Pepper ["Kate Bennett" Subject: Joni Mention On Australian Idol On tonight's Australian Idol performers were allowed to play their own instrument. Lisa Mitchell performed a mesmerising rendition of the Coldplay song, See You Soon, singing and playing guitar. Judge, Mark Holden said her guitar style was reminiscent of early Joni Mitchell. The performance was exquisite. This is a girl we will all hear a lot more of in years to come regardless of whether she wins or not. Her songwriting talents are phenomenal with a voice similar to Jewel and a depth of feeling far more mature than her 16 years.

There are a of these bands and their name origins listed below. I came across this on boingboing.com. - --Smurf http://library.thinkquest.org/4626/rock.htm AC/DC - 1) It is said that one of the band member saw it on an appliance and thought it had something to do with power. (It does mean "alternating current / direct current".) The band used it not realizing it was also slang for a bisexual- the band claims NOT to be bisexual. 2) In the vogue of other anti-everything bands it stands for Against Christ/Devil's Children. ALICE IN CHAINS - a funny rumor is that they were named after a lost episode from The Brady Bunch series!... CHUMBAWAMBA - In a band member's dream, he didn't know which door to use in a public toilet because the signs said "Chumba" and "Wamba" instead of "Men" and "Women"... JETHRO TULL - popular 70's band that is named after the rather obscure inventor of the farmer's seed drill... JUDAS PRIEST - originally a mild curse said to avoid saying "Jesus Christ" - also from the Bob Dylan song "The ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest"... T PAU - after a high priestess from the planet VULCAN in the American TV series STAR TREK... YO LA TENGO -translates to "I have it" from Spanish - said to be the phrase called out by Hispanic baseball players when fielding a pop fly ball. Singer/guitar player Ira Kaplan got the expression from a book he was reading about baseball called The Five Seasons. ZZ TOP - taken from the name of a Texas Blues man ZZ Hill. Though a rumor is that they got their name by combining Zig Zag and Top, two well known brands of "cigarette" rolling papers. Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Does anyone have an updated version of Joni's appearance at BBC, which collectors call "the Pink Dress Concert"? Is the pink dress show the one titled "Joni Mitchell Sings Joni Mitchell", filmed in Sept 1970 and broadcast Oct 9, 1970? I don't have cable, but there's a TV listing on the Ovation station which sounds like that night. Is it playing on Ovation? >"In Concert: Joni Mitchell" Recorded in London, Joni Mitchell performs some of her biggest hits including "Chelsea Morning," "Big Yellow Taxi," "Both Sides Now" and more. About: In Concert Classic performances from major rock stars of the sixties and seventies. Recorded between 1970 and 1971, these concerts reflect the mood and creativity of the era.> All the best, Jim L. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 12:18:09 -0400 (EDT) From: "Gerald A.

I just watched an "Ask Jeeves" commercial and saw a strawberry blond model sporting a dead ringer Joni-do! I've seen the same do on models in magazines as well. Has anyone else picked up on this?

During jimi's performance of 'the wind cries mary' how much one of the verses reminded me of 'I had a king'... I don't think they met til years later & they'd both already written these songs by then but still... Jimi "A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterdays life Somewhere a queen is weeping somewhere a king has no wife And the wind it cries mary" Joni "I had a king in a tenement castle Lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown He's taken the curtains down He's swept with the broom of contempt And the rooms have an empty ring He's cleaned with the tears Of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting I can't go back there anymore You know my keys won't fit the door You know my thoughts don't fit the man They never can they never can" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 20:17:45 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Rubber Soul begets Pet Sounds which begets Sgt. Pepper PM >"God Only Knows" is a big favourite of mine ... very emotional, always a bit of a choker for me, that one.< I couldn't believe the exquisite beauty of that song when I first heard it & it still stops me in my tracks all these years later... ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2006 #295 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
