Write to me off list and I will send you the NTSC copy of Joni Live At Wembley Arena. Just make sure you make a copy and offer it up again to the list. I still haven't had any requests for the PAL copy from any Aussies yet. If there are no requests from Aussies, I will offer up the PAL copy to the UK listers, New Zealander, Japanese (if any) or anywhere else PAL is used.

I'm not talking about the Idyllwild Jazz festival which was held over a month ago, but the show on Saturday 4 November in San Diego. By now I have to accept that there is no way I can make it myself, but I can imagine that some of you listers are much closer to that venue than little me, or have more time to get there, and it seems such an exciting set-up! Indeed, it could have made a great Jonifest too... Well in any case, good luck to you, Dave and Robin. I hope many people will come and enjoy the show. Do send us a report about it, in any case! Lieve in London. - - - - - - - Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2006 21:01:33 -0700 From: Dave Blackburn Subject: "Joni" show just added to Idyllwild Jazz Festival Greetings Joniphiles, Our rather extraordinary Joni band, now a 6-piece, has been added to play on Sun Aug 27th at the Idyllwild Jazz Festival (www.idyllwildjazz.com ). This two-day event is held in the gorgeous mountain town of Idyllwild above Palm Springs CA and is situated on the campus of the Idyllwild Arts School under the pines. Any listers from L.A, San Diego or Riverside are not a long drive from here. You wanted to lose the smog anyway right? This show will bring a couple of firsts for us: the addition of Paul Carman on sax and flute and the debut of our most challenging Joni tune ever : A Chair in the Sky. Paul is a veteran L.A saxman and was part of the vaunted Frank Zappa horn section for four years. And our keyboardist Barnaby Finch toured with Tom Scott himself in the eighties as well as long stints with George Benson and Lee Ritenour. To say we have the qualified crew would be...well.....true. Looking ahead a bit, I'd like to give advance notice to all Jonilisters of our biggest show of the year on Sat Nov 4th, timed to coincide with Joni's 63rd birthday. The venue is a fantastic all-ages listening space (no blenders, talking or widescreen TVs) called Dizzy's in San Diego (dizzyssandiego.com). We will be bringing the full 6-piece band and playing well over two hours of solid Joni music, and not just the folkey material. Our show, which is largely chronological, now features For the Roses, Down to You (the whole orchestral enchilada), Harry's House, Hejira, Coyote, Dreamland, A Chair in the Sky, Cherokee Louise, Passion Play, Borderline, Night Ride Home and How do You Stop in addition to the expected hits and evergreens. This promises to be the Joni Mitchell event of the year, perhaps anywhere. We will be recording the whole deal to 24-track and may even have Joni's artwork projected above us as we play (thanks to Zooby). Please consider taking a winter junket to warm San Diego, make this a west coast Jonifest and come see the show. You can keep us honest on the lyrics!! Don't make it Last Chance Lost....

I had a good day in class today. . my green inspiration was, "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone." so while the kids were working on their tonal drawings (the OTHER thing we were doing in class. . .) making spheres and shading them with a light source, etc.. . I played Joni's Big Yellow Taxi for my 8th graders . . (from Ladies of the Canyon) (my 10th graders will hear it next period) I played it over and over about 7 or 8 times .. and they liked it. . some of them asked me to play it again. . they liked the "shoo . . ..bop bop bop bop." and some of them were singing it! over and over! : - ) I told them I would give them extra credit if they sang. . . : - ) and I also played Counting Crow's version from covers 37. . and I asked them which one they liked better? which one do you think they liked? "Play the girl again," they said. . They liked Joni's version better. . : -) one sweet student laughed every time joni sang the ending. . you know, "they paved paradise put up a parking lot" . . real high and then real low. . . it was great. . I told them that they are going to experience this if they haven't already. .. that they are not going to realize how much they loved somebody or something, until it's gone. . one said, "I already have (experienced it)." it seems like I learn this over and over again. .

I went back to read the lyrics for this song. The essence for me is that she is looking for something elusive (to the intellect) and when she forgets the search for a moment she finds what she is searching for. It is really a metaphor for life IMO. >And you want to get moving And you want to stay still But lost in the moment Some longing gets filled And you even forget to ask "Hey, Where's Barangrill?"< ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2006 10:50:30 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re: Martin Sexton - Woodstock video Love the song & love martin so what a treat, thanks for the video bob! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2006 15:16:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Norma Jean Garza Subject: Chavez Ravine--Ry Cooder sjc No other artist has hit my heart and mind like Joni has.

In the liner notes for "Harlem in Havana," from the artist's choice, Joni wrote about the Black dancing girls coming out to dance to a hot and humid, brassy stripper dance--some chewing gum--flipping their capes open and closed to the beat--liked they had done a million times-a tired, bored tease. Joni sounds similarly tired at the end of "That Song About The Midway," when she sings to the man she met at the last year's midway and who "stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear.." Like the bored, tired Harlem in Havana dancers, she woefully sings, And a voice calls out the numbers And it sometimes mentions mine And I feel like I've been working overtime I've lost my fire overtime Always playing one more hand for one more dime Slowin' down I'm getting tired 'Cause I'm midway down the midway Slowin' down, down, down, down.. Simply dreams and schemes about Joni's circus crowds I wonder about at times. Norma Jean * Tired of spam? Yahoo!

So nice to see you back!) quoted Nerina Pallot: "I maintain that if Joni Mitchell had been born a man she would have been bigger than Bob Dylan. I absolutely believe that - she Sh*ts on him lyrically. She's a better musician, a better singer... everything about her is better. And I love Bob Dylan. But if I have to go to the grave over one of them it would be Joni Mitchell." I am mainly addressing the first sentence, which rings true for me. Women, although we've come a long way babies, remain second class citizens. I am reminded of that neurobiologist at Stanford whom I recently heard about. Has anyone heard his story? Voila une example: "Barres, a neurobiologist at Stanford Medical School, knows what it's like to be a female scientist and a male one: He is a former female named Barbara who underwent a sex change nine years ago. Since he became male, "people who don't know I am transgendered treat me with much more respect. I can even complete a whole sentence without being interrupted by a man," Barres writes in his Nature article." Interesting, non? That's from: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/07/13/BAGIDJU67A1.DTL I'm sure there are better articles out there, but my weak and a lazy mind right now doesn't feel like googling. He also had a story about someone saying that his work was much better than his "sister's." (It was the work he had done as a woman.) Lieve also wrote: "So can I just be stubborn and insistent, and ask people to give that "Sophia" song a listen? I really almost found it "spooky" (but in a pleasant way) to hear such a "real Joni Mitchell song" written and produced by somebody else. I'd love to hear what others think!" I gave it a listen, but only got to hear 28 seconds. Is there somewhere else I can find it? Lieve encore une fois: "And if you agree that it's a "real JM song", which Joni album do you think it would fit in best? My own stab would be somewhere around For the Roses. I hope I won't get stoned for heresy!" Get stoned? Oh chere Lieve, don't you know? EVERYBODY must get stoned!!!
