JUST T E L L U S W H A T I T I S . . and WE the counsel will give you a prescription. ie. we will give a joni line or prescribe a joni song to get you through. For example: Dear counsel, I am having problems at work with my associates: we will simply tell you something like . . . "the jackoffs at the office" OR "feck your strangers." for someone who may be having a search for deeper meaning, perhaps something like: "it all comes down to you." need a prescription? just ask. Who is the counsel?

Joni has covered almost enough Dylan songs to make a mini compilation on your ipod, yeah? 1.. There's that gorgeously vibrant 'Mr. Tambourine Man' (dulcimer-strummed and not-quite-sure-of-the-words) from.. somewhere 2.. There's 'I Shall Be Released' with Cass Elliott and Mary Travers. 3.. And 'Girl from the North Country' sung with Johnny Cash (or is that a traditional song?) 4.. There's 'It's All over Now Baby Blue' from the Geffen Box (and would you believe it, I still haven't heard it yet - too broke to pay those prices!) 5.. I read she also sang 'Sweetheart Like You' at the 2002 'stormy weather ' concert. Did anybody there make a recording of it - please?? 6.. You could even include the snatch of 'Positively Fourth Street' which we hear on 'Woman of Heart and Mind' (or somewhere)! Did I miss any? Any other Dylan songs people would like to have heard Joni try?? (Me, I've always had an odd liking for 'One More Cup of Coffee for the Road '., maybe 'Idiot Wind'. or 'When the Ship Comes In'. 'Restless Farewell'.? .What about that amazing 'Mississippi' song from 'Love & Theft'. Can you imagine Joni's smoky voice on that one? Mm - mm.) All this talk of Dylan covers brings me neatly to ..Judy Collins, who recorded a great album of Dylan songs ('Just Like a Woman') a few years back. Then last year released an album of Leonard Cohen Songs, this time mostly garnered from previous albums. So. Wouldn't it be a good idea if she completed the trilogy?! Let's think.what other great songwriter did she interpret so effectively in those earlier days??! Ah yes. So, like she did with the Cohen album, she could use what she's already got (BSN, Chelsea Morning, Michael from Mountains, For Free, Song about the Midway..) and record some new ones to make it to a dozen or more. What extras would you like to hear, Jeff? I hear you ask. Well, since you ask, Judy, I'd like you to cover: (in any order) No Apologies Tin Angel Last Chance Lost Melody in Your Name The Beat of Black Wings Lesson in Survival Silky Veils Of Ardour Impossible Dreamer Blue Boy Sisotowbell Lane It would be a nice CD, I think. Judy Collins does a fine, workmanlike job, covering. (Dear me, all this fantasy compilation! I really ought to get out more.)

And 'Girl from the North Country' sung with Johnny Cash (or is that a traditional song?)> That is indeed a Dylan composition. <4.. There's 'It's All over Now Baby Blue' from the Geffen Box (and would you believe it, I still haven't heard it yet - too broke to pay those prices!)> Can't blame you for that - hang in there, mate - the price of that one will drop as time goes by. <5.. I read she also sang 'Sweetheart Like You' at the 2002 'stormy weather ' concert. Did anybody there make a recording of it - please??> Hasn't seen the light of day as far as I know. While I'd love to hear Joni do some others, she'd probably give them the full schmaltzy orchestra treatment with Wayne Shorter adding his annoying squeals and at the end of the day we'd all wished she hadn't done them.

If so, what, specifically, are you afraid of? To which I respond: Um, you're not a Red Sox fan, are you? I don't care about his complexion, I just hate it when he's at bat. Matsui too. Definitely NOT an A-Rod (A-Fraud) fan either. Sorry if I'm making light of a serious subject. And, btw, Derek Jeter was named after Derek Sanderson who HATED any NY teams.

You've unwittingly mentioned an existing link between Joni and Dylan with the song "One More Cup Of Coffee". In the article below, she mentions this song: http://www.jmdl.com/library/view.cfm?id=946&ss= The specific paragraph is: The next time we had a brief conversation was when Paul McCartney had a party on the Queen Mary, and everybody left the table and Bobby and I were sitting there. After a long silence he said, "If you were gonna paint this room, what would you paint?" I said, "Well, let me think. I'd paint the mirrored ball spinning, I'd paint the women in the washroom, the band...." Later all the stuff came back to me as part of a dream that became the song "Paprika Plains." I said, "What would you paint?" He said, "I'd paint this coffee cup." Later, he wrote "One More Cup of Coffee." So it appears that song was "inspired" by a conversation with Joni ;o) Hell ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2005 17:50:29 -0500 From: "Michael Flaherty" Subject: Re: joni and bob and judy and joni On Sun, 11 Sep 2005 16:04:31 -0700 (PDT) Bob Muller wrote: > While I'd love to hear Joni do some others, she'd >probably give them the full schmaltzy orchestra treatment >with Wayne Shorter adding his annoying squeals and at the >end of the day we'd all wished she hadn't done them. I'm with you on the schmaltzy orchestra, but not Wayne Shorter. He can play along w/ Joni any time, for my money. Well, OK, maybe not on Dylan covers, not that I really want her to do more of those anyway ....
