Here it is: after watching tom on o and then everywhere else in the free world i think i may need to up my meds shout out to brooke stand tall girl u saved a lot of women by telling ur truth my tommy needs to breathe heart humor and humility will lighten up your heavy load said joni mitchell - - - - Back to me again... Speaking of addictions, I went to visit my mother yesterday and stopped off on the way to buy her cigarettes (she's 85 and thumbs her nose at the risks). Anyway, when I asked for the cigarettes, the clerk said he needed to see my ID! I was so shocked to be asked for identification I just blurted out, "But, they're for my mother!" It's about 100 degreess out now and feels like twice that, but I think I need to go outside for a bit... - --Smurf ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!

About the Hits Songbook: note that the lyrics are wrong in the CD booklet to Hits too. (Though they are right in the actual sheet music section of the songbook.) What's amazing is that the errors are obviously from some poor soul transcribing the words *by ear* off the recording. (Wouldn't you think they could get a copy from Joni?) Has anyone ever seen the lyric errors in the Blue songbook? 'Richard' is especially bad: "Go look at your eyes, a fallen moon...You got tubes in your eyes (?)...only a face, these dark cafes.' "All I Want': 'by the light, I want to get up and jump, I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dump...So I hurt you too, then we both get so unglued.'

Ouch! That's gotta hurt! Maybe Richard was an android. ...only a face, these dark > cafes.' That's just goofy. Sounds like stoner talk. > "All I Want': 'by the light, I want to get up and > jump, I want to wreck my > stockings in some juke box dump...So I hurt you too, > then we both get so > unglued.' "By the light" doesn't make much sense in the context, (by the light of the silvery moon?) but the rest of it sounds like it could possibly be an earlier version of the lyrics or something, although "unglued" sounds awkward to me. Maybe the transcriber needs tubes... in their ears. Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi Sue, I'm glad you're enjoying the JMDL. Me too. I'm not a copyright expert but here's my understanding of the rules. When a songwriter's managment applies for copyright protection, they often submit an audio tape to a service which transcribes the words and submits them. Those words form the legal "image" of the words. When some company puts out a songbook, they pay for the right to publish the copyrighted words. As you suspected, "boy winds" is in the book of lyrics too. Once the "wrong" words are copyrighted, 'nothing can be done'. Now the good news. Go to Les' site: www.jmdl.com/lyrics Type "bully winds" into the search box, and press . You'll see that what Joni actually sang (and imprinted onto our lives) is accurately preserved. If you play guitar, there's more good news. The JMDL guitar tabs page has very accurate documents what Joni actually played. Many of the tabs in the songbooks aren't even close. If I played guitar, I wouldn't buy the songbooks; I'd spend the money on strings. Sincerely, Jim L'Hommedieu Covington, KY, US Sue Bargh said, >Good day/evening to you all, I have been a silent witness to your conversations for many months. Thank you for letting me share your witty and informative observations Can any one tell me why on page 3 of the `hits` songbook the lyrics to Urge For Going are wrong? `Boy winds came around> ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2005 22:26:55 -0500 From: "Music Is Special" Subject: Attn Current Holders of Perpetual Joni Covers Train: Volumes 1-50 Howdy, for whoever was the last to receive any of the five sets of these (vols 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40 or 41-50) -- perhaps now that 6+ months has gone by since you received these, it would be good if you could make another offer in case new folks on the list missed the last offer. It would be great if you could reoffer them everyonce and a while till you get a taker. In case anybody needs a reminder, below is a description of how these were intended to work. Thanks!
