I will try to work it out myself - but I may have to ask you for some assistance. Is it best to send it via you sent it - or is it okay to send just as a single file. I know how to download your covers but I have never actually sent music myself. I guess you will file it as some of the weird covers (cause you won't understand any of the language) I have also got the Kari Bremnes cd with english texts (Norwegian mood) - If i figure out how to send music - I'll send that too, so you can hear her in a later and more mature version - and understand the texts as well. Thanks for your latest covers. I disagree with you regarding Aimee Mann - I think you judge her very harsh. But I indeed appreciate your efforts on the covers and your comments as well. And I do agree that it would have been great to hear Mama Cass do more Joni covers. Her version of SL is a really a jewel. Another one of her's I really love, and have sort of made my own is "Make your own kind of music" I'm sure you know it. This week I made a new discovery; Sandy Denny. Great voice. I' m looking forward to get into her music. As well as Ani Di Franco. Her debut album is playing both at my cdplayer and in my head at the time. What a voice ! And what energy. Hey ! That's all for now Love Oddmund, Norway ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2006 08:10:09 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: A wee Joni mention in today's Toronto Star There's a small Joni mention (her name) in an article in this morning's Toronto Star. The article deals with cards and merch for causes and, in particular, celebrities lending their talents to these causes to sell merchandise to aid a number of different charities and causes. The Joni mention is in para 2 of the article below. At the end of the article is a list of various charities that sell cards and so on to raise money. I didn't include that list here. Joni's card for War Child Canada was mentioned here last year. But for those who haven't seen, or for those who may have forgotten, here is a direct link to the page with Joni's card. Hers appears at the top in "Box set A": http://www.warchild.ca/merchandise_cards.asp Here is the Toronto Star article: - -------------------------------------- Spotlight on aid Entertainers turn into artists as charities offer holiday cards and merchandise with proceeds supporting worthy causes Nov. 4, 2006. 01:00 AM HELEN HENDERSON LIFE WRITER Before they even reach puberty, they are soldiers, orphans, rape victims. With the help of musicians from Canada, they have a chance at life. Avril Lavigne and husband Deryck Whibley, of Sum 41, joined other artists, including The Tragically Hip, Our Lady Peace, Chantal Kreviazuk, Feist, Barenaked Ladies, Billy Talent, Joni Mitchell, Sarah McLachlan and Bruce Cockburn, in the cause of War Child Canada. Together they raise funds for medicine, food, school supplies and community aid in Afghanistan, Sudan, Congo, Somalia, Iraq and other wartorn lands. Through concerts, award-winning documentaries, merchandise and a unique series of specially designed holiday greeting cards, they also encourage North American youth to take an active role. "It was Leonard Cohen who started the idea of the cards," says War Child Canada's co-founder Sam Nutt. "The one he designed was so popular, we decided to approach other musicians. Everything took off from there." Nutt, a doctor at Women's College Hospital who specializes in treating women and children, started the group seven years ago with husband Eric Hoskins, also a doctor. War Child Canada is just one of the many not-for-profit groups offering cards and gift items for the holiday season. The proceeds support worthy causes. The list below is by no means exhaustive, but it's a start. Since most of these operations run on a shoestring budget, supplies sometimes run out. Always double-check supplies and prices before ordering. - --------------- Following this is a list and info of the charities that sell merchandise for fundraising. The whole article can be found here (for the next little while, I hope): http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&call_pageid=971358637177&c=Article&cid=1162421411023 Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tired of spam?

But to have to *sing* them, too? Oh, mon Dieu. "Bars in her head Beating frantic and snowblind Romantic and snowblind"......I would be frantic, but I'm sure Robin won't be. Songs are like tattoos. You've been to sea before. I know you guys are going to NAIL it. Or should I say, crown and anchor it! I'm beaming alll my Joni energy out to San Diego and will be with you in spirit. Nuri, encore une fois: ***Break a leg, Dave, have a great show!*** May I add my JMOCDed two cents to that? Before you break that leg -- that long leg, long lonely leg, long-silk-stockinged -- let me feel your leg under that table leaning into mine, and then get it all bruised from banging into things. I hope your band doesn't sound like typewriters; I hope you don't tremble as you sing. Do your best, and do good business! Your name's in the news. Everything's first class! Love and best wishes, Patti P., now all JMOCDed on a Saturday morning.....I'd better go round up some milk and toast and honey! P.S. Oh yeah, I will be seeing Arlo & Family at UConn tonight, hoping that good fortune allows that I get to pass him a note from Paz, a note printed on butterflies and lilac sprays from a girl who has to tell him she saw Paz somewhere. There are no degrees of separation anymore.

I don't know you "really" however feel attached (strange...), to many of you. Lately, I've been listening to Jonis album trying to find (other than the obvious) Joni laughing out loud and I must say that in many many songs, though you cannot hear her laughing out loud, you sure can feel her smiling way out. Also the beautiful story about being the prophet of your own tales, inspired by Marcie... I love those type of threads... it connects me to such a wider inner world! My name is Evelyne, I live in Montreal. I'm not a musician but a "milomane" that loves to sing (specially weird cords :-). My mother tong is french so please forgive my poor written english in advance... I've been listening to Joni for many years now, ever since I was 17 years old (I'm 38 now...), when a friend made me listen to Court and Spark. Thank you Frangois. I haven't had any contact with this man afterwards but don't think he went much further than CAS. Still, I loved the album (specially people's party) and got curious. My second album was Blue, then STOS, Clouds, Hejira (big big coup de foudre there), DJRD (Idem), HOSL, LOTC, and few month later, the rest of her published albums and from then on, ever searching and buying all of her works. Had to convert them to CD's and now, what knows what! She's with me always, she touched my soul. I have to say I never really inquired about personal specifics of her life. I was with her visions, images, feelings... and they were interacting with mine. Wow! I felt so connected! But this I guess you understand. About two years ago, I met (through a good friend, in total Joni darkness) another Joni lover. She knew Joni's words, even better than I. It was so weird to me, kind of a shock... I felt a little naked. Anyways, I realized I was kind of in the closet with Joni. Very strange since Joni is such a immense musician, poet, person! And then I found you .... Today I was listening to Turbulent Indigo (replay mode.... I do that sometimes... often actually). Though I love all the peaces on there, Job's Sad Song is special to me. I'd like to know what you think that song say for her... maybe beside the fact of getting older and weaker physically, the nauseating music bizz at times, failing marriage (?)... Or again, what does it say to you? Evelyne. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 04 Nov 2006 19:25:48 -0600 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: Out of the closet Welcome Evelyne. Isn't wonderful? I hope you enjoy your stay here. Please share your music with us and hopefully we will see you at a JoniFest in the future and get to hear you in person. Have you hear of my dear from Louisiana who was a somewhat of a big hit in your neighborhood, Zachary Richard?? I love his album Caps Enrage'. I have been listening to his album that is is mixing with another friend Mike Napolitano who coincidentaly is expecting his first child with Ani DiFranco.If you haven't heard him please check him out. That album is one of my top 10 records of all time. Best to you.

The list can move you and be moved by you as long as you don't remove yourself from yourself and it too, Evelyne. We were told lately by some Bel Air lady that we must be insane for using the interent, but i always thought that she ain't too sane herself, so keep on smiling. Hey, Evelyne, play fair and share your thoughts first. There's a lot of replay mode going here since 1957 too so break the spell, lucky girl, as i can sense some cool clear threads coming right up and served chilled.
