You should!!! I've just enjoyed listening to one hour of quality radio from New Zealand. Rebecca Blundell has done a great job - searching through and capturing important stories and songs of our beloved Lady...I see that Radio New Zealand will feature Joni as the weeks artist every weekday 9 am. bad timing for Norwegian (I don't want to be at my work- where I have internet at 11 in the night )- but maybe it works better for other on the list. Higly recomended!!! I love quality Radio! - - Oddmund - Norway Hi everyone This is a bit of shameless self-promotion, but there's a 6 part Joni Mitchell Composer of the Week series on Concert FM, Radio New Zealand's fine (read mostly classical) music network, beginning 9am this Sunday 30 July NZ time. The first programme is repeated on Monday night at 7pm and is an overview of Joni's musical life featuring musical excerpts. Then each morning Monday - Friday (31 July - 4 August) at 9am there are 5 programmes which move through Joni's career chronologically, featuring a lot of music from Joni's recordings. If anyone wants to listen in, Concert FM streams live on the net - - - here's the link: http://www.radionz.co.nz/audio/live/concert If you want to know more about what's in the programmes, go to the schedules page http://www.radionz.co.nz/cfm/schedules, click on each day individually and scroll to 9am to read more about what's on each day. If you do get a chance to listen in, I hope you enjoy it :) Rebecca Blundell (writer and presenter of the programmes and big Joni fan) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 07:58:13 -0700 From: Dave Blackburn Subject: RE: A blooper anyone? Thanks to all who contributed on this thread. There were some elaborate and strenuous defenses of that "A Case of You" line with "afraid" tacked on the end by some very thoughtful and educated people and I think the verdict is in: we don't question scripture :) Dave Blackburn (B.A, M.A Literature) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 11:13:02 -0400 (EDT) From: notaro@stpt.usf.edu Subject: RE: A blooper anyone?

While we were > talking all > of a sudden "Blue" played on the TV. It was part of a TV show > called Saved, > but John I both thought whoa.... I remember that day like it was yesterday. I had just arrived to New Orleans and was sitting up on the stage, singing "Long May You Run" when in walked Kakki, Leslie and Steve Mixon, Claudia, John Van Tiel, Paz, etc...We later absconded to another coffeehouse where I played an impromptu set along with Steve on mandolin. At one point, Jack, had inadvertently locked the keys in the van. This was the first time I ever met Jack and I have pleasant memories of that whole evening. We ended up at a late night Chinese restaurant and serenaded the wait staff for several hours. I remember Paz singing "Long Ago and Far Away"...which is what those days seem like sometimes.

They are processed heavily through mid-eighties electronic bombast which has not aged well but the actual sound of the album is tinny and distant, in a sense completely undermining the bombast. I thought I'd better fix the matter... So I have remastered the album and brought the presence, bottom end and vocal clarity up to what one expects from a CD nowadays. I will be glad to make this available to list members at no charge if you email me. I must ask that you already be the owner of DED so I am not cheating Joni out of a royalty, and as this is technically unauthorized duplication I'd prefer to keep the whole thing from reaching the attention of the suits. If you wanted to make a small PayPal donation to me to defray mailing and materials costs I wouldn't say no (use this address) I am just now digging the album the way I always wanted to because the sound is now visceral and big. I hope others will enjoy the new/ improved version too.

Other times, > rhyming works remarkably well. I saw an interview with Leonard Cohen recently, in which he talked about having to make things rhyme in his poems/songs, and said that the discipline of making rhyme forced him into creating some pretty good lyrics that he otherwise probably wouldn't have.

Well, he would know, but sometimes awkward lyrics are just there TO rhyme. Still, while I'm basically anti-rhyme in poetry, it does tend to work well in song.
