<but I'm a bit of a lurker and not always tuned in *waves hi bob*>

Waving "hi" back to you buddy - thanks for tuning in! You came to mind every time time I heard "Smile" - wondering what you thought of it.

<So, if she wanted to create new music and record, why not just pull out 
the VG-8, invite wayne, herbie, brian and the Russian over, and just work 
out some ideas and make an instrumental jazz album, maybe warble some 
scats over it?>

Not a bad idea at all...the very loose scatlike structure of "Steadfast" that she recorded on Blade's CD was great imo. Maybe they could have a reunion of the guys who jammed in the studio back in 1988 and did Hejira and Furry.

Hey, anything but another compilation is a step in the right direction.

I9d like to highly recommend this cd by Joni fan and premier Joni9s Jazz
participant Chaka Khan. It is an audiophile9s delight. In addition there is
a JMDL connection with Chaka knock out covers of Hey Big Spender and I9m In
the Mood for Love.

Anyways, Joni has remarked often about how she thinks if she wrote new
songs that it would be too bleak and dark because of her current
worldview...

It sounds like a great idea, by the way.

Yeah. What's the problem? The world is bleak and dark.
What else is new?

Subject: Rare Joni articles...

Joniphiles - 

I've just come across two fascinating early articles on Joni.  They aren't
in the library yet (as they are waiting for volunteers to type them) but I
thought I'd offer a preview.

The articles are from 1964 and 1965, which will make them the earliest items
in the JMDL Library.  Great photo of Joni at 20 years old that I've not seen
before.

You can view them in their original form here:
http://www.jmdl.com/library/typing.cfm (click on the "unknown" titles)

If anyone can help identify dates and sources on these articles, I would be
much obliged.

Thanks,
Les

Subject: don freed and the "gala"

Just a note saying that Don Freed did some family concert last night at my local library, which I missed because it was my daughter's birthday.  I just had these visions of Joni and him hooking up again and her being here, since she could be in Saskatchewan again already.  I have tickets for the Centennial Gala thing next week, so I'll give a report of Joni's involvement - if she speaks, or if there is a tribute, or whatever.....  she better do something, because this looks thing is really hokey - got 10th row seats though!

My favorites...

From the Calgary Herald: "Joannie Anderson, of
Saskatoon, is cute and a crowd-winner." 

Also, I think that picture captioned, "... Judy
Johnson..." meant to say *Jody* Johnson.

From the Royal Reflector: "Her songs are usually
tragic or melancholy, but (she) has a pleasant and
refreshing manner of singing them." 

The article of unknown origin that's headlined, "FOLK
SINGER Two-Career Girl" is just too true. I love the
bit about the art teacher trying to talk her out of
singing and into an art career. 

And this: 

"At home, however, her talent produced no visable
excitement and when she announced her intention of
buying herself an accompanying instrument, the only
reaction was her mother's" "Who do you think you are,
Kitty Wells?" 

The more things change, eh?

Subject: Re: PP and now DTY, Now improved with Springsteen Content

I wonder what COURT AND SPARK would sound like if Joni's team revisited the
WHOLE THING?  Some parts are kinda murky.  Others are strident and gritty.
It's such a great collection, I'd really like to have the whole thing
re-done from scratch.

Springsteen content:
now playing in my head,
"Waist deep / in the big muddy"

Now, here's an underappreciated album: "LUKCY TOWN".
4. If I Should Fall Behind (Wait For Me)
5. Leap Of Faith
6. The Big Muddy
10. My Beautiful Reward

"How beautiful: the river flows and the birds they sing.
 But, you and I: we're messier thangs.
 There ain't no one gets outta this world, buddy
 without their shirttails dirty and their ha-a-a-ands a littl-l-le
 bloody.
 Waist deep / in the big muddy"

Jim


Micheal from Quebec stepped out of the shadows for a moment and said,
>I was wondering if you would take a listen to the orchestral part of DTY,
Joni's other great orchestral outing. To my ears, this was not recorded
together in one take, rather it sounds to me like pieces of tape patched
together in the mixing booth. For example, I've always found there is an
abrupt transition at 2:43 and again at 4:19, when the oboe and clarinet come
back near the end (on the regular CD pressing). This was especially audible
on the vinyl record. The sound quality seems to vary somewhat from one
section to the next, even the piano seems duller at the end of the peice.
What do you think? Are these variations in the sound made by the patching
together of different takes or recordings ?>

That would be Larry Klein...Joni referred to him that way in interviews and onstage. "The Russian on Prozac" I think she called him...

Yikes! C&S is sonically an amazing work...it's the record that won me over to Joni, whether it was the LP, or a tape recorded from the LP, or a CD or even playing through these cheap-ass Boston Acoustics speakers on my computer it's always sounded INCREDIBLE to me. Her "team" can f*ck with it when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Subject: RE: PP and now DTY, Now improved with Springsteen Content

<laughing out loud, long and hard>  Well, all right.  That's a great take
too.

I have lousy hearing, a weak sense of pitch, and C&S sounds kinda rough to
me.  On the other hand, Bob, you out-sing me without breaking a sweat, yet
you have no problem with Court and Spark.  Hmm.  What the feck?  It is a
quandary.

Sure, I love Court and Spark.  It's easy to love that one; it pulled many
people into the catalog; the song-writing is really great.  I admit it's
lame to even mention the sound quality.  Okay, I'll take it back, at least
until RR & Jerry & Em jump into the fray.

Sincerely,
Jim
"Souls of the Departed" which also sounds kinda rough but that's cause it's
on the DVD player.  The outboard DAC is being upgraded this weekend.  <I
laugh my evil laugh.>
