This month I finally got some extra money at hand, and what did I do --- well bought music, of course.... Along with Sherelle's debut CD, I also purchased Big yellow Taxi, their second album, Cat Power: "The Greatest" (An artist who I first heard about through this very list.) Ani DiFranco: Her Debut, "To Teeth" and "Reprieve" and Nellie Mckay: "Pretty Little Head." (I will get her debut as well, but I will havw= e to wait 'till next salary I guess...) I think Bob must be a main-influence here, so thanks for your ever sharing spirit Bob !!! Besides filling up my newly bough computer with all this great music - I also for the moment find joy and inspiration in spreading music to my friends and family. My brother mentioned for me that he really missed "Hejira" - two years ago = I lived at his house for two months and "Hejira" stayed with him for a longer time. Also he heard the fantastic track "All I want" with Holly Brook from Covers Compilatation #89 - right away he asked "Who's that girl singing? Sh= e sounds great." So now I've downloaded Holly Brook and sent to him along wit= h "Shadows and Lights" and "Hejira." He's always respected my interest for Joni and he is esp. weak for early Joni ("Ladies of the canyon") But I was so happy that he now was ready to move on !!! It is always a joy for me to share Joni's music or my knowledge about her to anyone who asks. She has provided me such rich sources for inspiration the last 7-8 years that my cu= p runneth over. And now that rich inspiration of me is being passed along to my friends... "Start spreading the news..." In Oslo we have this fantastic music store: Bare Jazz or Only Jazz.( http://www.barejazz.com/ )Bodil Niska who runs the shop is also a jazz musician. If you ever come to Oslo and you're a bit into Jazz I would reall= y recomend a visit. They aslo have a caf'=E9, where you can chill out with yo= ur beer or coffee while listening to great Jazz. Well, this is the kind if sho= p that when you asks for a cd they don't have at hands, they really take it seriously. They call you up when they got it, and this is NOT NORMAL procedure in Norway... (I think you Americans are much better hen it comes to paying attention and providing service to your customers. In Norway normal proecure would be PURE INDIFFERNECE, and this gives me heavy boots...) Now most CD's can be bought at Amazon.com cheaper, but I find it being of vital importance trying to support great places like this in anywa= y I can. So the other day after reading Joseph in Chapel Hills mention of the Jazz singer Kurt Elling. I went into the their netshop and ordered his latest CD. I know I will pay the doble, for what I could. And some of you probably find that stupid and not very economic. Well, for me it is a ethical and aesthical choice. We really need placec like this. Oasis that provides us with great music - knowledge and cofee !! So for me it's worth every krone/$$ ...I also asked the other guy in the shop what concerts he would recomend for the upcoming Oslo Jazz festival *(* http://www.oslojazz.no/) He really recomended Phil Woods, are anyone familiar with his music...? After getting internet at home, I also started to burn CD's with a wide range of my favorite artists to some of my friends. And I find myself dropping in some songs from the cover compilations. Esp. #89 - which is one of my favorites. Now, there is a track that I really like and that I have inclueded on a cd to a friend who had a tough year. "Both sides no"...Problem is I cannot say who is singing. It's a kind of Jazzy version, woman singing, I thinks it's a great version. I scanned through Bob's index for #89 but cannot find anything that really resmebles it. Now, is there anybody out there who knows the artist. I prepaered a link for anyone interested. What I especially like with this version is theat chill-out jaz= z feeling, it goes werll with the text - the song... Well, people thanks for providing me with great music - interesting thought and discussion on America and conversation. I'm very happy to be a part of this warm arrangmenet.

Hi Jerry! I went to Ingrid's website (at first your message confused me because I did not know his wife's name was Ingrid!), there is an interview where someone says Jahco.... But let's see what she says! Yaco is my invention I'm sure, it's like the many years I couldn't find CDs by Louis Jordan because I had changed his name to Gordon...

While many people and things have let me down, my music is always there for me. The only one I see that matches that description on #89 is the cover by The Jordan Family. Maybe that is it? I'm glad that you liked the Holly Brook cover so much that you downloaded some more stuff by her. That's ultimately one of the thrusts of the project, particularly when it comes to new artists and releases. And I totally agree about supporting indie shops. I could pick up new releases cheaper at the big box stores but I prefer the selection and service I get at Earshot Records - plus they give bonuses! This week I bought the new release by Spoon and also got as a giveaway a 2-track 45 that I added on. And hey, while we're speaking of giveaways and covers - omigod it's the 15th already, so here's a Joni Covers blast from the past - Volume 16. http://tinyurl.com/37srfa And it contains: Hoyt Axton  He Played Real Good For Free The P.D.U.S.M.

Just played a few rounds of "betapet" - a Swedish version of Scrabble and met a girl there (young, born in 1989!!!) who had a picture of Joni Mitchell on her profile! So of course I asked her, and she said Joni was her favourite artist. I got excited since I nearly never encounter anybody in Sweden who is a fan of Joni's. People my own age usually shrug their shoulders when I bring her up and say, well, I used to like her when I was young, in a rather disinterested way- if they even know about her. Young people often know about her, Woodstock and all, but do not buy her records (the ones I met that is, and I do meet quite a lot, students of the universities where I have been teaching). So this was an experience I haven't had before, it was like suddenly and unexpectedly coming upon a kindred spirit. Of course I told her about the jmdl and she promised to join.

Your comment on Joni Mitchell prompted me to bore you with a "once upon a time" tale from my childhood. When I was a little girl growing up in Saskatchewan Joni Mitchell was in my Brownie pack. She was Joan (Joany) Anderson then, and I remember she was very talented artistically. I don't remember her singing, or composing, but she drew and painted far beyond her years. I remember that she was ill, and spent months in bed one year (? perhaps rheumatic fever?), the whole Brownie pack went and sang Christmas Carols outside her bedroom window. And that's about as close as I ever came to fame and fortune!!! We grew up, went separate ways, and I never saw her again. As a young woman, with wee children, my mom and I had tea with Mrs. Anderson a few times before Mom moved to Victoria, B.C. I've always liked Joni's music, but I'm ashamed to say I do not own any of her recordings.

You're alive! I'm so relieved! I was so worried about you. (I worry sometimes.)

Long silk ones, on the bedposts of refinement (yeah, my JMOCD has worsened - -- still crazy, after all these years on the JMDL!) Great story, and welcome back! Lots of love, Patti P.

For one, we got to hear Jonifest artist Gregg Cagno, and I'm so proud to know that such a talented guy is from my home town! (I didn't try to say hi to him because I am shy). Secondly, Ellis Paul was the headliner, and he did a song called Jukebox on My Grave which referenced Joni as one of the selections available on the aforementioned jukebox. I was hoping for a scoop on this song, but it's already included on jonimitchell.com in the section that lists songs that mention Joni. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deb Messling -^..^- dlmessling@rcn.com http://www.sensibleshoes.vox.com - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2007 #210 ********************************* ------- 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?
