You paint pictures with words very well! What an exciting week for Joni fans! I have seen Joni from a distance. Twice. Surreal and a bit disappointing for me to be so close (in the same performance space) and yet so far away. That said, what on earth would I say to Joni Mitchell, the woman whose music has spoken to and given expression to lives and experiences all around the globe, mine included. I can understand the comment Joni made about the academic dissection of her music.... academic analysis can get a bit distanced from the emotionality of a subject. Surely, Joni's work touches upon the entire landscape of feelings; images. How does one describe what it is to be in the presence of a panoramic prairie sunset anyway? Reading your post reminded me of the lecture in a little theatre near Harbourfront in Toronto ; the occasion, one of a series of events prior to Harbourfront's Hommage to Joni Mitchell (several jmdlers attended). I was fortunate to nuzzle up with Jimmy Stewart and Coyote Rick while we listened to Rob Bowman (a former music prof of mine at York University) present 'Joni'. Sadly, due to traffic on the QEW, I walked in at the last moments of his presentation. I know this was filmed and I'm wondering if it is available somehow. Ive often considered writing to Rob, as I spoke with him afterward; sure he remembered me ;-) After Rob's presentation, we were treated to Joni music videos, many of which I had not seen until that moment. All in all, I'm glad Im here, a student of the virtual University of Joni. I've learned so much about her in these past four years, plus. A dream, I'd love to be close enough to see her, to hear her for myself, in a setting, perhaps an informal one, like my imaginary bookstore encounter. I'd love to speak with Kilauren, meet the grandbabies...the whole thing. just some thoughts on this last day of October... Mags, wondering where the sun has gone?? npimh: dreams Amelia...dreams...... if you've had a kindness shown, pass it on. Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.

Hi Kenny, and thanks for the tip - that Jane Monheit version of ACOY is a high-profile recording, so yes, we've had it for some time. She also did a cover of Twisted. But here's one I don't have - yet: _http://www.allisoncrowe.com/music.html_ (http://www.allisoncrowe.com/music.html) Canadian singer Allison Crowe releases her holiday CD "Tidings" November 11, including a cover of River. You can hear a minute & a half of it on her site - - very nice! Also speaking of covers, another page of the calendar is about to fall off and another volume of Joni covers is awaiting its unveiling! And Tuesday Nov. 2 is when A Perfect Circle's cover of 'Fiddle & The Drum' comes out...oh, the work of a Joni covers fanatic is NEVER done.

It would have been so much fun to have been there but this is the next best thing.

This is a Grrrreat opportunity I mean: I have the strongest feeling I can't, for my mental sanity (or at least what remain of it), let this go! Give it a Go!... You know, I only play "palmas" (handclaps) and some occasional (and unrequested) banging-on-the-table. My singing is lousy too (a little of this soul enthusiasm, though). *But* having the chance to get to talk with you, Laurent, with more (and more) people from this blessed list... it would be back to the garden... ..and I think, I can try to convince my family to go to the Costa Brava (catalonian seaside) in august so I can make a jump to Carcasonne for a few days... let's see... don't fear on me, we'll going to...
