It is by far my favorite cd of the past 6 months, and for me, that is saying a lot since I buy and listen to so many. I am not blind to all of his music. There is some I don't like, and I have posted about how some of his earlier behavior was annoying. But he continues to amaze me as an artist, and he is so young that it excites me that there is so much more to come. Has he made missteps? Yes, as do all artists who take risks. But he reminds me a lot of Jeff Buckley, and though they never met, Rufus credits him as a great influence. And we all know how much Jeff admired Joni. So it has always excited me that there is a Joni, Jeff, Rufus connection.

Oh, I wish these Joni art cards really were available. I would buy a case of them, for sure! I would then stop buying so much from www.quotablecards.com. I send a lot of cards, and find myself buying a lot of these (but don't worry, Marianne, Bree and Ashara -- they are printed on recycled paper). I am a lover of words and language and quotes (you should see my refrigerator!) so these babies work for me. The quoteable card that graces my desk at work this month says "Peace begins with a smile." -- Mother Teresa. That one usually disarms the telephone screamers and grouchy people. But to have Joni quotes and art cards that I could plaster all over my living and working spaces -- way cool! And if you'll pardon my free association rambling here, another lovely quotable card I just read reminds me a bit of the JMDL: "To know someone with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distance or thoughts unexpressed....that can make this life a garden." -- Goethe Yes, this list is some semblance of a garden! Peace, Patti P.S. Loved those photos, Smurf & Wally & Jody & Anne! Merci beacoup for sharing.....so glad you had a good time (a picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words). I imagine Boston will never be the same: the curse now gone, and then you four guys a boppin' and a stompin' in the city! Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:31:33 -0800 From: Lindsay Moon Subject: Joni Art Cards See what you think of this. I was recently in an upscale card shop where they had lovely cards such as black and white 1950's Vogue fashion shoots with info on the photographer, model, dress designer, etc. on the back. A nice idea and a little fashion history lesson about things maybe forgotten. Here's my idea: blank cards with Joni's art (album covers) on them, a nice boxed set of assorted cards, maybe the cover of C&S, the inside fold of FTR, the cover of Blue, her still lifes, etc., etc. They would be square, like an album or CD. They could each have a little blurb on the back with the year of the album, a little history of it, maybe a short quote from Joni. Printed on beautiful paper. They are beautiful art already. They would be a lovely gift in a nice box tied with some grosgrain ribbon. Maybe the box is copper colored and the ribbon is turquoise like the colors of Paprika Plains. They would be easy as pie to produce since the artwork already exists. She could give the proceeds to charity if she wanted. It's probably too commercial an idea for her (and we must not let the evil Hallmark people produce them!) but, heck, I'm not talking about keychains (yet.) Lindsay (maybe I should take on a third job to avoid thinking up these silly ideas) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2005 22:43:01 -0000 From: "Ric Robinson" Subject: Cover Girl Joni For UK listers, and anywhere else that British music magazine "Word" is sold; This magazine has Joni on the cover, a photo by Jack Robinson from the Vogue sessions, and a long article inside by Jim Irvin. (The praying to a Xmas tree snippet came from it) It stretches to 9 pages, covers most of her life, and includes Jim's Joni top 'twenty', listed below. I don't know how widely available the mag is, but there is a website www.wordmagazine.co.uk from where you can take out a subscription and download the electronic version. This month's issue also has Rufus Wainwright and Richard Thompson articles. Jim Irvin's 20 Joni greats: I had a King Chelsea Morning Songs to Ageing Children Come Big Yellow Taxi (LOTC) Urge for Going California River A Case of You You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio Raised on Robbery The Jungle Line Amelia God Must Be A Boogie Man The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines Nothing Can Be Done Sex Kills The Magdalene Laundries Man From Mars Both Sides Now (from BSN) Unfortunately he can't count!
