As I usually do when I get a new biography, I checked for any Joni mentions in the index and found the following: > By 1987, Kirsty and Steve [Lillywhite] had moved to a large house in the affluent west London suburb of Ealing. They would host the rock and roll equivalent of a salon, with huge amounts of food, drink, music and good company. Their guests ranged from old school friends to rock stars and supermodels, and from respected stalwarts of British theatre and television to Stella McCartney, Kate Bush and assorted members of the Rolling Stones and U2. Among the guests at a New Year's Eve party at the house was Joni Mitchell, who came along with a friend of Steve's, the former Free and Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke. Kirsty was thrilled to meet Joni and immediately commandeered her. In the course of the evening, Kirsty, in a sweet fan-like gesture, gave Joni a thoughtful gift - one of her own favourite books, in which she had written a brief inscription. The regal Ms Mitchell accepted the gift but her failure to reciprocate left Kirsty feeling very disgruntled. "Kirsty was thinking, 'Joni Mitchell, how fantastic!'" says Steve. "But she never got anything back; not a thank you or anything. And I remember her saying, 'Bloody hell, she never gave me anything!' But it was like you don't give something to get something back! I'm sure Joni Mitchell didn't know who Kirsty was, or that it was such an important thing that Kirsty had given her." < best to all PaulC ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 07:51:31 -0400 From: Jerry Notaro Subject: Re: Kirsty MacColl (was Karen O'Brien's Bio) As a Kirsty fan I was thrilled to read this.

More cohesive musically and lyrically, improved sound, and gorgeous packaging. Me thinks they would make nice gifts. Dreamland gets my vote as best of the lot. peace, david ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 11:54:19 -0500 (GMT-05:00) From: david sapp Subject: re - compilations I said "Dreamland gets my vote as best of the lot."

It's a little outside, but yes, I hear the tune. The jazz reference is Ornette Coleman, someone I've never applied to JM's music before. We'll also be doing customized versions of "All the Things You Are," "Blues in the Night," and six of my original jazz compositions. Here are the details: DAVID LAHM SEPTET SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3 7pm WestBank Cafe (downstairs) 407 W 42nd Street NY NY (just W of 9th Av) Music Charge: $10 Reservations: 212/695-6909 drinks available food upstairs on street level ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 19:17:25 -0400 From: Subject: Remastered CDs- under $7 each?! Sh-eeee. Momma didn't raise no dummies. This morning I had a pre-HDCD version of MINGUS and a desire to fill in my Emmylou Harris collection (especially now that her back catalog was remastered recently). Columbia House offered me 4 for $25.44, grand total. MINGUS, ELITE HOTEL, PIECES OF THE SKY, & LUXURY LINER. Yeah baby, yeah! Lama Details: 4 for the price of 1 (to members), then a 10% discount, plus their regular (obscene) "Shipping & Processing" charge. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 19:45:20 -0400 From: Seulbzzaj@aol.com Subject: Re: Anyone Dreaming? Mary wrote: Scott, I've got to say: what Joni said works for me. And it makes perfect sense. Just "guesses at most," but I think that few of us can begin to understand just how traumatic the relinquishment of Kilauren was for Joni. It rocked her world, and not in a good sense; she wrote and sang, I'm convinced, in order to survive, deal with the pain, and interpret the world so that *something* made sense. Now, thank heavens, she no longer feels compelled to cope with her life in that way. She didn't stop recording before giving us one of the most memorable catalogues compiled by any popular musical artist in the the past 50 years, and I thank her for that. So, if you're "retired," Joni--enjoy the ride. And paint up a storm!! >> Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad to know that Joni is happy, but I do wish that she would continue to record. Unlike most people here, I think Joni's singing became more expressive than ever in the last decade, and for purely selfish reasons, I would love to hear more of her gorgeous voice and phrasing. So, in other words, the fact that she says she has retired, is sad for me, but I couldn't be happier for her.
