It contains mostly TV talk show footage; Rosie O'Donnell, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Dick Cavett, a promo for the album, Night Ride Home, awards shows. A Hodge-podge really. Some excellent old stuff too. The majority is from the early '90s though. Keep Bit Torrent up and running. They will download when some seeders get on there. I will try to seed some more.

Amelia, it was just a false alarm' Location : Kentucky Avenue - Tom Waits Site : 'take the spokes from your wheelchair, and a magpie's wings, and tie them to your shoulders and your feet.....' Location : Man from Mars - Joni Mitchell Site : 'I fall apart everytime I think of you swallowed by the dark' (though this has lost some of its potence since finding out it's about a cat!) Location : Theme from Harry's Game - Clannad Site : The openning few bars and where the first 'Chorus' comes in. Location : Northern Lad - Tori Amos Site : ..from about 4.20 in right to the end where she sings over and over 'because of the rain.' ..that's all I've time for right now. Work beckons menacingly.

I worked at Robert's tent at a festival a few years ago and he was kind enough to donate some postcards of it for the Jonifest raffle that year. It was interesting, I told him about JMDL and asked him if he'd like me to tell the list about the photo, thinking that there would be some people here who would be interested in purchasing it and he didn't want me to do that. I guess to preserve the value of the photo - and it's a gorgeous one, that's for sure - maybe he is very picky about how many he sells and to whom and for how much. Just guessing about that though... Jenny - ----------------------------------- Hi Joseph, Performing Songwriter is my favorite music mag... Robert Corwin is the photographer... he is a lot like Henry Diltz in that he has been around a long time & has shot many of the same artists... & the beauty of it is, he can still be found shooting performers at the folk alliance conferences as well as other festivals I imagine... when I saw his work on display at my first folk alliance & met then him & saw him still out there in the audience shooting all the performers (still trying to get one he took of me but I think it's a hopeless cause now) it gave me such a sense of history in the making...

I will chime in with 3 chill generators that immediatley came to mind (for me): a. in Soul Kitchen, when Morrison first first roars the chorus "Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen..." b. Baez' singing of "El Rosinyol" from "Gracias a la Vida". That album came out in the last year of my spanish grandfather's life, and a complete adoration for that song is something we were able to share. I was like 16, and he was like 84, but we shared the song that year. Played it over and over. I can't hear that song without thinking of my grandfather, and that's just fine. Gives me the chills. ;) c. in Lyle Lovett's "If I had a Boat": "The mystery masked man was smart He got himself a Tonto 'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free But Tonto he was smarter And one day said Kemo Sabe Kiss my ass I bought a boat, I'm going out to sea" .....chill city man!!!!!!!

But here's my top 5 in no particular order When the band clicks in on 'Paprika Plains' where the band, the strings and Jaco's bass are all interplaying and it REALLY kicks off, ever expanding, getting wider and wider. Magnificent! The breath she takes to start 'Love' on the WTRF version. You can hear the anticipation of the breadth of this song in that moment The chorus of 'Last Chance Lost' - when all the Joni voices are singing 'Last Chaaaance... laaaast chance'. All those voices, not sure if they're dischordant (?) or not but they're certainly unsettling When Wayne comes in on 'Don't Worry 'Bout Me' is heartbreaking. I played this song in a theatre once over the PA while we were taking a break during rehearsals and it just stopped everyone in their tracks The last stanza of WOHAM just nails a hell of a lot of me 'You know the time you impress me most, are the times when you don't try, you don't even try...' God that just kills doesn't it? Of course I could go on... But I won't Much Joni Jamie Zoob only about 9 weeks to JoniFrance!

Gives me > the chills. > ;) Em, thanks for the reminder. I LOVE "Gracias a la vida". It's my favourite Baez album of all time. Even people who might not care for Baez's singing will almost certainly love this one. And, it's the one with her (kind of goofy, IMO) song, "Di Da", where Joni sings along with Joan. "Gracias a la vida" is still (or maybe again) available in CD format; plus there's The Complete A&M recordings, which includes all of "Gracias" (it's a 4-disc box set that looks worth it to me. It's $49.99 CDN on amazon.ca, which is a pretty good price for 4 CDs for here. Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tired of spam?

Kate Curtain rises on Festival Antigonish Festival Antigonish Summer Theatre [NS] unleashed a chock-full season yesterday featuring Canadian talent, an expanded run and new shows every week. New artistic producer Ed Thomason called the 18th season lineup a "hat trick." "We've got Joni Mitchell, David French and Daniel MacIvor, who is arguably one of the fastest-rising stars," said Thomason. "So I'm really thrilled that we're showing three major Canadian talents."

Ditto these: "Night swimming" and "Migration" They're both such odd picks, it seems extraordinary that we'd overlap on these. The constant mention of memory in "Night Swimming" seems key. For me it's a very vivid and specific memory of swimming with Susan at midnight in her uncle's pool. I can "see" that swimmming pool, smell the chlorine, feel the goosebumps from the cold water / the warm humid air on my face, hear her laugh, feel her skin slip-sliding across mine. It's uncanny that Susan's song was written by someone who never met her, and that it popped up 15 years after she was gone. Bob Seger said, "I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." Jackson Browne said, "It'd be easier sometimes to change the past."
