Being an Aussie born and raised, I can't say I've heard of any of those things you mentioned. Woodstock sounds like it might be a wine company. Possibly Hunter Valley. As for Erana Clark, the name sounds vaguely familiar but the song was certainly not a hit for her. Although I was only 7 in 1973, I used to listen to my sister's records (who was a musician) and don't recall any Aussie Joni covers ever being a hit. My earliest introduction to Joni would have been around that time when my sister used to cover Big Yellow Taxi in her repertoire although, she says she was never a fan of Joni's music. She preferred the heavier stuff like, Led Zepelin and Status Quo. Any other Aussies heard of Erana Clark?

Sorry that I didn't read on after bob's post. THAT'S why Erana Clark's name is so familiar. Of course! She's the Australian Idol vocal coach. She has quite a good voice. Thanks for filling us in Come to think of it, I do recall seeing Woodstock Bourbon and cola in the stores. I think I've even had one. Yech!

And while I'm on the subject of Aussie Joni covers, I'll throw out this one to see if anybody there can help me find it. It's a CD by a Melbourne area (I believe) jazz singer named Emma Lee titled "I Wished For You". The reason I'm so anxious to hear it/get it is that it has not one, not two, but potentially THREE Joni covers on it: Blue, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Edith & The Kingpin This one has been very elusive - any help finding it would be appreciated (and rewarded!) ;~) Bob Tired of spam?

I saw some of the previews and she'll be singing "Big Yellow Taxi." I think BYT was from one of her albums back in '95. She does a good job with BYT. I can't remember which of Bob's cover volumes it's on though.

GARRET NP- Ani Di Franco, 32 Flavors From: Jamie Zubairi Had dinner last night with a girl that I met only recently. I arrived a little early and while she was out walking the dog I had to stay in to wait for the other guests. She had a guitar on a stand so I kept myself out of trouble by playing 'Stewart's Coat' by RLJ - the only song in standard that i like singing - after dinner and drinks the guitar was brought out. It seems this girl is a singer-songwriter and her friend played the guitar while she sang. It came out that I sang and played as well so they got me to play that. Then someone said, 'Does anyone know any Joni Mitchell?' I said yes.. can I detune this guitar? and we had a lovely evening of various Joni songs. A real surprise for me to find someone who likes her and can sing along which was nice - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 17:17:54 +0100 (BST) From: Jamie Zubairi Subject: Re: A Crow of a different color, or at least different arrangement - --- Garret wrote: > Sounds like you had a mini Jonifest there Jamie:-) > > I think i saw you in the maltesers ad. > GARRET > Hi Garret Yes it certainly felt like a 'warm-up' gig. I can't wait til JoniFrance to meet everyone and actually speak to everyone face to face and put faces to names and tag-lines. You should've seen me - I'm the main bloke in the adverts. Of course, it has to be the Will and Grace Maltesers adverts on Channel 4 at 8.30pm on Fridays. I'm not in the current general campaign which features lots of bouncing balls, lots of people jumping through the city...

It's a real damned shame that there's no way to get it released officially. I'd love to hear Joni talking to the NY Times and Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair about the glory days.

Sheesh. A remastered CD version of Joni & James at the BBC is available to anyone here if you promise never to sell it. If you're outside the US, I'm sure someone will step up and make a similar offer. What I'm offering was remastered for the JMDL community by Simon Montgomery. He started with a very high source and took deliberate steps to retain every detail. As a result, the remastered CD has a clarity that surpasses the bootleg LP (sold at record shows) and distant cassette copies of 30 years ago. For new people: This is called "trading for blanks and postage" and it's never done with catalog recordings. You send a blank CD (or cassette) and return postage. I put the music on it and send it back. (You'll usually get a tracklist and one of my grainy photos of Joni on stage during the Bob/Joni/Van tour, but don't hold me to that.) Write to me off-list. I'm sure others will offer too, especially if you're interested in other people's interpretations of Joni's songs. (Hi Bob.)

This one is a very early performance of Furry Sings The Blues, from a concert in Philadelphia on Feb 16, 1976. Note a few minor lyric changes from the recorded version. Based on clues in her song intro (and a glance at Simon's Chronology) we can pretty safely say that Joni visited Furry Lewis at his home in Memphis on Feb 5, 1976. So, at this point the song is very new indeed.

I thought it might be nice to create a sizzlin' summer sampler of some of my current and all-time favorite women; a collection of work that also, taken as a whole, would define the arc of a relationship headed for the cesspool off the rocky shores of doom after the heat of summer love turns bitter cold. You know. Anyway, I had included "Silky Veils of Ahdah," as we call it here in Boston, but it didn't work anywhere. In fact, I can't think of a good place to put *anything* by Joni. Have I reached my J-O-N-I limit at long last? Or is there a Joni song that would be great in this line-up: "Factory" Martha Wainwright "Somebody Hurt You" A Girl Called Eddy "You" Bonnie Raitt "The Air That I Breathe" k.d. lang "I Wanna Get Married" Nellie McKay "Some of Your Lovin'" Dusty Springfield "Heatwave" Martha & The Vandellas "My Guy' Mary Wells "I Met Him On A Sunday" Laura Nyro & Labelle "Lil' Red Rooster" Etta James "One Monkey" Gillian Welch "Useless Desire" Patty Griffin "Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby" Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss & Gillian Welch "How To Quit" Sam Phillips Thanks! - --Smurf, now with Joni content __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
