We are both passionate Joni fans. As a special treat I played my old copy of "Tribute to Joni" and HORRORS! my VCR ate the tape. Does anyone know where I can obtain another copy? Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Helga, are you still on the list? If so, drop me a line. I'd like to know how you are. If not, could someone pass along an email address? Helga and i were in constant communication until last year when i got too busy for friends with exams and stuff, and, in the rush somewhere, helga's address got misplaced.

I've got a first gen master that I taped directly off the tube - it still has all the commercials in it. Happy to make a copy for you if you like, email me offlist for details if you're interested.

Laura ********Eric's original post: In order to enable latecomers to the list or new traders have a chance of listening to Bob Muller's incredible compilation of covers of Joni's songs - some 1500 in all - this begins the launch of the Perpetual Joni Covers Trains. For those not familiar with trading trains, here is how they work. When the disks come to you, you make copies of as much of the contents as you want, and then you post back to this list offering to pass the disks along to the next person. You do not keep the originals -- you keep the copies you made for yourself. On most trains, the convention is that you make the copies and send the masters along within two days. For these trains, you must agree to turn them around within one week. Sometimes the offer goes unclaimed. Bob and I expect that to happen from time to time. So, by participating, you agree to just hang on to the disks and then make another offer a month or so later (or to respond if somebody posts a grovel looking for them). In theory, if everybody takes good care of the disks, wrapping them well, not letting them get scratched, etc. and passes them along, these covers will run on the tracks for years. Bob copied 50+ disks for me to launch this and I have copied them so there is a LOT of time sunk into offering these up. Nobody is going to monitor the progress of these trains so if you participate and then lose the disks or fail to re-offer them, you will have kept others from enjoying them. When you post an offer, please include these "rules". One final note, I know a few folks like to compress these into MP3s. If you want to, go ahead but please do not send MP3s to the next person - MP3s permanently delete some of the "data" and sound quality degrades so please pass the masters along. So, anybody who would like to receive volumes 21-30, please send me: 1. Your mailing address and 2. Your promise to re-offer, etc. If you want to know what is on the disks, please see this link: http://www.jmdl.com/covers/byvolume.cfm ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2004 08:24:06 EDT From: AsharaJM@aol.com Subject: Re: Tribute to Joni In a message dated 6/2/2004 3:14:07 AM Eastern Standard Time, sueglu@cox.net writes: As a special treat I played my old copy of "Tribute to Joni" and HORRORS! my VCR ate the tape.

I am telling you, I have been thinking of this quite a lot: *Joni creating a children's album*. . .. this is my dream for her right now (not that I have a right to dream for her) Do you know in my town we have 11 hours a day of children's public Telievision? It's good stuff too. I can see it now. . . Joan, I hope this message finds it way to you. . . You don't have to perform live, unless you want to. You can have pre recorded children's videos. You can produce them yourself if you want. You can share your music with a most important audience. Some of it can be your own writing. Some can be adapted/ recreated from some of your previous song writng. . . You can share your gift with the world. .. with the little people. .. introducing: Joni Mitchell's Children's Album. . .. you can do some children's standards too. RE: the objectives. . . let us start with the objectives. . . Q. Why do a children's album? A. To spread peace, harmony, ecology, respect for all, animals. no boundaries; and love of learning to the one's who have their minds wide open . . . C H I L D R E N ! (in the special joni style) "London Bridge is falling down. . . save the people in our town. . ." My dream is this. . . I believe this can make you happy too Joni. And have inspiration from the children in your life. . . . What do you sing with your grandchildren? . . the inspiration starts here. . . oh JONI, YOU hAVe been thiinking about this? I will dream a little dream. Question for good Joni friends: What ideas do you have for a joni Children's album? What children's standards would be good for her to cover? Are there any songs she can adapt to make them for a child audience? What classic stuff can she sing? I am very excited a the possibilty of an album and perhaps guest appearances on children's shows. (I saw James Taylor on Sesame Street. I thought it was terrific.) Okay, the mention of this Chelsea morning book is a good sign. I feel this tide rising. . .

And I'm sure that Mr. Bush is glad to see something else in the headlines - hey I'll bet if he was a Joni-covers fan those slumping approval ratings would go up up up! I wanted to fling some of these around the world, so I thought I'd do a little fun trivia-quiz thingy. Now here's the deal...there's no rush to be the first to get back to me, so take a deep breath, and take all the time you need - no stress. Everyone who responds will go into the hat (their names, that is, not the people themselves) and I'll draw FIVE, count 'em FIVE lucky winners!* *this assumes of course that at least 5 people will respond. You don't even have to get all of these right; indeed I'll be surprised if somebody gets ALL of them. OK, here's what you have to do - I'll name a city (or some name of a township or locality or something like that, don't get all technical on me), and you tell me the name of the Joni song it's mentioned in. Again, I repeat - you don't have to get them all, but you DO have to come up with at least one, which should be no prob for anyone. But have some fun with it, challenge yourself, and see how many you can come up with off the top of your head. (If you want to cheat & use Les' lyric search thing you can, but where's the fun in that?) So here we go: Amsterdam Baljennie Brooklyn Buffalo Des Moines Detroit Havana Hollywood Las Vegas London Los Angeles Maidstone Manhattan Memphis Miami New York City Nome (not a typo) Raleigh Savannah Tokyo Don't send your answer back to the list, just send it to me offlist. Thanks in advance to all of the fun-lovin' Jonilistas out there! I'll draw names on Saturday morning and announce the winners - good luck. And speaking of winners, congrats to you Jenny for a rockin' logo!

Palis" Subject: unsuccessful with joni in eBay Hi y'all, I just want to vent my frustration for never winning a Joni album on eBay! I always bid on albums I don't have yet (T'log, STAS, LOTC) but someone ALWAYS snipes my bid at the last minute. As a poor graduate student my resources limit me to certain amounts, but to NEVER win a Joni album since October? I am probably an all-time loser in the Hall of Shame...hahaha. Having said that, I heard a local Chapel Hill band this afternoon playing free on Franklin. And the lead singer sang "Blue Yellow Taxi" which borrows heavily from Adam Duritz (sp?) of Counting crows. Nice rendition. Had I known about it, I should have taped it for Bob the CoverMeister.

A puzzling choice for a kids book, as the School Library Journal said: "Mitchell's lyrics are sophisticated and bemusing, a shrug at life's bewildering disappointments right to the last bittersweet line, ``I really don't know life at all.'' It's hardly appropriate for the picture book audience." Have a nice, meaningless life, kids!

Joni enters the kindergarten class, swathed in black, like the outfit she's wearing in the Hejira pictures. She has the beret. Very Hejira but thirty years later. She's smoking Gauloises. She has acquired zees French accent. She stands with one hand on her hip, the other holds la Gauloise in front of her, sort of pointing it as she gestures, shrugs, and begins to speak, "Now leeesten to me, mes petits, ecoutez-moi bien. Layfe eeez a beetch... and zen you daye..." Then she begins to sing, very Piaf-like, "Ay've loooked at layfe from bosse saydes now Frrrrom op and down and steeeel zomehow Eet's layfe's eeeluzions Ay rrrecall Ay reeaalllly.... don't... know.... layfe.... et all."
