Couldn't say how accurate it is but enough effort seems to have been put into it. I'd be happy to send photo copies of any of the songs to people who wanted to have a go coz' I know a lot of her piano music isn't all that easy to find.

Stereophile magazine9s Recording of the month is k.d. Lang9s Hymns of the 49th Parallel. From the review: ...lang, more than any other pop vocalist of the last few generations, has an instrument whose tone, volume, and range are without equal. Joni Mitchell9s 3A Case of You is another masterful vocal performance: just lang, with Teddy Borowiecki playing an effects-free acoustic piano. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 17:53:18 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: What's with the ghoulish hand? I've seen the cover of TBOS a number of times now, and just today I was looking at the cover painting in detail (as best as I CAN look at it on my computer screen). Besides the fact that the self-portrait is from a 15-year old photo (cheap visual plastic surgery!) and the eyes aren't right (too high on the face, too beady, too close together), what stuck out today was the GHOUL hand! Look at that left hand...brownish-green, gnarly and nasty. Looks like something from "Night Of The Living Dead" or something...why in the world would someone use green paint to define their own flesh tone? Yikes.

D'OH, as Homer would say: all I had to do was read the word balloons and connect them to the songs! I'm glad I figured it out myself before someone pointed out my own stupidity to me! Record 1: Side one: Cotton Avenue Talk to Me Jericho AND Side four (yes, sides one and four go together you young whippersnappers!): Don Juan's Reckless Daughter Off Night Backstreet The Silky Veils of Ardor Goes in the sweeve in which Joni's word bawwoon weads: "In My Dweems We Fwy" [cf. end of "Silky Veils"] Side 2: Paprika Plains AND Side 3: Otis and Marlena The Tenth World Dreamland Goes in the sleeve in which blackface, platform shoes Joni says (in the balloon): "Mooslems, Mooslems! Heh, Heh, Heh" and Joni in pretty sheer long dress & sandals replies: "Baila Mi Rumba" You'll be happy to know, Bob, that mine were in the wrong inner sleeves, though the records WERE put into the carboard thingy--oh yeah, the jacket in the norhtern rather than southern hemisphere order! - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com]On Behalf Of SCJoniGuy@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 9:13 PM To: rflynn@frontiernet.net; joni@smoe.org Subject: Re: Good for a laugh, now proper DJRD etiquette **they have different photos of Joni in various (dis)guises and word balloons.

Silly Bob! I'd be curious to see the portrait in larger size. It's hard to tell if the colour is really meant to be on the green side or if it just doesn't translate very well to the computer screen. What strikes me as kind of weird is how closely the picture is cropped (and inside a frame that seems a bit overwhelming, IMO) I'm always bothered by pictures, especially portraits, that are square. (You're so square, baby, I DO care!) I hate to gripe, because everyone's a critic, I suck at art, and I know nothing about design in any case, but somehow, I think if the portrait had gone on the cover without the frame, the general look might have been better.
