Henry" Subject: Another year... Hi Robert, Happy Birthday my friend! ...and many happy returns. Also belated thanks much for the great cd's and download. The sound quality on these seems to have come a long way from that old 2nd fret tape. Ya know there are enigmas in this life and ranking up there with my 'only 3 of us from those days and all from the cellar' broken-record-rant is this: How in the hell, with all these concert and coffeehouse recordings we have from the very same time, do we NOT have any recording of Moon In The Mirror. Bob, I swear it was the top requested song after Circle Game and Urge For Going! It's just so strange that we have multiple recordings of songs like Dr. Junk, London Bridge and Drummer Man, songs that I hardly recall her performing, if she ever did, and yet I know for a fact personally that she performed MITM every single time she performed at the Cellar, 1/1-2 months from early '66 to late '67. o well, I guess these are just mysteries I have to live with but it still doesn't make sense. Pls let me know if you ever run across it, ok? tanx. Again, thanks for the music. Take Care, Pat ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 10:02:26 EDT From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni art work A question from Hell: So what is your favourite Joni art work? Hell that's a good question! I am particularly fond of the landscapes from 2002 with Travelogue. I really love the one where the sun is coming through the trees and the person is walking with the dog-like figure in the Fall. I love the way the yellow and orange are at the center of the painting and the location of the white sun. I also really get into the 1995 painting, "In the Park of the Golden Buddha." The perspective is fascinating and draws me in. I wish there were lithographs of these. Windows they would be to me if I could look at them on a wall. Love, Laura ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 15:29:07 +0100 From: "Jamie's Box of Paints" Subject: Re: Hell about Joni's art My favourite piece is Sweet Sucker Dance (Abundance and Decline) it's the cover to the Mingus album. So rich and expressive, I have the poster version of it on my wall at home above my bed... Also After The Bombing Of Dresden is another favourite.... it's Donald reading the papers in the morning. Very brown.

At times she was struggling to hit the right notes with > varying results. I am under the impression that when recording an album, flat or scruffy notes can be modified by technology so that they will sound perfect. Is that the case? In which, it makes sense to me that Joni liked the way her voice sounded on the BSN recording -- you know, "imperfect," (arguable, certainly!), which is how in reality the voice's body seems to become as it ages -- and much more true than those modified notes. Now Our Joan, she has never bought into making herself appear "perfect" (has she?) so why should she now? I think she left those "real" notes in there on purpose. And I think they work.

I popped in over at the Joni website just to browse for some titles and was pleasantly surprised by how many pieces are on display over there! I really like the one called "Middle Point" where Joni (or someone else) is sitting on a cliff over a sunset lit river. This one was featured in the WOHAM video with her Mingus music playing in the background. Although the music was written during a different time period, I thought it really played well with painting. I think this is where Joni talks about clearing her head by painting. http://www.jonimitchell.com/artwork/browse.cfm?id=239 "Picnic (After Monet)" is another great one: http://www.jonimitchell.com/artwork/browse.cfm?id=177 I also like "The Delirium Paintings" which apparently Joni painted in 1977 when she was hospitalized for a month - a month?!?! Does anybody here know why Joni was hospitalized for a whole month? http://www.jonimitchell.com/artwork/browse.cfm?id=84 And the "Hissing of Summer Lawns" is just so great, with the big snake getting hauled off to the church, etc.. http://www.jonimitchell.com/artwork/browse.cfm?id=117 Oh, and "Portrait of James Taylor" only because I swear my parents had the same exact bedspread back in the '70's : D http://www.jonimitchell.com/artwork/browse.cfm?id=28 I can't really say I dislike any except for that tongue kissing one between her and (I think) Donald.
