She won't be wrong. I'm wondering if you're Canadian?? Because, I've lived on the Canadian Prairies all of my life (40+ years), and I definitely think Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot should be honoured with a stamp. Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot are Canadian icons. Canadians grew up with Anne Murray; she's been a fixture on television here since the 1960s. Gordon Lightfoot is equally admired. Although he has had a lower profile than Anne Murray, he is admired for his artistry and especially for his songs about Canadian historical events (Canadian Railroad Trilogy; Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald). I also think they hold a special place in the hearts of Canadians because, unlike 90 per cent of entertainers who make it big outside of Canada, they have continued to live in Canada. Joni gets a free pass in this regard because Canadians are not stupid, and we know the impact she has had on the world stage. She also lives part time of the year in British Columbia. Who shouldn't be on the list?? Paul Anka, of course. Not only because he is a hack, but because he has had a contemptuous relationship with Canada in general, and his hometown Ottawa in particular, since the beginning of his career. He should be something like 573rd on the list, somewhere after people like Celine Dion and Nickleback and all the other schlock-meisters. My list of Canadian musicians deserving of the honour -- 1. Joni 2. Neil Young 3. Gordon Lightfoot 4. Anne Murray 5. Leonard Cohen 6. The Band 7. Stompin' Tom Connors (No, I'm not kidding) 8. Oscar Peterson 9. Glenn Gould 10. Stan Rogers Honourable Mentions -- Wilf Carter; Hank Snow; Don Messer; Guy Lombardo; Ian & Sylvia; kd lang; Bruce Cockburn; The Rankin Family; Blue Rodeo. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:57:02 +0100 From: "Jamie's Box of Paints" Subject: Re: Original photos from Joni's visit to Mandolin Brothers in 1976 You can tell why Joni held so many men mesmerised. She is absolutely stunning in these photos, even though it must've been a bad hair day. heh Jamie Zooby On 26/06/07, PassScribe@aol.com wrote: > Hi, gang, > As most of you know, I recently made a trip to Staten Island to visit > the site of the original Mandolin Brothers' store ("I went to Staten Island, > Sharon, to buy myself a mandolin") and the current location of that business.

Notaro" Subject: Joni mention in a column From a column this morning in the St. Petersburg Times: When my teenage son hears me listening to Neil Young or Van Morrison, he is embarrassed for me, stuck in the past as I am. He urges me to listen to his music. I always tell him what I like about his music ("The lyrics are original and clever"), but I know there will never be another Joni Mitchell. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:11:43 EDT From: Dflahm@aol.com Subject: Re: JONI - Canadian Postal Stamp No I am not Canadian; my comment reflected my respect for JM's almost unique creativity and the depths to which I have been shaken and inspired by her recordings. There's no denying the others are mega-big stars; I just don't consider THAT the ultimate achievement. There is, thank goodness, something more. And JM's output has helped me to understand that.

O' my Monika, that would surely be one of my dreams come true, if only I wasn't so darn shy! Who has met Joni? Those of you who have, how did y'aqll react or feel? I'd be myself completely, once I'd fight off my tears and fears and just be the person Our Father meant for me to be. The other person I'd love to meet would be Ry Cooder. I'd have 1000's of questions ask him concerning him concerning the development of his unique style nobody else has. He has two voices. His physical voice and his innermost voice through his guitar. I hear it all and it is unbelievably beautiful to see and feel..just like Joni's. Jeannie After attending this year's Jonifest I was made aware that quite a few people have actually met Joni. So, have YOU met Joni Mitchell? If so, where and when was this? Just curious. - -Monika - --------------------------------- Looking for a deal? Find great prices on flights and hotels with Yahoo!

I was just emailing with a colleague across campus on offical business and SOMEHOW I started talking about Joni (imaginez-vous!). Well, you'll like what he wrote back: "Joni nut, huh? I know all about that. One of my best friends in California was obsessed with her and her music is a kind of mental soundtrack to those years of my life in the early 80's. I love her too." Spark! Zap! Electricity! Since he used the word "obsessed", I went on to tell him about JMOCD, etc. (in Jonispeak "etc." = AYKTMBM, for Catherine). Hey, all you California aging children....did any of you have a best friend in the early 80's who now works in CT? Nah, that's a dumb question. There must be thousands of Joni Mitchell fans from California. Or a half a million.....strong..... Love, Patti P. P.S. Don't forget prayers for peace at 9 pm. EST and then the *really big show* w/ Paul and Ringo and Yoko and Olivia! _________________________________________________________________ Like puzzles? Play free games & earn great prizes.

Avril, Alanis, Nelly Furtado, and Sarah McLachlan. Them would be some cute stamps. (Seriously, they should replace Anka with Ian and Silvia and give Neil his own series-the folkie Neil, the computer Neil, the country Neil, the grunge Neil).
