I agree with you about being uncomfortable in public. It gets old when it's the same doldrums, but Joni's always exploring and I would imagine she has her ways of escaping the crowds. She's always graceful and cordial in public. I don't know who you are referring to when you say there was, 'panic in the woman's eyes.' Which woman are you referring to? Joni or her friend? I would imagine that 99% of Joni's fans are not delusional about her. What we see is what we get. Is there any better? What is there to get delusional about? I don't even want to think of JM mimes, paparazzi and obnoxious stalkers. I can understand shy. Look, I was at a Carlos Santana concert in Monterrey, MX, after Supernatural. Carlos and I were at a bar all alone. He had the place cleared out. We were both so shy that we didn't look nor talk to each other. One of the body guards became my friend, behind the bar, only behind the blue tv screen light, the night before. The next day, same bar, the musicians and body guards were egging both us us on to talk. No can do! Carlos was standing, leaning his back against the wall because I could see from the corner of my left eye and I was reading some of St. Teresa of Avila's most beautiful writings and I just kept doing my thing. Carlos has his life and I have mine. What is there to say that nobody has told him before? But Joni's special. I imagine Joni chooses her friends quite differently than most that are out there in the limelight and that's why she's always out of it. So see, Joni's fans have to be different. It's the type of folks she attracts. I cringe in fear thinking of those that do not belong and who follow her around. Especially now, when the world is learning all about her. That's when the witch hunts could begin since her work is so powerful and she has no qualms shaking her fist at lightening as she roars like a forest fire spreading her life-like blazes all across the sky and they'll aim those hoses at her, but Joni will never expire!. I'll defend Joni as I would my own son, mother, siblings and the rest of my family and everyone, including animals and Earth. And one more issue. I don't think comparing that Danish writer's wanna-bees to Joni's fans, such as the ones here at the JMDL, is accurate. Most of my life has been close to Joni through her music, lyrics and paintings and it's nothing but love from her. There is no other Roberta Joan Anderson! No 'copy cats can rip off her melody' like Van Morrison sings. If I haven't been too clear, it's because I've had two neighbors call on me with health and pet problems. I can elaborate more on this subject some other time. Ciao bene!

Especially Judgement of the Moon and Stars! You know, one of my favorite things about Joni's music was when she would compose those orchestrated sections as in Down to You, Judgement, and Let the Wind... I wish more "pop" musicians would follow her lead and compose outside the traditional verse, verse, chorus, verse, chorus format. These days, you just don't encounter that sort of musicality outside of a handful of folks (Kate Bush, Sufjan, Bjork and from what I've heard of her, Joanna Newsome). Hejira would be gorgeous set to music--I can almost picture the Martha Graham-esque choreography!

I feel like I could have written it myself. (Except I don't write that well). I saw Sarah performing River on the TV and I didn't care for it. But I've never been a big fan. Beyond that though, I think she captures so well the experience of gen-xers first hearing Joni. She references the author of a great book I'm in the middle of reading, 'This is Your Brain on Music'. Here's a wee excerpt (below). I always wondered if I heard Joni in the womb or at least very early on in life because I had such an intense and visceral response to first hearing her as a teenager. I don't remember hearing her before that. I do have early memories of listening to Carole King's Tapestry and the soundtrack to Godspell. I can remember standing on the coffee table at age 2.75 or so listening to Carole King and wondering how in the heck those people who were singing got in that little box (record player). Anyway seems we do start to form some of our musical taste in the womb. Kinda cool. Jenny the excerpt ... "To begin with, our musical tastes start to form in the womb. By twenty-four weeks, the human fetus has a completely functioning auditory system and is able to hear music through the amniotic fluid (it sounds something like listening underwater). One-year-olds show clear preferences for music that they heard in the womb. Until roughly the age of eight, the developing child is absorbing whatever music she hears, during a time when the brain is working hard to make billions of new connections. Just as we have found that there are "critical periods" for language acquisition, there appear to be critical periods for the acquisition of music listening."

Sonically, there is more space to the sound. For instance, on Cotton Avenue, when Joni sings "if you got no place special..." it is actually a trio of her voices that, in the orignal mix, seem to be crunched on top of each other. In Dave's version, the voices are panned apart with the lead in the center and the other two sweeping in from the far right and left. Of course, that is just one example. But throughout the entire recording, it's as if the instrumentation is not so compressed--the guitar lines can be heard in separate and distinct areas, and appear to glimmer cleanly and brightly. Also, take an active listen to The Tenth World, and I bet you will hear singing and percussion that was previously buried in the mix. A big thanks to Dave! As I wrote him off list, I've been home recovering from a minor surgery, and it was a treat to be under the comforters with my headphones on, listening to DJRD as if for the first time.

I chuckled at the description of Joni being reclusive. That really is not her personality. I've said it before but it is amazing how "regular" and "normal" she is when you meet her in person. She really is like one of the gang. She is very engaged and interactive with people. However, any "regular" person could be overwhelmed by people coming at her from all directions, psychically "pawing" her, so to speak. When she had her art exhibit here in 1999, she was very accessible, and while there was a bit of a crush of people, she hung out (albeit outside on the smoking stairway) and spoke with just about everyone. The latest exhibit in November was a little different. I was kind of cringing at how people were crushing around her with video and digital cameras in her face. It was kind of awful to behold. She quickly retreated to a more private smoking spot and some people were let back to meet with her. That is not being reclusive - that is justifiably wanting to set some kind of boundary. Very different from 1999 where it all seemed to flow more nicely. I recall reading the reports of the Saskatoon art exhibit and that perhaps it was somewhat more civilized but I wasn't there. I understand fans' enthusiasm to see her - believe me, but geez, some people should hang back a little! She put herself out there to meet everyone so she is not hiding out, but it would drive me to distraction to be subjected to that kind of overload.
