I'm glad that I created something that could evoke that special time. I'm going to think of that when I look at that wallpaper now, Pat. I am so disappointed now that I once had the opportunity to catch Joni's one and only show in Sydney and didn't go. I live now vicariously through people like you and of course my art. This is why I need to interact in some way with Joni and create these wallpapers and my CD covers. Maybe this is another reason why her face must be included in every wallpaper, Bene.

Henry" Subject: Re: Wall paper G'day Mark, Thank YOU for creating it! I was dumbstruck the moment I saw it, as if someone had accessed my most private memories and rendered them for all to see. I have to say I love many of your works, but, to me, that one stands out in a big way! Most of the time, especially after she began being booked separate from Chuck, when she wasn't onstage there she was, sitting accross from me, half the time at my behest, the other half at hers... One time I recall most vividly was when she taught me "Circle Game". That was when she first taught me the G tuning and I remember how I loved the sound of those two chords where you play the bar over the top of the neck and how beautiful that part of the melody sounded with them. One thing I can offer those who never had the pleasure and privelege of meeting/knowing Joni personally is that with her, what you see is exactly what you get. In my time of booking performers for the Cellar I met so many and one thing that was almost universal was the intense egotism and dislike of any other performer. Joni was none of that. If you ask anyone who knew her back then, Dave, Buffy, Tom, Steve, Neil, they'll tell you the same. She never acted 'the star'... when she came offstage she was just the same so, when you see her in concert or interview, the way she talks, the way she laughs, (she was always joking and laughing) that's just how she was when she came down off the stage and sat down at your table, which she often did. Anyway, the end result is, because she lets her true self shine through in any public appearance of any kind, it enables everyone to know the 'real Joni'. I don't think I said all that very well... I hope I got my meaning across. Best Always, Pat - -- "The last time I saw Joni was Detroit in '68..." http://www.angelfire.com/pq2/phenryboland/ - -- > That's a great memory to keep.

Hi folks, I love the new look on the website, it's great and very informative. Thanks to you folks who do all that, whoever you are, still don't really know you guys yet! I was very excited to see that Joni's artwork and music will be the foundation of a ballet in Canada this winter; even thinking of making a roadtrip to see this, I am sure you guys understand, you are crazy fans, too, right? : ) Also very exciting to hear Joni's b-day saluted by Rosie O'D Joni's vibe is getting strong out there in the world, folks, get ready ...

Organizers say the music legends are among four songwriters and 25 songs to be celebrated at a black-tie gala in Toronto on Jan. 28. Raymond Egan, who wrote songs for films and Broadway musicals, and Quebec chanteur Jean-Pierre Ferland are the two other artists to be honoured. Classic songs to be inducted include Mitchell's "Help Me" and "Big Yellow Taxi" and Sylvia Tyson's "You Were on My Mind," recorded with her then-husband Ian Tyson. Canadian tenor Henry Burr and folk music impresario Sam Gesser will each receive a legacy award. Songs must be more than 25 years old to be considered for the awards, launched four years ago. "Like previous honourees, the 2007 inductees have made an invaluable contribution to Canada's cultural legacy through the timeless art of song," hall of fame chairman Peter Steinmetz said in a release. The honour comes as Mitchell is said to be working on her first new album in eight years. The acknowledgment for Carter, regarded as the father of country music in Canada, comes 10 years after his death in December 1996. His 1932 recording of "My Swiss Moonlight Lullaby" - which showcased his yodelling - is considered the first hit by a Canadian country performer. Carter, born in Port Hilford, N.S., pursued a parallel career in the United States under the name Montana Slim and performed well into his 80s. The gala performance will be broadcast on CBC Radio the following day and on CBC-TV in March 2007. - - A list of the 2007 inductees into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, announced Thursday: Songwriters: Folk music icon Joni Mitchell, country pioneer Wilf Carter, Quebec chanteur Jean-Pierre Ferland, Broadway and film composer Raymond Egan.
