I was recently listening to Patti Smith's "Trampin'" and her song, "Cartwheels" reminded me of early 90's era JM! Wow, imagine a cover of it...:) Have there ever been PS covers or vice versa I wonder?

Coming in from the cold to say I guess I'm extraordinarily lucky to have had the pleasure of seeing Joni perform 8 times. The first 3 were in "prehistoric" times: 8/21/74 Temple Ambler Music Festival on the Miles of Aisles tour. Somewhat disappointed at the time because Joni live with the LA Express wasn't the same as early Joni on lp. Yes, youth is wasted on the young, isn't it? 2/16/76 Nosebleed seats in the Spectrum. The acoustics were awful. The recording of the concert is much better than my recollections of it from the time. 8/28/79 Mann Music Center. A great show in a wonderful open-air venue. I still have the very well-worn t-shirt from this show. And the last 5 during JMDL times with lots of other list members: 8/15/98 A Day in the Garden. Joni and I both finally made it to Woodstock, 29 years late, but much better late than never. 7/1/99 Joni's Jazz in Central Park. The rain stopped just as the show began! Lots of wonderful performances by artists who love Joni's music as much as we jmdlers do. 5/22/00 BSN Tour at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. With a pre-show get together at David Lahm's "Judy's Chelsea" 6/2/00 Last show on the BSN Tour. Preceded by a banquet at the Chinese Cafe. My seat in the second row center of the pit was the closest I've ever been to Joni. 10/19/01 And finally, upper row seats at the Homage in Toronto. It was truly special to have Joni sit down at the piano and play for us. It made us cry. I hope she'll play in support of these newest (Shine and the as-yet unknown second album for Hear) recordings, but I'm not holding my breath. I'd turn Blue. I hope to see those of you who can make it when the visual exhibit opens in NYC sometime this fall.

To me it appears to be the earth >seen from space, you know, the blue planet...> Right, good point. Plus, she's not singing "once in while, in a big blue moon." Okay, so, in the cover, we're looking at "Earth Shine". We're looking at all of humanity, at once, from a distance. That's very interesting. We're not dreaming "up" at the moon, looking for escape. The "Earth Shine" perspective fits the "Shine" lyric much better. Joni's looking at it all, seeing it all at once, asking it all to Shine. http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/albums/images/HMCD/188x188/HMCD-30457.jpg Buddists talk about "returning to the light" when we pass on, right? The "Shine" lyric links up to my "Theory of Generational Mojo". Someone mentioned that the Lyrics page has text for the instrumental track. It's not a lyric, though. It's not poetry. I think it's a preface to the album: http://www.jonimitchell.com/musician/song.cfm?id=OneWeekLastSummer Apparently, the Muse walked right out of the woods & visited her cabin one night. He brought a song and took a meal. (The blessings of parasites?) >>>I heard it in the wind last night, it; sounded like a song.>>> It's amazing already and it hasn't been released. Jim L. P.S.

Does anyone on the list have a picture or a few pictures of the Joni set from the Gene Autry Museum in 1995? I would like to do a simple CD cover for a friend that I am giving the show to as a gift. I'd be happy to share the cover with the group once it's done. Please contact me or simply e-mail me the files or a link to the pics if you can help. Thanks!
