O'Brien's with my partner in crime, Pat.) Joni did show up, but at the very last minute, just as the inductees and guests were about to head from the lobby cocktail party to dinner. We had been milling about taking pictures of various celebrities and wondering who many of them were, and wondering if it might be time to just leave, when there was a bit of a buzz and hum and hotel people asking us, very kindly, to step back behind the velvet rope. We lined up with camera people and photographers from various media with cameras at the ready, when Joni whirled in, accompanied by a very tall man, walked very quickly down the corridor, stopped very briefly to smile and wave and then continued on to the dining hall. I was about to take a picture as she passed by, but her companion was between her and the cameras and then someone else stepped in between them, so I lost my chance. Pat did get a picture on her digital and I'm sure she'll share it. That was it for my Joni moment for this evening. We did see James Taylor, David Clayton Thomas, Sylvia Tyson, Measha Brueggergosman and Herbie Hancock. All of them were interviewed by ET Canada. I think the woman interviewing them was Rosey Edeh. I'm sure parts of these interviews will end up on Global TV. I did get a chance to ask Rosey if she would be interviewing Joni, but she said that, unfortunately, Joni wasn't going to be doing any interviews. More later on the performances tonight.

By Greg Quill January 28, 2007 We are a nation of songwriters. More than any other art form, the song has for generations been the thing Canadians make best. It could even be argued that the simple song provides the common language that binds and illuminates the nation more richly and completely than any other of our cultural endeavours in literature, film, drama, symphonic music, opera and even the visual arts. Songs are everywhere in this country, in every nook and cranny. Pop songs, traditional songs, art songs, rock and country songs  everything from Ian and Sylvia to the Arcade Fire  have, since the great surge of cultural nationalism in the 1960s, been our most popular and passionate form of self-expression. So it's no surprise that the Canadian Songwriters Hall Of Fame annual event has, in four short years, become the focus of national pride. The brainchild of veteran music publisher Frank Davies, the gala induction ceremony in Toronto  this year's honoree, Joni Mitchell, will be feted tonight at the John Bassett Theatre with performances by James Taylor and Chaka Khan and a presentation by famed U.S. composer Herbie Hancock  now looms so large on the musical calendar that it threatens to overshadow the industry's more established horse race, the Junos. The absence of a business agenda and political manoeuverings elevate the Songwriters gala to the status of a generous and benign national celebration of song craft and the Canadian identity. There are no losers, only winners, and lots of great music to enjoy  much of it being repatriated for the first time and lacking a lasting place on commercial radio playlists. Canadians know about hitmakers like Paul Anka and Neil Young. But there were countless Canadian songwriters from decades earlier  the creators of still-instantly-recognizable songs like "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" to "Ain't We Got Fun" to "What A Friend We Have in Jesus"  whose names have faded from memory. As long as there has been popular music, Canadians have been writing it and writing it well. Of course, for many contemporary songwriters, the benchmarks were set during the golden age of the 1960s and '70s, when Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, Young, Ian and Sylvia Tyson, Bruce Cockburn and countless others reached the world music market with songs that were distinctly and unself-consciously Canadian. "A disproportionate number of Canadian songwriters have touched the world," says Toronto composer John Capek, an Australian expat whose songs have been recorded by the likes of Rod Stewart, Diana Ross, Joe Cocker, Cher, Olivia Newton-John, Heart, and Manhattan Transfer. "Canada has produced hit songwriters going back 100 years. But before the folk era and the emergence of Canadian story songs, they had to go to the States to get work and recognition." Our songwriters owe a lot to Yorkville, Toronto's music crucible in the 1960s and '70s, says Vancouver-based roots/pop composer Joel Kroeker. "What made Canadian songwriters different after that  for me, at least  was the quality of their stories. They looked into their own psyches to find universal feelings and ideas that others shared. "It's too easy to go with the first rhyme that pops into your head. There's nothing superficial about Leonard's lyrics, or Joni's. They often went into very dark places in their souls to find a poetic view of life. That's the standard I hold myself to." Acclaimed songwriter Ron Hynes, based in St. John's, says, "It's almost second nature for us to document ourselves in song. We've been doing it for hundreds of years, long before there was a music industry. Songs were written  still are, as far as I'm concerned  to document who and where people were and what happened to them. In Canada, if you scratch a lawyer, a doctor or an Indian chief, they'll tell you, `I wrote a song once.' "Some songs become so entrenched that they simply move like the air from generation to generation. `Four Strong Winds' (written by Ian Tyson in 30 minutes in his manager's New York apartment in the early 1960s) defines the Canadian West. And the beautiful thing is, like so many great Canadian songs, it defies the conventions ... the chorus has the same melody as the verses, there's no bridge, no artificial construction. It's the native approach ..." Respect for the traditions in Canadian song craft is paramount for her, says Juno-winning roots/country songwriter Jenny Whiteley, of the prolific musical clan. "The writers who first amazed me  particularly Willie P. Bennett and Robbie Robertson, and my dad  all tapped into the older idioms, whether rural American music, southern ballads, blues and jazz, that embodied storytelling. They could tell a whole story, create a life or a character in a three-minute song." Whiteley believes Canadian songwriters are motivated by factors beyond fame and wealth. "If you look at the work of Barney Bentall, Tom Cochrane, Jim Cuddy, Stephen Fearing, Gord Downie and so many others, you can see it's not just the hit song they're going for, it's something bigger, something nearer the truth. Their bullshit detectors are all working. That may have something to do with peer respect, or an awareness of the work already out there." Toronto songwriter Ron Sexsmith, on the phone from his tour bus in Colorado, says this high standard of songwriting is "a tradition I'm always trying to uphold. So many of the most influential songwriters in the history of popular music are Canadian. I'm constantly reminded of that. It's a matter of national pride." Raised in St. Catharines, Ont., Sexsmith  whose songs are openly adored by fellow pros ranging from Steve Earle to Coldplay's Chris Martin  started out wanting to be a pop star in a rock band. He remembers being unimpressed by the famous 1960s National Film Board documentary on Cohen when it was screened at school, dismissing the Montreal troubadour as "a poet who couldn't sing." But a few years later, when he was exposed to full-blown Cohen-mania during a stint in Quebec, he listened again and the experience changed him forever. "It made me want to be a songwriter, not just another musician," says Sexsmith. "It's the standards set by those guys  and Joni Mitchell, and k.d. lang  that I try to reach. Everything they write has such a distinctive personal stamp. They're not writing for the marketplace. "Those are the standards every songwriter I know in Canada tries to live up to. You hear that respect in the work of (Toronto composers) Bob Snider, Kyp Harness and Sam Larkin, writers who have their own way of saying what they need to." Nova Scotia rocker Joel Plaskett, who seems poised to crack the international music market in the near future, believes migration and isolation have a lot to do with the unique quality of Canadian songs. "Immigrants brought their music from Scotland and Ireland and Europe," he says. "And those origins are reflected in the melodies and song forms of each region of the country. They've stayed with us, partly because they connect people to their past. But also, I think, because our songs give us both a real sense of place and time and some kind of collective sensibility. "The first time I played in Glasgow (Scotland), I felt as if I'd gone home. Everything was so familiar to me  the people even looked like Nova Scotians, and songs gave us a common language. We understood each other through songs. "You could make an argument that climate and distance make a difference as well. The sense of aloneness, the need to connect can be pretty acute in most small Canadian communities. So details are important in a lot of Canadian songs, as personal points of reference. We also have a lot of time indoors during the winter. We read, we make music, we think a lot about ourselves and our circumstances." Big landscapes, long winters and endless roads are consistent elements in the songs of Alberta roustabout Corb Lund, who will sing the late Wilf Carter into the Songwriters Hall of Fame tonight with a performance of the 1940s country star's signature song, "There's a Love Knot in My Lariat." "Climate and distance are things we deal with in a lot in our songs," Lund says. "Canadians are generally more artistically inclined when writing songs, I guess because we're so far from the centres of the commercial music business in America. We don't necessarily think about writing hit songs ... more about writing songs that communicate. "Communication is what motivates me. I'm a natural introvert, so songs give me a platform and instant feedback when I play them." The focus shifts slightly when it comes to writing pop songs, says Carl Newman of Vancouver's New Pornographers, on the phone from his home in Brooklyn, N.Y. "What makes Canadian bands great is they go about their work quietly. Arcade Fire is one of the best bands in the world, but they're humble people with good heads. You could say that about Blue Rodeo, the Tragically Hip, Barenaked Ladies." In pop, motivation often comes down to keeping up with the Joneses, Newman says, "the way the Stones did with the Beatles, and the Beatles with Brian Wilson. "But for me it's always the song that comes first. I'll hand over a song to (vocalist) Neko (Case) if she can make it better. "That's not a decision most performers would make. And it makes me a Canadian songwriter, I guess ..." - ----------------------------------------- Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tired of spam?

I guess when they say "the spotlight was shining..." they mean it in the figurative sense! - -------------------------------------------------- Joni Mitchell honoured by music industry greats at Toronto reception Sun Jan 28, 12:34 AM By Amanda-Marie Quintino TORONTO (CP) - The spotlight was shining on Canada's Joni Mitchell Saturday evening. Singers, songwriters, producers and composers from every musical genre shared cocktails and memories at a downtown Toronto hotel while paying tribute to the Canuck songstress and her unique career. Measha Brueggergosman, a classical soprano singer who grew up listening to Mitchell's music, says she is a "multifaceted artist" who deserves to be honoured for her unique talents. "She taught me to value poetry in music," Brueggergosman said. "She taught me the importance of text, that words above all else are important. She is such an amazing poet in addition to writing unbelievable songs." Colin MacDonald, lead singer and guitarist for Canadian rock band The Trews, describes Mitchell as "brilliant, very ahead of her time and progessive" and says her creativity puts her in a class of her very own. "(She's) completely original, completely heartfelt and that's almost an impossible bridge to get over as a songwriter," MacDonald said. "It's one thing to push the form ahead, it's another thing to keep it so that people could still really relate to it - and she seems to be able to do that perfectly. Stephan Moccio, who writes songs for Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman and Josh Groban, says Canada is lucky to have an artist so willing to embrace any and all types of music. "She's nurturing, brave, and very giving to have given back to us her sort of song and her honest body of work." On Sunday, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame will recognize Mitchell as one of Canada's most successful songwriters, after swooning audiences with forays into folk, pop, rock and jazz for over 40 years. Singer/songwriter James Taylor, jazz innovator Herbie Hancock, country singer Corb Lund and funk legend Chaka Khan are among those set to honour the reclusive artist and five of her songs.

Thank you Jill! Anyone who is interested in receiving these next can contact me offline with your address, and I will send them to the first person I hear from. See below for details of the fifteen-disc set, promise to re-offer, etc. And a huge thanks to my bro Bob Muller for this wonderful covers project! take good care, Brian >>In order to enable latecomers to the list or new traders have a chance of listening to Bob Muller's incredible compilation of covers of Joni's songs here is the latest round of the Perpetual Joni Covers Train. Volumes 71 - 83 (taking you right up to this month's release). These are uncompressed WAV files for those who care about such things -- they are not the MP3 versions. For those not familiar with trading trains, here is how they work: When the disks come to you, you make copies of as much of the contents as you want, and then you post back to this list offering to pass the disks along to the next person. You do not keep the originals -- you keep the copies you made for yourself. On most trains, the convention is that you make the copies and send the masters along within two days. For these trains, you must agree to turn them around within two weeks. Sometimes the offer goes unclaimed. Bob and I expect that to happen from time to time. So, by participating, you agree to just hang on to the disks and then make another offer a month or so later (or to respond if somebody posts a grovel looking for them). In theory, if everybody takes good care of the disks, wrapping them well, not letting them get scratched, etc. and passes them along, these covers will run on the tracks for years. Nobody is going to monitor the progress of these trains so if you participate and then lose the disks or fail to reoffer them, you will have kept others from enjoying them. When you post an offer, please include these "rules". One final note, I know a few folks like to compress these into MP3s. If you want to, go ahead but please do not send MP3s to the next person - MP3s permanently delete some of the "data" and sound quality degrades so please pass the masters along. So, anybody who would like to receive volumes 71-83, please send me: 1. Your mailing address and 2. Your promise to reoffer, etc. P.S. If you are sitting on any of the earlier rounds, please offer them up again as its been a while and new folks might be interested. Thanks. - ----------------------------------------------------------- Politicians and diapers both need to be changed often.

It was written by Quicksilver Messenger Service's Dino Valenti under the pseudonym Chet Powers. The Festival at Big Sur movie still gets shown infrequently on cable, it's worth checking out. It doesn't seem to be available on DVD. Joni does "Woodstock" and has a few other brief camera appearances in addition to the above song with CSNY.

And what a great group of attendees. It's nice that Joni has all these wonderful events happening in Canada. Thanks also to Michael for the link to the interviews with Joni's parents. I had a time trying to hook up - had to download another version of Real Player and I'm only getting the audio and no video. But I was amazed how sharp her folks sound and got this feeling that she sounds like a cross (in her nature) beween both parents. I can hear Joni's voice in both her dad's and mom's way of speaking.

Do I know about the Interior Castle? I'm their biggest fan! I know the Cross and the Castle very well. I live there. After Joni Mitchell's words which paint my world with truth and love, St. Teresa's and St. John of The Cross' words of Absolute Love are my favorite. I know them and love them like I know and love Joni and everyone! ...and it's all about love and nothing else! Even suffering is Love when suffered in Love. I even went to Avila just to hang out at the places Teresa and Juan hung out, when I had that Joni/Carey experience in Algerciras in Southern Spain and none of it was planned...it just happened that way. Only mine was Jean/Curel! Silent Music (for tonight) In this silence and tranquillity of the night, and in this knowledge of the divine light, the soul discerns a marvellous arrangement and disposition of God's providence in the diversities of his creatures and operations. Each and all of them have a certain likeness to God, wherewith each, in its particular voice, tells of the God within it. This forms a concert of sublimest melody, far beyond all the harmonies of the world. This is silent music because it is knowledge, tranquil and calm, without audible voice; and thus the sweetness of music and the repose of silence are enjoyed in it. The soul says the Beloved is silent music because in him this harmony of spiritual music is understood and experienced. As every one of the saints received the gifts of God in a different way, so every one of them sings his praises in a different way, and yet all harmonize in one concert of love. ~John of The Cross~ If St Teresa and St. John were alive, I'd be a participant of Teresa' s TADL and Juan's JCDL, which would probably be something close to Joni's JMDL, complete with shadows and light. Joni would probably be a participant, too. They were so cool and everybody said they were 'crazy' and so they put them into sterilized rooms trying to keep them hidden and lazy and silent while the prosecutors probe by opening and closing you and they talk like they know you but they don't know you. And they think your attitudes all wrong because all you want to know is Love! ~Norma Jean~ PSII. Oh by the way, the main reason I was in Algeciras, Spain, when I had a Carey, Get Out Your Cane experience, was because of Paco de Lucia and his brother, Ramon!

The movie didn't have the whole song either. As I recall, the movie didn't have any whole songs at all because it was a student-made documentary. The film-maker didn't have the funds to pay for rights to use whole songs. It's a shame because there appeared to be some good rockin' that day. Now playing in my head: Francis Ford Coppolla saying, "Ultimately, it's the moments I catch that matter, not the moments I miss." Jim L. Monika said, >So what song is this? I didn't recognize it and is there a full version available anyway?

Yes, it was. Two solid hours of heaven. A wonderful audio companion to WOHAM. I hope the CBC makes it available in their archives so that those who couldn't listen to the broadcast can download and listen to it. Eerily, I felt the presence of Wally Breese (who I never had the pleasure to meet in person), Kenny Grant and Mary Grace while glued to my pc listening to the streaming broadcast. I know their kind and gentle souls were witness to this recounting of the plucking of our collective heartstrings. Murray McLaughlin's comments about his first meeting with Joni in 67 or 68 made me laugh out loud, as did Joni's own rejoinder to someone who wanted her to play acoustic rather than electric ("Sit on a tack!") All in all, an absolutely wonderful show. I hope everyone gets to hear it. And don't forget the radio/web broadcast of tonight's awards show on Monday night from 8 to 10 PM EST on CBC Radio Two. take care everyone, Brian - ----------------------------------------------------------- Politicians and diapers both need to be changed often.

One reporter asked him how he got started working with Joni Mitchell. Hancock said that he was hanging around with Jaco Pastorius and others at the time, when he was asked to do a project with Joni Mitchell. He was aware of her at the time, because she was very popular, but didn't really know her work and wondered how she was going to fit. But, when they met, they hit it off right away. Hancock said, "I'm not Canadian. I'm not rock and I'm not a folk musician. At the time, Joni wasn't known as a jazz musician." Then he paused and said, "I *know* she's a jazz musician." Another reporter asked how he felt when he was asked to be at the gala, and he replied, "I wouldn't miss the chance to be here." A report asked if he was familiar with other Canadian artists, and Hancock said, "I don't look to see what country they're from." Before he met Joni, he said, he didn't listen to words before, but only to the music. After listening to Joni's lyrics, now he notices the connection between the music and the words. He said, "At first, I try to have a basic understanding of what the words are about in general, if not every particular phrase, and I hope it marinates in my soul." Another reporter asked Hancock what he felt about Joni's contribution to the musical landscape. He said, "She sets a really high bar. She's a painter, an incredible poet. She is involved. She is the best of what a human being has to offer and a hero of mine. I hang on every word she says. I listen and I do not judge."

I spent the whole 2 hours of the CBC show trying to get my gol darn !%#$!!#*#%#^^*!! computer to let me listen to the streaming audio. I updated software. I begged and pleaded with the gods of computer goombah and voodoo. Yet, every time I tried to listen, my computer shut down. I was, to say the least, farklemt, and I expect that the same thing will happen tomorrow if I try to hear the Hall o' Fame thing. Anyone have any suggestions? I live in Washington State in the ol' US, so perhaps CBC is exacting it's revenge on us for our political foibles of late? Anyhoo, I remember that Doug, for one, is taping it. I would love to have a copy of both shows, and would be more than happy to supply the medium to copy it on to, if this is legal, or at least only slightly shady. Please let me know if anyone out there would be willing to do this.

When I wrote that I went to Avila, I took it for granted that you knew that I was referring to Avila, Spain. Maybe you didn't and thought I was saying I go into St. Teresa of Avila's body. Thus, those questions concerning channeling and whatever. I then figured that was probably the reason you started talking about getting into Peter Framton's body and I just scratch my head and think, "What is she talking about? Lord, help me understand." So, there. May we understand one another as He understands us. Love, Normie PS. I'm really gonna get into Don Juan's Reckless Daughter tonight and then maybe take her over to Chavez Ravine. > suffering is Love when suffered in Love.
