I've never seen a poster per se of that legendary Hejira album cover. What I would suggest if you have the CD is to take the insert into a Kinko's or something and talk to them about supersizing the picture into poster size for you. Maybe the LP photo would work even better, I assume it would be less grainy when they blow it up. Just a thought. Bob - --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

No doubt, but it still wouldn't be very good. Chances are, there were promo posters printed the year of release, but if so those are now worth a bit. Anyway, checking ebay for posters of that type may be your best bet. I got a very nice poster from Refuge of the Road for under 2 dollars which is now framed in my home office. Newer posters tend to be cheaper. Maybe some of PG are out there now?

Sure, some are available as bootlegs of varying quality, but I so wish Joni would "release" then to be sung by someone, if not by her. (I have no idea if there are legal or other non-artistic reasons for not allowing them to be recorded -- deosn't Joni own the rights to all her songs?) As I've mentioned before, Jane Siberry put out a marvelous album when she was hitting forty, just herself on guitar singing songs she'd written in her teens and sung while she was in high school and college -- it's called "Teenager", and yeah, sure, some of them are immature, but most of them are lovely, most of them could easily have gone on her first Canadian-only release from 1980, and a couple are stunning ("Broken Birds" is outstanding), and it was so *nice* to hear Jane stripped down and vulnerable. If you're not familiar with Jane's stuff, she has an interestiung, quirky sound, and she tended from the mid-80's to the early '90's to heavily "layer" her sound with lots of harmonies and voices, much like Joni did during the same period. If Joni thinks her mature voice singing songs like Carnaval in Kenora and Eastern Rain and Melody In your Name would sound wrong, perhaps she's right, but let someone *else* sing them -- they're wonderful! I'm currently trying to recreate an arrangment of the song "Jeremy" that I came up with in the '70's -- a song which I believe no one's *ever* heard Joni sing, or at least I'm not aware of any recordings in any format -- more knowledgeable people, please feel free to correct me -- and I'd *love* to hear Kate, or Shawn, or k.d., or Jewel or *anyone*sing this and other songs -- even delightful silly songs like Dr. Junk the Dentist Man. Oh well, one can dream... Oh, btw, I owe several people several things (sheet music and chocolate, mostly) and I'm sorry I'm so far behind in everything -- but I haven't forgotten you, I've just been swamped by crises. My partner, Robert, is a fighter like me, but things have not been going well for him for quite some time, and well, he's running on fumes (he's 6'1", weighs 135 and has a CD4 of 13; we had to rush him to the ER this weekend when we awoke with a fever of 103.5 -- pneumonia again). To those of you who are religiously inclined, a prayer on his behalf would be appreciated, and for the rest of you, strong positive feelings are equally welcome. We've both been fighting this vicious, pernicious virus for over twenty years, and a cure, or even a new treatment, would certainly be welcome right about now. For some reason, I'm doing inexplicably okay at the moment, but watching Robert seemingly slip away makes me feel so helpless, and is as stressful as you might imagine. Sorry for all the heavytude. I hope I don't sound miserable or bitter -- I spend so much of the time enjoying life (I spent several hours yesterday in the beautiful Marin headlands yesterday, where I was investigated by a kind of hummingbird I'd never seen before, and saw a deer casually munching some grass just a few yards away from one of the Youth Hostel buildings that dot the area!) I *am* certainly frustrated, and I appreciate this forum, and you good people, more than you can know.
