Which ones are they? Is he on any of her studio albums? Searching the site I think I found out he might be on Shadows and Light...? If, then that would be my next Joni purchase. The album poll is fun! Has anyone looked at it and found that it corresponds to their taste? Because apart from Hejira up as number one, I find that my preferences couldn't be more different from what the list has.

"So, you see, how can I separate with something that's in my blood?" In your blood like what? You didn't complete the Joni sentence, sweetie! Yes, since I was fourteen, I've Joni over me. Every step of the way. I don't want to bore the old-timers here with all the details encore une fois, but it began in 1968 with STAS. I was chairperson of the sophomore class dance and named it "Night in the City" (not to be denied...it's my party and I'll do Joni if I want to!) and wrote two high school essays on Joni. The first was from a list of suggested topics from my sophomore English teacher ("We are stardust, we are golden, and we've got to the get ourselves back to the garden") (sophomore jive) and the second was "The Impressionism of Joni Mitchell" from senior English/creative writing class. I wish I could find those now. I wonder how deep or superficial they were. Yes, Joni is in my blood like holy wine, too, and I'm ready for a transfusion in this new year. Does anyone know when it's coming? I've a mighty mighty thirst. Help me, Joni, get through the breakdown of this century. Love & peace, Patti P., so tired of and troubled by the war and the bloody non-changes _________________________________________________________________ Valentines Day -- Shop for gifts that spell L-O-V-E at MSN Shopping http://shopping.msn.com/content/shp/?ctId=8323,ptnrid=37,ptnrdata=24095&tcode=wlmtagline ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2007 21:31:29 -0500 From: Victor Johnson Subject: Goat dance From a website regarding Romanian culture : http://cimec.cilea.it/ o?< With the Romanians, the goat was believed to be the animal that could show if the weather was to be fine or foul. Most certainly at first the "capra" dance (the kiling, the mourning, the burial, the resurection) was a solemn ceremony, a part of the cult. As part of the agrarian festivities the dance has become a ritual designed to bring fertility in the coming year, an increase in the number of animals in the shepherdsb flocks, bumper crops - invoked and evoked by the grains flung by the host over the procession of the bcapra". The "capra" dance, generalized all over the country by the end of the 19th century and considered a pagan dance, a lot of members of the clergy refused to receive the procession in their houses, considering it bforbidden by the Christian religion". (Gr.Tocilescu) Nowadays the dance is only a pretext for one of the traditional artistic events, an opportunity for displaying beautiful ornaments, carpets, towels, and so on, all in bright colours, at times rather loud, to cheer up the householders and to express best wishes on the occasion of the New Year. In the villages and townships of MaramureB: - two distint types of this dance are performed: the "capra" dance - based only on a musical accompaniament (at Ieud, only one piper; at Botiza, four or six pipers) the "capra" dance included in a complex folk show. The same as in the other dances with masks performed during the winter holidays, in the "capra" dance, besides the classical masks, the goat, the shepherd, the gipsy, the woodman masks of bdevils" and of bgreybeards" were introduced, where yells, lusty cheers, funny gestures, intensified the cheerful, humorous aspect, at times lending it a nuance of grotesque. o?< ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2007 21:49:04 -0500 From: Victor Johnson Subject: goat dance further clarification Capra dance( also known as the goat dance) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2007 19:53:38 -0800 (PST) From: Michael Flaherty Subject: Re: Don Juan's Reckless Daughter From: Azeem Ali Khan >The Silky Veils of Ardor is one of Joni's most underrated songs; I've often been puzzled that it isn't more lauded, and is usually absent from discussion of highlights from DJRD. I absolutely love that performance, but it's not really a "Joni" song, as it's heavily based on an Irish folk ballad. So much has already been said on DJRD that I won't add much except to say it's probably my third favorite Joni album (after H and HoSL). "Paprika Plains" is gorgeous--musically and lyrically. "Otis and Marllena", "Dreamland" the title track ... creative music, insightful lyrics, with some incredible musicians. As for the term "jazz", I would agree that Joni hasn't made a true "jazz" album, except perhaps "Mingus", but I think everything from HoSL through S&L has a "jazz influence", and I tend to use that term rather than just "jazz" in itself. Perhaps that was influenced by the company she was keeping, but I suspect it was more a case that the company she was keeping was chosen to fit with her direction in songwriting. I'm hoping that's true for her current music. Michael Flaherty _____________________________________________________________________________ _______ No need to miss a message.

At least in my own use of the term "jazz" I did not mean to imply that Joni was releasing jazz albums but as you said, albums with a jazz influence and I still believe that if you are into and appreciate jazz that you will appreciate these albums more.
