Come to think of it, she hated her mother before Eminem hated his! Huh! - --Smurf Tired of spam? Yahoo!

As someone who "gets" Joni's jazz-influenced periods, I'm really enjoying "Songs Of A Prairie Girl". "Paprika Plains" is Joni challenging herself. I love the piano songs the best although I have the entire catalog. I "hear" Monk in some of those passages, especially the dissonances, the humor, and the repetitive resolution. Where ever he is, Charlie Mingus is happy to see Joni's team harvesting Paprika Plains again. Remember: downbeat magazine gave her "Mingus" album 5 stars. http://www.jonimitchell.com/downbeat79.html The expense for Al Schmitt & Bernie Grundman was well worth it. As an amateur photographer, it's also a treat to see the wealth of great shots that Joel Bernstein took at the frozen lake. In several ways, he's a surrogate for Joni's admirers. Thanks too for getting THE COMPLETE GEFFEN RECORDINGS done. There was a lot of detail in "Dog Eat Dog" that the manufacturing process didn't get across in the 20th century. It sounded muddy then but now the complex rhythms reveal what the faithful have always known: Joni is ahead of her time, literally and figuratively. Her catalog is very valuable to me I can't thank you enough for keeping it in front of the public. Although the press are deeply flawed, they are a conduit to the boomers who are finally ready for great story-telling. Believe it or not, we DO buy CDs. You should hook Joni up with npr's "The World Cafe" in Philly again. David Dye asks great questions and he totally "gets" the living treasure you represent. Are there any live shows in the pipeline? "It's a rich exchange, it seems to me."

It's right above a link to the official web site, www.jonimitchell.com It's almost as if they're inviting emails from admirers.

At the CD store, I found a greatest-hits package from a different artist in the "JONI MITCHELL" section. I flipped it over and one of the songs was "Both Sides Now". I smiled. The disc was Judy Collins' "Greatest Hits". I think someone had it in their hands before the decided to find the JM titles instead. Nothing against Ms. Collins, of course.
