RR ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 18:01:52 -0400 From: passscribe@aol.com Subject: Joni part of Photo Exhibit in Daytona Beach Hi, gang, As many of you know, Ro & I are spending a short vacation with my cousin & his wife in Port Orange, Florida. Unfortunately, the weather has not been great and it was drizzle & rain all day today. FORTUNATELY, my cousin's wife Joan told us of a photo exhibit at the museum at Daytona Beach Community Collage, called "Kiss The Sky", featuring the work of noted rock photographer, Henry Diltz. So, what better day to check it out? I don't know if this exhibit has been traveling around or if any of you have seen it/mentioned it on the JMDL, but I just had to tell you all about it. First of all, Diltz is best known for his candids, portraits and album covers of such sixties & seventies artists as CSN, Neil Young, Mama Cass, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison & the Doors, Jackson Browne... and JONI! The photos on exhibit have been arranged mostly by catagory and then by artist, and the quality is supurb! As many of you know, I've been involved in photography most of my life and I've gotta tell ya... these things are EXQUISITE! Many are blown up to 30 x 40 inches and still retain unbelievable sharpness and resolution. There is a copy of the cover of the first CSN album enlarged to about 4 x 8 FEET and it's beautiful! Another shot of the Doors' Morrison Hotel takes up an entire 10 x 12 foot wall! I don't know if the originals Diltz shot were so good or that some work was done in the studio to make them so great, but the results are awesome. And then there's Joni. One wall contains over a dozen images of Joni and, to see that angelic face from the early years staring out at me from a 30 x 40 inch color portrait... I had tears in my eyes. Simply gorgeous! You know that b&w shot of Joni by the window of her Laurel Canyon house (it was in the latest David Crosby book, I think) it's there in full color with perfect lighting, and... there's another that goes with it right next to it. There are story boards on the walls by the photos telling you about the artists and the photos as well as a directory with info about each of the photo, all of which are numbered. It's a well-produced exhibit. There is also a room showing super 8 home movies Diltz shot at Woodstock, some of the folks setting up the stage but mostly of some of the attendees bathing in the nude in the lake (similar scenes are in the movie). Then, there's a DVD playing continuously on a large screen TV featuring Diltz & partner Gary Burton talking about the many album covers they've done. It includes footage of them going back to the present-day locations of some famous locales that aren't there any more (the Morrison Hotel, the house used on the first CSN album, etc.) and the stories behind the shoots. There a lot of footage of Joni (with CSN, Mama Cass and alone) that's REALLY interesting and I learned a lot I didn't know. You know those b&w stills of Joni & Graham in the back seat of a car, taken on the way to a shoot for CSN? Well, she was writing as the car was moving and Diltz was shooting candids. Long afterward, Diltz wanted to see what Joni was writing so he blew up one of the shots realy large and... you can see she was writing the lyrics to "Willie". Maybe some of you knew that but it was a surprise for me. There's also extensive talk & footage about many of Joni's other photo shoots and the album cover to Blue. Well, if anyone lives in the Daytona Beach area, or you feel like spending a couple of days at the beach here and checking out the exhibit, and you can drive or find a cheap air fare, I highly recommend this event. It runs until June and will have various additional displays on different days. For more info, contact the museum at (386) 506-4475 or www.smponline.org. Sorry this post is so long but... I'm psyched! Kenny B ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

That sounds amazing! Were Mama Cass and Joni good friends before or more just friends among friends? - -Monika Well, from what I've read in the recent book, "Laurel Canyon", it seems that everyone in the LA music scene (and especially those who lived in Laurel Canyon, like Joni & Mama Cass) were pretty close. The age-old story has it that Mama Cass introduced Crosby & Stills to Nash for their first ever sing-together, but some who were there swear it was in Cass's house and others who were there still swear it was in Joni's living room. In the DVD/film I saw at the exhibit, it was clear that Joni was very close to all those other people in the early years, but some (like C, S & N) more than others.

It was on two floors, encompassing 337 numbered photos (or collections of photos) PLUS the videos/films and some books scattered about for people to see. Ro & I spent two and a quarter hours in there and I could have spent ANOTHER two hours, easily. (Well, an hour alone just staring at the photos of Joni... heh-heh-heh.)

Of course, this was before I was born but here's the back story on that song: >Says Gerry: "I wrote that in my cottage in England. I was a big fan of Nick Drake, and on one of his albums there's a song called 'Hazy Jane [II].' I just kind of copped that and came up with the name 'Daisy Jane,' sort of like 'daisy chain.' There's not a thing about my song that's like Nick's song, but that's where these bits come from. If you listen to 'Daisy Jane,' it's basically one song played twice--there's the song, there's a little viola break, and there's the song again with a slight lyric change. I blocked out the eight-bar break for George to put something in, and he wrote a nice little piece in there."> I still like the refrain. Brian Wilson could have written it. >Does she really love me I think she does Like the stars above me I know because When the sky is bright Everything's alright> http://www.accessbackstage.com/america/song/song047.htm I didn't know that the guys in America knew about Nick Drake. I wonder if Crazy Janie or Hazy Davy in Springsteen's "Spirit In the Night" were any relation? (Over to you, Rose.)

The other information is up to individuals to supply at photo upload time, or later. Uploading 100s of pictures in one go can be pretty onerous, before adding individual names and descriptions to each one! Given time, third party comments and descriptions can be filled in retrospectively, so patience is probably the key I'm afraid. Alternatively, get to Jonifest next time to avoid future problems figuring out who's who :) :) :) - --Chris Marshall chrisAThatstand.org (AIM: Chr15Marshall) "If you're ever lost, I'll beat the world to finding you" Stryngs, "Bobblehats and Beer" Band website, with downloads, at http://www.stryngs.com/ ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2007 #111 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
