I lived in Sierra Madre from '63 to '71, was (of course!) a huge Joni fan, tried to pick up on any Joni news, but never heard of her spending time there. Not that she couldn't have, but I'd be surprised if she had and word hadn't leaked out. Post '71 would be a possibility. *************************************************** Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA tinkersown@comcast.net "The Living Tradition Concert Series" www.thelivingtradition.org "Folk Alliance Region - West" www.far-west.org ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 05 Aug 2006 02:21:13 +0000 From: "Patti Parlette" Subject: Third-hand Joni news Dear Joniamigos: Weeding through my accumulated emails and spam and JMDL digests from the past two weeks, look at this Joni pearl (peridot?) I just found! - ------------- Subject : Joni Mitychell Hi Patti, Guess what. I stayed 4 days in Vancouver Canada with some people who knows Joni Mitchell well and had her for supper few weeks ago ... Alain - ------------ Like lightening striking from above Electric flash Just like lightening striking from above Struck by precious Joni news! I sat bolt upright and immediately called Alain for the rest of the story. I told him I want the COMPLETE REPORT! He laughed and went on to tell me that he had to go to Vancouver to get a new visa (he's a French citizen now teaching in San Diego) and somehow this family befriended him. (He makes friends easy.) (I watch for judgement anxiously.) He said that after dinner they said: "We're going to play some Joni Mitchell music for you." Alan said: "Ha! My friend Patti LOVES Joni Mitchell!" (Alain taught in my dept. for 5 or 6 years while working on his PhD and we became extremely close. We first bonded on 9/11 watching the horror unfold in our language lab on the TV and have been tight ever since. He often sent me poetry he wrote and I would respond with Joni lyrics. He did not know Joni at all at first, but after knowing me for all this time, he learned a little -- not that I ever speak obsessively about Joni or anything....LOL! As a matter of fact, he is a lot like Joni because he is multi-talented: he paints, plays the guitar, sculpts, does beautiful photography; he is a great scholar and a beloved and energetic teacher, etc. He brought me so much lovelight over the years. I miss him like crazy.) Sorry for the tangent. Joni. Back to Joni. It all comes down to Joni. He said his friends told him that Joni bought a lot of land in (or around) Vancouver because she loves the beauty there and she doesn't ever want to see it developed. I told him that Joni is also an environmentalist and gave him a quick lesson on paving paradise and parking lots. Alain was laughing by now because he knew he had just put a quarter in my Joni Whirlitzer and that I'd be whirring for a while. He said he might go back to visit these people and I made him promise to ask more questions, and told him that if he EVER happened to meet Notre Dame that he HAS to get his picture taken with her. Are there more questions I should have asked him? Of course. If you have some, let me know. I hope to speak/write to him again soon. Bon weekend, tout le Joni-monde, and as Bonnie recently pleaded, "Pray for Peace. Pray for Peace." Reading (and watching) the news, and it sure looks bad. Has anyone heard from Nuri? Love, Patti P. NPOMTV: Pema Chodron (sp?), a Buddhist nun now on Bill Moyer's PBS show "Faith and Reason." She is sure making sense to me, chosing love and kindness over "badness." I wish I had the serenity she seems to have as opposed to the anxiety I feel these days about the state of the world. PEACE OUT! ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2006 #222 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
