[Catherine McKay Subject: Re: More You Tube Joni covers Wow! What an extraordinary talent. This guy has a future in music. He has done justice to Joni's songs by tackling each one with equal talent no matter how difficult they are to sing or play. I just love every cover he has attempted. Watch out for Danillo. I have recorded these covers as sound recordings if anybody wants them.

I ain't got nuttin' against "ain't", even though it seems incongruous coming from someone with Joni's mostly perfect grammar and diction (with a few exceptions) - after all, everyone else was talking that way. And if Joni had simply ended it there, she might have had a Hallmark rhyme, so I'm glad she tacked on "afraid" at the end. But "those ones" sets my teeth on edge.

After all they are covers of Joni songs.> I wish it was totally black & white, there are some shades of grey to be sure. I've stumbled upon quite a few live performances of Joni songs on the internet, some I capture and some I don't. If it's a well-known artist, and the quality of the recording is high, then I absolutely include it. I suppose you could debate as to whether or not putting a self-made video on youtube counts as "releasing" a recording or not. So, to positively side-step your question...it depends. For now, in this case, I am not going to include them in the database. I'm really intrigued that Danilo chose to youtube all these covers; then again, maybe that's the easiest and most practical way, and it's certainly a way to get them heard. I found the videos riveting and honest, and I admire the fact that he plays everything as it's written as opposed to doing the gender-switching thing. By now he's probably got the whole Joni songbook up there (except of course for the 80's stuff which folks avoid like the plague).

The singer-songwriter-poet-artist spent some of her earliest years in the city, and, though born in Fort MacLeod, Alta., and living in Los Angeles, she still describes Saskatoon as her hometown."

She says "those ones *THAT* ain't afraid" which is another purposeful grammatical error. Since she's talking about people, I think it's supposed to be "those who are not afraid." 1. those ones 2. that 3. ain't I agree with you, Catherine. It's incongruous for Joni to mis-use English like this. Why did she do it here? Was she trying to lighten the heavy topic with blue-collar language? If so, she didn't feel the need very often. She's usually philosophical and rarely dumbs it down. All the best, Jim L. - --- Catherine McKay wrote: > What bothers me is "those ones". ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 13:43:33 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: "A Case Of You", was: A blooper anyone ?

In beyond_em@yahoogroups.com, "simonheath.geo" wrote: Possibly part of the reason I found myself liking her so much is her enviable simple-but-effective guitar technique, having myself just got my first 12 string acoustic, the playing of which rewards doing less, and doing it slower. Be aware that she often used alternative tunings on those early albums (Bass E tuned down to a C for the track Song to a Seagull, f.e.). This can be really puzzling when you pick up a song book which has tablature in standard tuning. - ------------------------------------------------------------- As Tim said, "Clouds" is the one most like the first album, and my interest in her work tailed off after it. Tracks "I Don't Know Where I Stand", "That Song About The Midway", "The Gallery" and "Both Sides Now" (The 'Clouds' song) are the standouts for me. Chelsea Morning (from 'Clouds') and Night In The City (Seagull) are both good songs, but much more uptempo in a 'Big Yellow Taxi' kind of way. These two albums lead me to buying an acoustic guitar way back in the 1980s. Suffice to say, I never approached Joni's abilities on the instrument, never mind being able to sing in such an incredible way at the same time ! I don't think you'd be disappointed by either purchase as a CD. I think I was able to pick them up for a fiver each. Grant M. - ------------------------------------------------------- Talking of KS and his style of BS, I was surprised to find myself enjoying the ethereal vocals and enchanted acoustic guitar of Joni Mitchell's "I Had A King" from her first album ( because it was in some strange way similar to the listening experience of early KS ), on hearing it on the radio. I would never have known I might feel that way about her work, so I was as shocked as I was pleased. Is the rest of that album like that? Yeah, Song to a Seagull is my fave album, and there are some lovely tracks in a similar vein: "The Dawntreader", "Song to a Seagull" and "Cactus Tree" all send a shiver down my spine. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 21:30:19 EDT From: RoseMJoy@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni Anderson in 1964 In a message dated 8/8/2006 7:21:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time, JOSEPHBMCGOWAN@aol.com writes: On a Wednesday Evening in the Fall of 1964 a Young Joni Anderson played a Small Club in Toronto called the Half Beat.
