As previously described they had an assortment of 8 or 9 Martin, Taylor and Guild guitars at the ready in various Joni tunings. Comprised of two female vocalists playing guitar and dulcimer and a band playing percussion, congas, keyboards, clarinet and sax and bass, it was a fun and interesting experience. They covered songs from just about all Joni eras (but not Hejira - yet). Paul Carman on sax/clarinet channeled Wayne Shorter and Tom Scott especially well and Kevin Hamby on bass was equally amazing. The group particularly shone on songs where the entire band participated. They have only recently begun to work together on the Joni project and so have not yet done any recordings (so no covers yet unless I get a bootleg somehow). They seemed really happy that two "reps" from "Joni's fan club" were there and asked us to spread the word ;-) In other cover news, a few friends recently saw Judy Collins doing an in-store at a local Borders. They said she was astounding and they also met up with Joni art director Robbie Cavolina at the event. Don't know if this is yet on Bob's radar but she covers "Song About the Midway" on her new album "Portrait of an American Girl." From the sound clip online, her version sounds Judy-glorious. As the Joni Project tonight covered "People's Parties," the line "stone cold Grace behind her fan" reminded me to put out the word that Grace Slick is again exhibiting her art at 319 Gallery in Santa Monica and will be in-house on June 18th. I did a review here of her show in Westwood a year or so back, and it is well worth experiencing - especially when she is in attendance. Here are more details plus some photos of some of her work at this link http://gallery-319.com/slick.html Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:44:42 +1000 From: Mark-Leon Thorne Subject: Re: Faux Folk Songs >What are you talking about?

The Joni Mitchell Discovery Centre would feature mementoes, albums, and photographs in a building at a new riverfront development called River Landing. Among the supporters are Bob Hinitt, who taught french and art to Mitchell - then Roberta Joan Anderson - at Aden Bowman Collegiate from 1958 to '62. He called her "the girl with the flaxen hair," and was immediately struck by her potential. "Artistically, I could see she was very talented." Hinitt said he's baffled by mixed messages from Saskatoon city council and a few letters to the editor questioning whether Mitchell is worthy of a centre. "It's tantamount to me to say, What have William Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci and Mozart done? In 400 years, like Shakespeare, she could be as famous," Hinitt said. The city of Saskatoon has called for expressions of interest in building a destination centre" around Persephone Theatre's new RIver Landing home, with a June 15 closing date. At least two councillors are supportive of the Joni Mitchell Centre, but others have raised concerns about whether the singer is interested in the idea or whether it would hinder the Mendel Art Gallery's plans to develop a cafe featuring Mitchell's artwork. - --Saskatoon StarPhoenix-- - --------------------------------- Discover Yahoo!

On the other hand, Alanis Morrissette has already rec'd a star (or whatever they are) on Canada's Walk of Fame, but Joni only got hers a few years ago, after what we could probably say in all honesty was a true lifetime achievement (not that la Joan is dead and may she live 100 years!) No wonder she pisses and moans about the recording industry! But... there are so many OTHER things equally pissable-and-moanable-about! Off onto the Alanis tangent, (from here on in, it's njc, so kids, if you try this at home, remember to put the njc in your subject line). If you look at this article, there's a Morrisette lyric generator mentioned in item 4 (see below): "4. You can use Alanis to get your own star too! Just use the online Morissette Lyric Generator to create your own songs of angst. All you need is a computer, something that you hate and six plural nouns.

And I think its cause she totally doesn't try to roll over it - she is very clear about it! There are soo many - but here is one that came to mind for me today ... "She tapes her regrets to the microphone stand ..." ( the build-up to that line and then the drum and the instrumentation that follows just in that little pocket before the next line is breath taking). Movements like that in songs can be soo small - yet I wait the whole song for that tiny piece. Also another one that's a little longer is in "Down to you." "In the morning there are lovers in the street, they look so high, you brush against a stranger and you both apologize. Old friends seem indifferent, you must have brought that on. Old bonds have broken down - Love is gone! Oooh Love is gone written on your spirit this sad song - Love is gone" And then the reeds that follow. - Course this song is nearly perfect anyway and the verse before this one is also a great Joni moment. Just magical and so true to life! I must have at least 10 more - hey maybe top ten would be a good idea haven't had one of those in awhile!

Hopefully they'll step up and release a recording sometime! As for Judy's SATM cover, it came out a month or so ago and thanks to Jerry it is present & accounted for. She does a fabulous version of it - I guess I shouldn't complain, and I'm not really, but given that she recorded Chelsea Morning, BSN and Michael From Mountains back when those songs were fresh, it would have been SO awesome had she chosen a track from the latter part of Joni's career to parallel. Given the fact that her voice still sounds so good, I'd love to hear to take on Borderline, Sunny Sunday, Slouching Towards Bethlehem or any number of songs from TTT. But no sour grapes from me...I'll take whatever I can get. It's just that when an interpreter of song or her magnitude just does the early stuff it's almost validation that that's all there is to Joni. Speaking of Grace, I watched VH1's "The 50 most awesomely bad songs ever" and the Starship's "We Built This City" finished at the top of the heap (or the bottom depending on how you looked at it). The big criticism that the critics had was that given the level of talent involved, they should have know better. Bob NP: Live, "Selling The Drama" Tired of spam? Yahoo!
