This particular quote woke me up this morning: "We have a war dictator who was not elected, he snuck in. so he punishes people that threaten him in any way, or even say something he doesn't like. It has no resemblance to democracy. " _Joni Mitchell_ (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/j/jonimitche266610.html) Wow, vivid. Wonder what colors she'd paint this with paints?

Ian is known to us thanks to the ever vigilant King of Joni Covers Bob Muller. But we always appreciate posts about those who perform Joni's music, not only as a reminder, but in the rare case Mr. Muller had not heard of it.

Henry" Subject: The Te-na-ment Castle Just in case this hasn't been posted before, as a matter of Joni history, here is an actual picture of the apartment building Chuck and Joni lived in on the 5th floor, just off the Wayne State campus in Detroit back in '65-'67. The 'tenament castle' referred to in IHAK: http://www.campusvillage.com/Detroit/home.htm This is verified by the name of the building and the street corner it occupies which can be found in this article: http://www.jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=647 This is for sure the very same building. Just thought some might find this interesting. Cheers, Pat ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2006 13:25:10 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Paging Kellerfrau! Sorry not to mark this njc but I'm trying to reach Moni Keller-person and am not sure if she's Joni-only or other. Moni, you sent some info about a program you use in preference to MS-office and I think you said it was a free download. I seem to have lost your e-mail from several mos ago. I've upgraded to XP and am looking now for my office disks. I recently moved and I know they're in a shoebox, but havent' found it yet, although I have found many shoeboxes full of many other things and know I have seen this stuff since moving at some point. If I don't find them, I'd like to check this out and would like to try it anyway. Thanks.

"Oh speak again, bright angel." Can any of you wonderful Joni-researchers (Bobs? Jerry? Anyone?) verify that Joni really said this? (Maybe it's already been proven false...I'm on "digest" so I don't know...) And if she did say this, my Marianne, can you make it into a poster for me? ("oh I know you can -- C'mon Marianne!")

She's his labelmate on Linn Records, she's done a couple of Joni covers too, including Blue Motel Room which is a duet with Ian. This is a fine, fine CD. When it first came out it was only available as an import, now it's gettable on Amazon and other domestic sources. Copies are also showing up on ebay. Ian brings a real sense of freshness to these songs, and does three that nobody else has recorded (Talk To Me, Stay In Touch, For Love Or Money). Adventurous as he might be however, he sidesteps that 80's material just like everybody else. I was greateful to be able to help write the press release for Linn's Marketing Director, and also did what I could to help promote it.

Here's the entire quote in its original context: ****************************************** J.M. Most of this is such truisms that, in reality, there really aren't any arguments against it. We are leaving the culture in terrible decay, morally. Then there is this rise of this aberration of fundamentalism everywhere, combative religions that have nothing to do with the prophets that started hem, a complete misinterpretation of the meaning of their figurehead. So you have this mounting aggressive ignorance with the rabbit's Foot of their particular religion. You don't really have any kind of spiritual law, just a kind of a rabid mental illness. The songs are a little slice of life, and the subject matter happens to be "advertising." It happens to be "The courts are like game shows." It happens to be 'War was being preached from Baptist pulpits hack in the 80's, and it is being preached from the pulpit again." We have a war dictator who was not elected, he snuck in. so he punishes people that threaten him in any way, or even say something he doesn't like. E.C. So it's the opposite of democracy. J.M. It has no resemblance to democracy. ***************************************** There is certainly no doubt as to what Joni thinks of the current administration.

Just mho! > >Jamie Zoob Hey! This mailing list is full of surprises! I guess we went to different shows, mine was in Soho, in a strip joint, it was quite funny to see this jazzy audience trying to find their bearings. By the end of his show, it was quite funny to see an entirely different audience entering, looking at us and him and thinking WHAT IS THIS?? He introduced a jazz singer, about 20 years old, but with an amazing voice, probably the same as the one you heard. She sang like a much older woman. I don't really know his Joni covers, I listened to some of them on his website and he only sang one or two on the night. You can tell he has learned things from her, can't you. I can almost hear him saying "Drink out now it's getting time to close" the exact same way as she does. It was a fun evening, but I think he did the wrong thing by singing so many different things, because he was more like an entertainer I thought than a singer. As if he didn't really have his own thing...? benie NP Hank Williams Wealth wont save your soul - ever since I went to the same Patti Smith night as Garret last Friday I've been playing Hank Williams, because she played one of his songs. Good choice if you don't know too many chords on the guitar (and she didn't, surprisingly)! ------------------------------ Date: 17 Sep 2006 23:56:08 +0100 From: Benedicte Nielsen Subject: Re: English Jonicover On Sep 17 2006, Bob Muller wrote: > >Claire Martin.

She's not the singer he had as a guest in the show I saw, she was very young, and her debut album would be released the following day I think (3 June).
