Sorry if I'm way behind on this but I looked up the track listing for Dreamland: The Very Best of Joni Mitchell. The Very Best of Joni Mitchell??? Please tell me this ain't right but according to Amazon track 12 is Dancin' Clown. No, no, no! Geffen Years was understandable, Survival well permissible I guess, but Dancin' Clown on DTVBOJM. Nothing Can Be Done doesn't do it for me either. DTVB&WOJM. In future I will refer to this one simply as B&W. The Rhino e-card preview: I like the 'young' portrait of her looking out the window which I think should have been the cover, imo - but not sure about the cover portrait with the flowers - composition uninteresting and flat, but we still love her.

No, no, no! If only it was a mistake, Willy. Apparantly it is the truth. Joni obviously was not taking clues from the JMDL song poll: _http://www.jmdl.com/gallery/songpoll.cfm_ (http://www.jmdl.com/gallery/songpoll.cfm) which shows Dancin' Clown with a firm grip on 170th place (out of 174 choices). It is an awful, putrid, wretched thing. Bad enough that it was released originally, then tossed in the Geffen box. Now it's being foisted on the public again! It's cruel & unusual punshment I tell ya!

Those of us of a certain age will remember the sound vividly. Follow the lyrics: >How can they ignore their friends? Easy to be proud. Easy to say, "No". Especially people who care about stran-gers, who care about evil and social injustice." He plays an rapidly ascending gospel figure with very little effect, then it breaks into a hugely warberling effect on held notes. I'm pretty sure that's right because on graduation night in 1973 (WHOA!!) a local band played it. The enclosure was as big as a full-sized Klipshorn but it had 2 horns. From the console, they dialed in the speed of rotation. "The sound was tough, man. So tough." I don't have a clue why we said, "tough" instead of "cool". All the best, Lama Tim quoted a eulogy which said, >The slow-scan "chorale" function provides motion that to some degree simulates the effect of sound emanating from pipes spread out in space relative to the observer (hearer), and the fast "tremolo" function simulates theater-organ tremulants as the sound heard varies in both volume and, due to the Doppler effect, apparent pitch, as well as changes associated with directionality > ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 19:13:48 -0700 From: Randy Remote Subject: Re: Leslie speaker inventor dies at 93 (SJC) jlamadoo@fuse.net wrote: > I don't have a clue why we said, "tough" instead of "cool".
