Probably Coconut Grove area helped a lot with that. And the large Jewish population that had moved from NY made it very Manhattan like at the time. I see Richie Havens perform here in the Tampa Bay area and he talks about those days in Miami often.

I read in last saturday's El Pais (I've only read it today :-( : Rosie Thomas: Only with laughter can you win: Her debut in 2002 "When we were small" served to awaken the curiosity on this Seattle's songwriter more known by her alter ego, Sheila, a kind of comic Stand-Up Comedy style. The 2nd musical work of the serious side from Thomas confirms expectatives. Her heavenly voice charms ["embelesa", truly] while the lyrics inject melancholy. Other instruments join the piano and acoustic guitar and a colaboraters's court homely. And the title is a wink to her admiration to Joni Mitchell.

I imagine that most of the people who DO know about this kind of stuff will already know of the address below but I include it just in case anyone doesn't know it. The mention the other day of Walter Piston reminded me of Leonard Bernstein's series of 'Young People's Concerts' and the accompanying book which discusses myxolydian aspects of 'Norwegian Wood' and the Kinks' 'You Really Got Me', and the Dorian mode of 'Eleanor Rigby' among other 'modern' songs. http://www.looknohands.com/chordhouse/piano/ mike in barcelona NP CSN - Live Acoustic - Helplessly Hoping ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 08:58:49 -0800 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: RE: Tom Rush Robban, it was nice to read your recollections of tom... He is such a great performer...poignant & funny & very accessible to his fans...he has a fan letter you can sign up for... For his 60th birthday party he invited folks to join him in st thomas for several days which must have been so much fun! Who knows, they may do that again which wouldn't be too far from you if you are in florida...It was remakrable how he picked the great songwriters like joni, jackson & james before they were famous in their own right... He's a very good songwriter himself...

I believe he was still studying at Harvard when I first saw him. Perhaps he started playing in Cambridge for a few dollars and the fun of it, as many of us old "folkies" used to do. " Well, this helps explain something to me. Back when I was a junior at Harvard (1975-76) I took a course in Folklore and Mythology from Professor Albert Lord. One day he had Tom Rush come in for a special lecture, and for two hours Rush taught us about folk music, demonstrating on his guitar. I wonder now whether or not Rush was a student of Professor Lord's - must have been. I did not know much about Tom Rush or Joni Mitchell at the time, but a year later I was a bona fide Joniphile, after hearing "For the Roses" and "Court and Spark" for the first time. Ciao, Dave. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 15:05:57 -0800 From: "Victor Johnson" Subject: RE: Joni & Neil - a pop quiz the correct answer is none of the above.

But I have off Sunday and Monday so Friday still seems like the start of the weekend and I need a little lift to get me through tomorrow. My wife is working this evening and I'm home all alone so what do I do? I pour a glass of Forest Glen Merlot, break off a piece of that crusty sourdough baguette Ro bought earlier in the day, pop in the Court & Spark CD and fall down in the recliner as I listen to Joni with the lights out... sipping the wine... feasting on that great bread.

I'll begin. It was a small local hangout for gay men in downtown Montreal called the Agora, probably a Saturday night, maybe 8 years ago, regular patrons, in town with my friend John. He sang ``Rocky Racoon``. Not to be outdone, to my delight BYT was on the roster (I know that one, thought I) so I gave that a go. Wondering if any other Joni tunes have ever ended up on the karaoke lists? And who may have sung them ??

Down to You.... and life is good again! oh, i know *exactly* how you feel! my heart glows and i sink into bliss when i hear the first few bars of "Court and Spark". same for Down To You - I love the first line - "Everything comes and goes/Marked by lovers and styles of clothes". I love this because it is so dismissive and yet it always proves to be true. people are so insecure but in the end everything always turns out alright. just beautiful. recently in Sydney we've been having huge thunderstorms w/lightning... one such night it was getting particularly violent, so I put on Joni's version of "Stormy Weather"... and then Both Sides, Now came on. was that ever magic. i thought of rachel when it came on - it's her favourite version - and it suited the scene so well and so beautifully, especially given the clouds involved. i really don't know where i'd be without joni today. _________________________________________________________________ Hot chart ringtones and polyphonics.
