I found a partial MP3 file of her singing "Leaving on a Jet Plane" -- just 1:04 long -- but haven't been able to figure out where it's from.

I suspect - and would be willing to bet large amounts of money (that I don't have, so it's all moot) - that this is one of those songs inappropriately attributed to Joni, the kind you can get off Kazaa and similar websites, and that never get corrected because they spread quickly. Joni has also incorrectly been identified as the singer on "One tin soldier" (in fact recorded by The Original Caste and Coven). Interesting how someone somewhere thought the singer sounded like Joni - I never could hear Joni in that. - --- ric.pompeyfan@tiscali.co.uk wrote: > I have an MP3 that claims to be Joni singing this > song but I have to say > it doesn't sound like her. > > Ric > > >-- Original Message -- > >Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 05:16:55 -0500 > >To: joni@smoe.org > >From: "Michael R.

This special collection of photographs, drawings, writings and other memorabilia, on loan from Myrtle and Bill Anderson, provides an intimate glimpse into the formative years and childhood imagination of their world-famous daughter, the legendary musician, songwriter, poet and visual artist Joni Mitchell. Joni was born Roberta Joan Anderson on November 7, 1943, in Fort McLeod, Alberta, but grew up in Saskatchewan. Her parents moved around a lot, living in Creelman, Maidstone and North Battleford, before settling in Saskatoon when she was eleven years old. Joni proudly considers Saskatoon her hometown. This exhibition documents Jonis youth from infancy to high school years, and derives from a scrapbook lovingly compiled by Myrtle Anderson and titled The Life and Times of Roberta Joan Anderson. Myrtle, a teacher who taught grades one through eight in a one-room rural schoolhouse, describes her young daughter as having been "precocious, strong-minded, always talking and busy, busy, busy." For Anne Bayan, Jonis long-time childhood friend, "she was a force of nature... magnetic, daring and inventive." The sources of Jonis numerous artistic and creative adult accomplishments may be found in some indissoluble blend of the effects of nature and nurture. As for early influences, she was an only child, and her supportive parents provided her with many opportunities. Starting with a small blackboard as a gift for her second birthday, Myrtle made sure her daughter had art supplies and even let her paint a tree on her bedroom wall. Jonis friends and peers recognized her talent for drawing, and, as she had an early predilection for music, which may have been inherited from both of her grandmothers, she was given piano lessons at age seven. The Andersons also thought it important that Joni experience the world beyond Saskatchewan and took vacations in the United States, where she saw the Lewis and Clark Caverns and a geyser in Yellowstone National Park. Like all children, she enjoyed playing dress-up and making angels in the snow. Her father, Bill, a grocer who played the trumpet, made a bowling alley in the basement of their home, and she became an excellent bowler, playing on a team and winning several trophies. Outside of her parents, there were other important influences. Playmates Frankie McKitrick and Peter Armstrong shared their passion for music and she was fortunate in grade seven, at Queen Elizabeth Public School, to have had an exceptionally responsive teacher named Arthur Kratzman. His advice to her was to "write and paint in your own blood." But perhaps the most profound experience that shaped Jonis creative sensibility occurred when she was hospitalized with polio at age nine. She states, "Polio probably did me good.... I drew like crazy and sang Christmas carols to the other patients.... The creative process was an urgency...a survival instinct.... I believe convalescence in bed develops a strong inner life in a young child. I think it solidified me as an independent thinker. Nietzche was a convalescent." The creative impulse is a quintessential attribute of all children, who have an honest sensitivity to, and unbridled curiosity about the world around them. In early childhood there is an easy, natural commerce among expressive media  singing, dancing, role playing, drawing  which develops out of personal experience and serves as a natural means for working out various potent themes in a childs life. As adults, we can learn much from the depth of perception and emotional honesty expressed in the imaginative play of children, which for many people seems to progressively wane as they grow older. This exhibition suggests that the interdisciplinary relationship between music, poetry and visual art that is fundamental to Joni Mitchells unique genius had its impetus in the artists childhood, reinforcing a theory posited by Edith Cobb (The Ecology of Imagination in Childhood), that adult creativity is built upon a childhood sense of self and world. Although childhood is so short-lived in terms of time, it is lasting in impact and memory. As Joni herself states, "you carry your childhood with you.... When the spirit of child's play enters into the creative process, it's a wonderful force and something to be nurtured." The Mendel Art Gallery is delighted to be working with Joni Mitchell on the creation of "The Joni Mitchell Cafi", as part of the plans for an expanded facility. This unique, multi-sensory space of image, word and sound will celebrate the creative spirit through the telling of Jonis story, and provide a pilgrimage destination for her many fans around the world. Terry Graff, Executive Director & CEO Seventy-Seven Signs Ltd. & Mastergraph Inc. are gratefully acknowledged as exhibition sponsor for The Amazing Childhood of Joni Mitchell. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 21:32:17 +0000 From: "Patti Parlette" Subject: Slouching Towards Bethlehem Sherelle wrote (among other beautiful heartfelt stuff): This book by Joan Didion sounds like it is a very good one. I would like to read it because the excerpt definitely speaks to my heart. - ------ You know how I compared her one paragraph to Joni lyrics? I just learned that Joan Didion wrote a book of essays called "Slouching Towards Bethlehem." This may be common knowledge here but it's new to me. (Am I living in a dream these days?) Joan and Joni. Interesting, non?
