"Randy's Question: Is "Get Together" a different, solo version? - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Remote" To: "Jill Haas" ; Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 12:12 PM Subject: Re: Can anyone help me identify recordings I found in my Joni Stuff? Hey RR, thanks for the info. I guess all of this stuff has already been transferred to CD, so I'll have to beg someone bring copies to JoniFest. As for your question, the version of "Get Together" is indeed a solo, (although Joni gets the crowd to sing with her on the chorus so enthusiastially that I think it stops qualifying as a solo), but no, it's not the Big Sur version with everyone on stage joining in. Is your name really Randy? Remote? If I believed it for a second I would have started this message with "Hi Randy." But Guitarzan is another story. You're runing a close second to my first band's non-PC name, "The Guitardos." Hell. I was in seventh grade and didn't know any better. It was the seventies. I was a child (but not terrilbly innocent.) I smoked cigarettes. I trespassed into the abandoned horse barns at the Orange County Fairgrounds and created a clubhouse (including a fire hazard disguised as a cinderblock fireplace and lots of candles). I also provided cheap guitars for my three best friends and taught them G maj, A maj and minor and D maj, the only chords I knew. As an optimist, however, I believed that one could play just about any song with these chords. So, using my best sales pitch, I talked these poor unfortunates into joining my about to be famous band, "The Guitardos." I'm sure they're all damaged for life. Forgive, probably more than you wanted to know...

Isn't avoiding that the whole point of living in Bel Air? Talk about coming in from the cold. This project must mean something VERY special. I wish I could take my own ballet star Amelia to see this. Maybe there will be a tour beyond Edmondton. Toronto is worth the drive for me. Got your antenna up, Geffen? Think Vegas, or Broadway.

Castaneda wrote these books about his own personal experiences. I believe he was an Anthropologist from a southern California university and went on an expedition to study these people and their way of life, their beliefs and religious practices. In other words, these things really happened from his perspective. These are the chronicles of what he experienced with them. I didn't know Joni was into these books.

Your kind gesture will save me from having to learn one more software program for which there is no more room in my brain. I think I maxed out with Adobe Illustrator. Thanks also for the links. Since I've joined this list, I've been digging out all kinds of old Joni stuff, all of which I'm sure has been mentioned in the archives, mais, pardonez moi, I am a very lazy girl and will not find the strenght to search through them. Did anyone get to the StarArt exhibit in Laguna Beach, CA? I have only heard about the LA one. I bought the Mingus "Chair in the Sky" poster (just found it, and it appears none the worse for age...). I also finally figured out (by lookind at more memorabilia) that I saw Joni at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater in '83, third row center, and almost had a knock-down drag-out girl-fight with the two amateur critics sitting behind me. I was getting the impression that they wanted her to "Paint a Starry Night again, man," rather than playing her new stuff. I think I yelled out something like "Play what you want," and then turned to the women behind me and gave them the best version of "The Snake Eye" I could muster. I barely escaped from getting socked in the jaw. As always, more than anyone really wants to know...

Neither - here's the info: http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/details.cfm?id=1297 Nope. It was bootlegged from the broadcast of this appearance: http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/details.cfm?id=1259 Both of these have already been lovingly transferred to CD and extensively traded. I can bring copies to Jonifest for you if you like! (One of the benefits of showing up at Jonifest...)

(SJC) From the Sarah Slean Website - http://www.sarahslean.com/ Slean says she will appear April 15th with the Vancouver City CBC Orchestra for the Joni Mitchell induction to the Hall of Fame ?? Anyone ? In case you don't know the Toronto chanteuse, Sarah Slean, her 2006 album, Orphan Music, is sensational. For fans of Kate Bush and Tori Amos.

All I ask is that you NOT give me any blanks - not necessary. Oh, and don't give me that 'snake-eye' either. This group has been so amazingly generous with me it's truly a joy to pay it forward. Regarding the Starart show, I'm assuming that coincided with the Starart Book that came out in 1979? As synchronicity would have it, I just got a copy of that book today in the mail, I'm donating it to the Raffle.

Uh...yeah..sure...that's the ticket.... > But Guitarzan is another story. You're runing a close second to my first > band's non-PC name, "The Guitardos." I'm more than a little guitarded myself, though the name is from the 60's Ray Stevens song. Great story, though-you little hell raiser! And some people still maintain that the best songs are the 3 chord ones. Louie, Louie was the first pop song I learned, I think, and House of the Rising Sun, but already more than 3 chords there.

I just finished the book and I'm still a little bit on the "I just don't get it" side - maybe someday it will sink in. But, yeah, Joni was into these books. I saw her on some video (I think it was from Canada's Much Music program, but I could be mistaken) where the audience could interact and ask questions. One audience member asked her about books, and Joni recommended "The Castaneda books - all of them." Mia <
