Well I did catch her the next time she rolled through town with her new hubby in her band playing bass... it was the first time I'd ever heard her in concert which seems hard to believe now but for some reason I'd never been near where she was playing in the early days(& curses...she missed Woodstock...I did get to see pat metheny around that same time (with lyle mays)- magical spiritual show outside at that same venue...summertime bliss... >Hi Kate!

I say that you hit paydirt anyway!!!! Yes, I think about what life would have been like had Joni played Woodstock...it boggles the mind because I know everything would be soooo different! I have never seen Joni live so I think you being able to see Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays around that time was definitely special!!!! My heart has definitely healed a bit for you!

Here is the blurb. http://www.broadwaytheatre.ca/detail.asp?showtitle=CBC+on+Broadway%3A+a+celebration+of+music May 18, 2005 : Both Sides, Now Michael Angell celebrates love and life through song in English, French, and Spanish. Songs by Joni Mitchell, French-Canadian songwriters and Latin world beat Nueva Trova songs from Cuba. Reception at 7 pm followed by official dedication of the stage. Advance $18 Door $20 Doors 7 pm Show 8 pm Co-presented by The Broadway Theatre and CBC. All proceeds to the Broadway Theatre. Michael Angell has a rich, theatrical voice, and plays the piano beautifully. I heard two Joni songs, Urge For Going, and Sweet Bird. The latter was arranged for solo piano - a first for me, with those beautiful dissonant Joni chords. It was perfect. He sang it like a slow ballad. It was very moving. And speaking of things Joni is Sakatoon this centennal summer, the Mendel Gallery has put up a small semi-permanent installation called Joni Mitchell : Lilly of the Prairie. It features three of Joni's paintings, and some photographs of her from the 70's. The lily in question is represented on the Clouds album cover.

Did you know that the floral emblem of Saskatchewan is the Western Red Lily?

While browsing through Borders today, I saw a magazine called Performing Songwriter or something like that. Aimee Mann graces the cover. At the very last page is a picture of Joni taken in 1969 by a guy whose name escaped me. Anyway, the picture shows a pensive Joni with left cheek lightly resting on her left hand as though deep in thought. Her leg is crossed sexily. Almost like a cat. The short write-up was written as though it was 1969 and said something that he has always been curious of Joni since the release of her curiously different debut album and the current one called "Clouds". So he went to an event featuring performances of other singer-songwriters and took a photo of a pensive Joni sitting and waiting for her turn while another "talented young singer-songwriter James Taylor is singing". Joni's sex appeal almost leaps out of the page. Joseph in CH - --------------------------------- Dicouvrez le nouveau Yahoo! Mail : 1 Go d'espace de stockage pour vos mails, photos et vidios !

Hey, ya'd think, like, there could be at least *one* Joni fanatic in Saskatoon or Regina on our list, eh? Where are they all hanging out? I neglected to mention that when Michael Angell sang Urge for Going, he didn't change the sex of the characters. For instance, he sang `I had me a man in summertime``, etc... I thought, is that a queer statement, or is it a case of being true to the original ? Whatever his motivation may have been, I thought he was brave to sing it that way (beautifully) in front of a Saskatoon audience, and broadcast to a national radio audience to boot. It seems to me one doesn't often hear same-sex references in pop songs in mainstream venues or media.

That's awesome. His website is www.robertcorwin.com and I am hoping to see your picture in the said magazine someday. I like the way he writes too. Actually, I thought about you and Sherelle when I saw that magazine this afternoon and half-thought that maybe I may come across any entries about you and musicians/artists that we have here in JMDL. I like the magazine too even if it was the first time I have seen it.

Nice topic Jim My instant list would be:- The Lark Ascending by E VAughan Williams..all 14minutes and however many seconds Reynardine -Fairport convention The opening riffs of "Graceland" Paul Simon Horse with No Name- America "Great Beyond" REM.the acoustic version "Night swimming" and Everybody Hurts .REM Also "Millworker" and "Migration" by JT Candles in the rain/Laydown..Melanie "Fiddle and the Drum" "Magdalene Laundries" "California" & "Little Green"Joni "Telegraph Road" Dire Straits "The Hebrew Slaves Chorus" from the opera Nabucco (Brain gone AWOL so cant remember if its puccini or not) "Moonlight Sonata" Beethoven For me "goose bumps" and music usually have to do with some sort of emotional response to the first time I heard the piece. EAch one of these pieces of music deeply affected me in some way or another when I heard them, or they were playing at a time I felt a particular sentiment. I can absolutely pinpoint the situation I was in when I heard each piece "consciously" for the first time. We do hear things unconsciously and maybe from pre-birth and maybe pre-this lifetime. The whole folk thing is almost primordial and it is about roots and cultural inheritance. I have friends who do not listen to anything except "classical music" and are knowledgeable beyond reason on the history, culture and performance behind what they listen to. They ge t chills from stuff that leaves me cold... and they dont get what I listen to........ They were all brought up by parents who adored classical, they went to public schools (private schools) where they were steeped in "culture" and I find they cannot cross over to the broader sweeps of the musical landscape whereas I can. anyway, goosebumps or not its time for me to get to work Have good days all of you Lucy Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2005 22:49:46 -0400 From: "Lama, Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: What gives you the chills? * the high notes in "California" on the "BLUE" album. * McCartney's high harmony, octave jump at the very end of "Nowhere Man". >no where plans for nobody> * "Fire and Rain", almost every time for more than 20 years. * several Tori songs on "Under the Pink".
