'fess up, one of you has it! http://winnipegsun.com/News/Canada/2006/08/26/1777722-sun.html Does Joni's face adorn your wall? Police hunt for bronze mask Joni Mitchell's immortal verse, "You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone," might best apply to Don Freed's predicament. A bronze mask of the influential Canadian singer's face is missing and Freed, a Winnipegger and her former flame, is trying to get it back. "It could be hanging on the wall of someone's rumpus room and they don't even know what it is, or maybe someone knows very well what it is and the value and cultural significance of it," said Freed, a 57-year-old professional singer and songwriter. Mitchell gave the mask to Freed in 1994 during their eight-year relationship. It went missing when he tried to give it back in 2005 following a chance meeting in her former hometown of Saskatoon. Freed left the mask, wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a shoebox along with a letter, at the Delta Bessborough Hotel's front desk. Freed and Mitchell, 62, realized the mask was missing in May when she told him it wasn't delivered to her hotel room. Saskatoon police are looking into the disappearance. "Some mistake has been made or something nefarious has happened," said Freed, a married father of a young girl. "At first I was very angry and dismayed, now I'm just hoping that with some public awareness it may turn up." Saskatoon police Staff Sgt. Kirby Harmon said officers don't know if the mask was stolen. Anyone with information about the missing mask is asked to call Harmon at 1-306-975-8448. Staff at Delta Bessborough don't remember accepting Freed's package, but the hotel isn't disputing his claim, general manager Andrew Turnbull said. Turnbull said he recently met with Saskatoon police, and the hotel is co-operating during the investigation. "We certainly provided them the names of people that were working that day to see if they can jog anybody's memory," Turnbull said. "To date, nothing has come of that." Freed said he's disappointed because he didn't snap a picture of the mask. "It's got every nuance of her face on it," Freed said. "Anybody who's aware of her can look at it and know who it is." He said Mitchell, a Grammy Award-winning performer, wasn't upset the mask is missing. A Toronto woman made it in 1985 from a plaster mould of Mitchell's face. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 12:47:19 -0700 From: Subject: Mermaid Cafe - Joni in Islands After 23 years of reading Islands, my two favorite subjects have finally converged ;-) From September/October 2006 Islands Magazine: MERMAID CAFE - Dana Kennedy I'ts been 35 years since Joni Mitchell sang "Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will/buy you a bottle of wine/and we'll laugh and toast to nothing/and smash our empty glasses down" in her timeless song "Carey." The Mermaid Cafe was the epicenter of a colony of hippies who lived in the sandstone caves lining the beach near the town of Matala, on the southern coast of Crete in the late 1960s. Mitchell spent a few months there. The cafe closed in 1980, but man-about-town Dimitris Houstoulakis says he fields questions daily from travelers seeking the famous gathering place - a place as mythical as Matala's ancient caves where Mitchell also hung out. "People come here and they can feel how it was," says Houstoulakis, who owns the popular Dimitris Villa Hotel. The Mermaid cafe may be gone - the taverna Delfini is now in that building - but, like the song says, the wind is still "in from Africa." Today, capture the hippie vibe at the nearby tavernas of Nikos in the village of Pitsidia, or at Vafis in Sivas. (There is a color photo of the beautiful caves and a small B&W photo of Joni playing her guitar.) ************************** Possible future Jonifest location? Maybe Dimitris can arrange a few cave rooms for us ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 16:56:34 EDT From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: Judy Collins Hi Ya'll, The concert this past Saturday night was very beautiful. The UCO Jazz club environment was very nice... intimate. She opened with Both Sides Now, sang That Song About the Midway about midway through the concert, and ended with Chelsea Morning. She sang Amazing Grace as the encore. She played a keyboard and sang Drops of Jupiter that was popularized by Train a few years ago. I love the way Judy sings it... very different from anything else she does. I just went to Best Buy and got a Judy Collins album, put it on in the car, selected Both Sides Now, and my 8 year old son asked, "Mom why is she singing a Joni Mitchell song?" I said, "I guess because she likes it."

The editor in me wonders what the point was of stating Freed's marital and parental status and what this has to do with the story. P.S. It wasn't me! I ain't been near Saskatoon... but I do have a niece who goes to school there... Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tired of spam?
