oddly, I can imagine the Travelogue voiced Joni doing "The Man WIth a
Child in His Eyes."
Weird, huh?

Hi, Sean,

You said:

<<I had a thought that I shared with a good friend, and
I wanted to share it with this list as well: I could
really hear Kate Bush covering, "Shades of Scarlet
Conquering." I think it would be beautiful.>>

I absolutely agree, Sean, and I can think of others that have the kind of drama that Kate does so well:

Anima Rising
Offnight Backstreet
Conversation (earlier Kate)
Wolf That Lives in Lindsay
Jungle Line
The Only Joy in Town

and many others.  Makes me kind of wish Kate would do an all-Joni album, something I've wished of others, including k d lang and Shawn Colvin.

Speaking of Kate, is there any more word as to whether she's working on an album -- it's been quite a while, but I seem to remember reading some time back that she was working on something, possibly for release in '05.  i know The Red Shoes got a dissappointing reception, but I'd hate to think of her hanging up her magical muse forever.

Nice idea, Sean!

Subject: Joni's first performance of Coyote

This week's MP3:

Almost certainly the first ever public performance of "Coyote"! 

This was performed while Joni was traveling with the Rolling Thunder Revue
in Augusta, Maine on November 26, 1975.  Joni introduced the song by saying
that she had written it "yesterday".

Fantastic, Les!  What a great insight into Joni's "Coyote" creative 
process.  Thanks for sharing this ultra-rarity.

Geez, what else you got, dude?

Well, yeah, she says that it was written yesterday, in
a non-ironic way so we can assume that it was written
the day before the performance. She mentions looking
at the daily rushes' - were they filming the film of
'Rolling Thunder' (Reynaldo and Clara?), was she
inspired by the haphazard footage of what was taken? I
can certainly imagine so... each stanza starts with an
image, so it's more than likely...

Nice that she starts off with the whole movement of
the chords before she gets into the vocal, just to
introduce it to the new listeners.

No image of the farmhouse burning down... pity... or
my favourite line about Coyote smelling her scent on
his fingers while watching a waitress' legs. I guess
it was embryonic, the structure was there, we just
needed the rest of the story.

Thanks for that Les, I'd've never heard it otherwise.

Much Joni

As far as Kate Bush covering Joni, the first song that I thought of was
"Rainy Night House" - I can hear Kate doing wonderful things with that whole
"I sing soprano in the upstairs choir" piece!

If Joni  Mitchell writes and performs a song that

about her private life?


Hi Catherine,
 
    Thought provoking question.  Thanks.  
 
    Joni's opened more of her private life than most I  would say.  But, from 
a song that touches me deeply, I know Joni only  recalls her private life's 
illusions, so we would only see once  removed illusions if we did have a look 
at "all" of her private life.  
 
    The forest is beautiful and so are the individual  trees she's made 
visible through her interviews and songs.  But I  realize that "no one knows, they 
can never get that close, guesses at most,  guesses based on what each set of 
time and change is touching..."
 
Love,
Laura

<This week's MP3:

THIS week...hey, I like the sound of that! She also performed Edith and the Kingpin and Don't Interrupt The Sorrow that evening, and would typically perform those three songs from this date forward, at least from the recordings that I have.

Besides this Coyote debut, her singing a verse of "This Land Is Your Land" along with everyone else for a closer each night was pretty cool.

Maybe you can make that NEXT week's mp3. :~)

Bob
