I wish she had used more "is" than "was" but whatever. JONI OR JANIS? For a woman who's holding her first elected office, Clinton is a seasoned politician. It's hard to think of a question that, in seven or even 14 minutes' time, she won't be able to turn into a mini position paper. So how about this one: Joni or Janis? Which seminal musician from Hillary's era does the Wellesley graduate favor, Mitchell or Joplin? ''I really like them both, and that's not a cop-out,'' Clinton sad. ``I liked Joni Mitchell because I thought she was a tremendously talented composer and performer. Her song Chelsea Morning served as the basis for my husband and I naming our daughter . . . But I also really admired the grit and the energy and the vulnerability that Janis Joplin displayed in her too short life. It would be great to know what she would be thinking and singing and how rebellious she would be today. It was a shame we lost her so soon.''

I then proceded to watch the first one, last night, in its (almost) entirety and was transported back to last August, reliving a wonderful weekend all over again. When I got to the last song on disc one (Claudia doing a GREAT version of "Conversation" with Anita on percussion & backing vocals and Chris on bass) and they hit that, "Why can't I leeeaaave herrr?", I got goosebumps all over. Thanks, again, to all who performed. I also see on this morning's posts that the dates for next summer's fest at Full Moon are confirmed... I'll have to ask my new boss (whenever I find a job) if I can take some time off to attend (it will help if he or she is a Joni fan, eh?) BTW, I meant to send some of my pictures of last year's fest in to the site where all the stories and people's photos are but I had a problem sending them in. I'm going to try it from the computer of a friend and see if that works. Kenny B P.S. Sorry for all those "b's" in place of apostrophies and quotes on my last post; the result of composing on PageMaker and then pasting into AOL's outgoing mail. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 20:55:10 +0000 From: Chris Marshall Subject: Hejira & DJRD - good fit or misfits?

Having just discovered Joni > via Hejira, I liked DJRD, but Buck was disappointed with it. I'm interested in this. DJRD, for me, continues right where Hejira left off, mainly due to the sound and feel of the thing (back to the words or music first thread then...) In fact I think the lyrics to Jericho and Off Night Backstreet could easily have found a home on Hejira, come to think of it. Anyway, some people have already heard this, some won't have done. So I'll repeat it. :) If you don't think Hejira and DJRD are in any way complimentary, do this (you'll need a computer and a CD writer, BTW). Take Hejira and drop two tracks: Furry and Blue Motel Room. On the end, add the following from DJRD: Cotton Avenue, Talk To Me, Jericho, the very end of Paprika Plains, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Off Night Backstreet. Cram that all on a single disc, listen from end to end. Two things spring from this: yes, I'm a bit of a Jaco fan. Secondly, it all goes together very well in my humble one.

Dylan, I was just looking at that poster on www.jonimitchell.com this past weekend. I was doing some research for an extended essay-with-pictures on THOSL. It must be Kate's harmonic concordance. Everything old is new again. Wally Breese (may he rest in peace) said that promo item was intended to hang over the "M" section in record stores. Back then, you could buy LPs, 8-tracks, and cassettes. If you can believe it, most people didn't have a VCR, and the first CD hadn't been printed. Check it out: http://www.jonimitchell.com/HissingMobile.html If you like, you can read up on context of that album at: www.jonimitchell.com/Fame.html Or, you can just wait for my expanded essay. :) All the best, Jim ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2003 #392 ********************************* ------- 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?
