? Or a "transistor". Funny. Of course, I'm preaching to the choir here, but I just love the way Joni paints a picture with words. Her songs are so very visual. (Well, she is a visual artist.)

I really appreciate this discussion. . . Actually one of the things I like most about Joni is her willingness to take a stand. . . . Joni, you have inspired me endlessly with your political comments/ expression. When your life is over (this one) and you look back on it, can you say to yourself. . ." I stood up for what I believed in. . . I was not complicit?" Joni can do that. . .and sometimes it's no easy road. Joni, You have fortitude.

I also hear any of them throwing in a breathy sax solo much like the rendition of "Girl from Impanema". That's just me though. I like it better just the way Joni sings it. I actually love the raspiness in her voice as she sings the song. Her tones go right through me as she sings that first refrain of "Last Chance Lost..." It jumps out at you and maybe that's why someone else may not like it. It doesn't have the smoothness of perhaps "Turbulent Indigo". I like the contrast! Thanks for sharing Russell!

The first time I heard this song, the first thing I thought of was what a great 'chanteuse' number this would make. I can hear Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald, any of the current cabaret artists (Marcovicci (sp?), Weslia, Diane Krall, Azure Mc Call (Hi Bob, LG).....and as for the guys, Tony Bennett, Sinatra......get the drift? This song just proves yet again what an incredible composer Our Queen really is. This is so far away from her usual...(as if anything she does is usual) style.....A really terrific number...and I love the performance on TI. The bitterness and resignation in the lyrics and delivery go right to my heart. Just a few words in the defense of what could have been a classic jazz lieder standard if it had been written 50 years ago. She's timeless, folks! I'd like to also stick up for the Tenth World. That whole 'side' (LP-wise) Otis & Mar, 10th World and Dreamland make up a beautiful and seamless 'suite' if you will. If anything on the FABULOUS DJRD needs to go it's Talk to Me.......Sure, it's amusing, clever, etc....but it's the one I always skip. My 2 clams.
