Ten fantastic singers and a dozen musicians entertained over 750 people, with a Saturday night show being a standing-room only, standing-ovation, sellout crowd. And, that is the reason I am writing. I want to thank the Center for the Arts and the staff thereof: Paul Emery, Marcie Wolfe, Alan Goodman, John Bush, John Blinder, Peter Wilson, Chris Hawthorne and Myra Traugot for all their hard work and dedication, for everything they do to support the Center and the myriad fine performers and shows that grace their stages and studios. Not to mention the fantastic opportunities they offer young dancers, actors and musicians and other aspiring and accomplished artists. The Center has worked diligently and sacrificed a great deal just to stay open these past four years, and the battle isn't over, as they work every month to make the rent. I sincerely hope all of you reading this will think about the unbelievable opportunity your children and friends have in being able to utilize such a tremendous resource as the Center for the Arts. Please support them. Please visit them. Please get on the mailing list. Become a member if you like. But, give only a few moments of thought to how much all of Nevada County would lose if the Center's lights went dark. You have two jewels in your possession: One, the incredible array of talented artists residing in the area. And, two, the Center for the Arts, without which our community would sparkle so much less. In folklore, it is said pirates wear a jewel upon themselves so that if they fell overboard, someone on the ship would bother to save them. If the Center for the Arts is the jewel I believe it is, we ALL need to bother to appreciate it, lest it fall by the wayside. I know you won't let that happen. So, thank you to everyone who came to the shows this weekend, and let's keep up that tradition. Please support the Center for the Arts. It may be your children one day gracing their stages. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Personals - Better first dates.

I watched Tarnation the other day and part of the allure of this quasi-documentary-bricolage is the reference to Joni. The film's images were culled from home movies, horror films and several ads to tell the troubled past of filmmaker Jonathan Caouette and his schizophrenic mother Renee. At one point in the movie Caouette, using dramatic intertitles, mentioned a few names he felt can best play him and his mother if a film is done about them. He thought Joni Mitchell should play his mother, who as a young woman was very very attractive and who reminded me of Sharon Tate and Maria Renee Falconetti in 1928 more than Joni. As a student studying films I often wondered what roles will appeal Joni to play. Maybe the Deborah Kara Unger role in Cronenberg's Crash or the Miranda Richardson's dual characters in Cronenberg's Spider. Come to think of it, Unger and Joni resemble each other too much and . . . are they one person? ;-) I recommend Tarnation even if I found it a bit unsettling and quite disturbing in some ways when the filmmaker opt not to tell the story but let the images speak of 'the horror the horror'. This film is right up there with two other films I watched this year that challenged conventions and film language: Sembene's Moolaade and Godard's Notre Musique.

Of the two Starbucks CDs available he chose "Joni Mitchell - Artists Choice CD (Music that matters to her)".

Neil is one of my true music heroes--equal to Joni in my pantheon of greats. Now for a completely non-Neil Joni query. Does anyone here know the quality of the "unofficial" recordings of the 1969 Worcester Polytechnic show or the 1970 Mariposa Folk Festival Show? I'm considering getting them in trade for my collection and putting them on the JMDL hub, but I seem to recall hearing some time back that they were pretty low-quality soundwise. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com] On Behalf Of Randy Remote Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 10:37 PM To: mags h; joni@smoe.org Subject: Re: Juno awards in Winnipeg last night Neil Young/kdlang content NJC mags h wrote: > Neil Young was supposed to be there...however, last week, he was complaining of blurred vision and after various tests, it was discovered that he had an aneurism in his brain.
