I always assumed, almost from the first listening, that 'the ghost of my old ideals' on channel 5 was a reference to the film of "Woodstock'. That image is always in my mind at least b. Deborah Kerr ( pronounced 'Car' ..hence the bad pun) was born in these here parts, namely Helensburgh, Scotland. Very pretty but dead. Helensburgh that is.

This was in the Toronto Globe and Mail this morning: TELEVISION: MONDAY CRITIC'S CHOICE The Fiddle and the Drum Bravo!, 8 p.m. "I have never worked so hard in my life," Joni Mitchell told The New York Times while discussing the rehearsals for The Fiddle and the Drum. The renowned Canadian chanteuse was given wide creative control on this TV project and used it to full advantage. Mitchell set this ballet to her songs, both old and new, with about two dozen dancers performing in front of projections of her artwork. The final product bears out Mitchell's intense dedication, if not her slavish devotion to the creative process. In addition to having written all the songs and painted all the backdrops, Mitchell worked with the Alberta Ballet's artistic director, Jean Grand-Mantre, on the choreography. Filmed earlier this year at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary, the 60-minute program features the dancers moving to the smooth, sensuous melodies of Mitchell's career, this ballet sharing its title with one of her anti-war songs. In fact, that's the very theme of this ballet - you know, a nice change from all the pro-war ballets people keep writing. Mitchell's songs aren't the only audible accompaniment to the onstage activity, as overlaid sounds of modern war serve almost as counterpoint to Mitchell's mesmerizing music. Ultimately, even if the dancing doesn't appeal to you, this is still a chance to hear one hour of Joni Mitchell, and that's never a bad thing. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2007 23:00:38 +1000 From: Mark-Leon Thorne Subject: Re: (sjc) Deborah Kerr A short tribute to Deborah Kerr was on the 6 o'clock news the other night. She was one of the greats. Her Australian connection was her fabulous performance with Robert Mitchum in the Australian classic, The Sundownders. Another legend was showcased tonight. An all star tribute to Burt Bacharach was broadcast from Sydney's lush State Theatre. The cream of Australian talent performed Bacharach classics. From Walk On By to What The World Needs Now. Different styles but no one really deviated too much from his arrangements. Except Diesel who Burt complimented and called, "The greatest bass player he'd ever heard". The stand out for me was the gorgeous vocals of Katie Noonan. Kate Ceberano, Dean Geyer, Rickie-Lee Coulter and Leo Sayer also performed with the Sydney Symfonia. It culminated with Burt himself performing his personal favourite, Alfie. If Joni ever comes back to Australia, I hope they give her the same treatment. Her songs are as much classics as Bacharach. Thank you, CC for pointing out Joni's connection with Kerr and the movies. There is food for thought about The Arrangement.

Just a question, maybe some of you may know or have the information. My wife is traveling to New York City on the first days of November, and I'm wondering if there is any Joni related activity scheduled for those day in the big apple (painting exhibitions, some TV interview, anything that can be recorded / photographed, well, you'll know). It's even on the days of Miss Mitchell birthday! Since I'm staying home with the kids, she (my beloved wife) has the moral obligation of coming back home with Shine, River and the two other CDs related to Joni that Starbucks had released, at least, besides of some books that are impossible to find here in Buenos Aires. And it would be extraordinarily nice to have some other Joni related souvenir, like a snapshot of one of her paintings, or anything. Tell me please of any event that you may know beetwen Nov 1st and 9th, and help her become an even better wife, if it's possible!

Joni figured, what the hey, might as well use my influence to remind my devotee's that America is heading the exact wrong way environmentally and in foreign policy. Occasionally she hits a good polished phrase, but mainly the poems are essays. Which is fine with me. I'm trying to stop environmental rape in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Asheville, by apostate hippie city counselors. But what do I, and Joni, expect. The world is still in the dark ages, with just a few blips or reason in ancient Greece, the Renaissance, the enlightenment and the 1960's and 70's. The good part is that the 60's rev was the widest spread in history, and questioned the most sacred cows. The bad news is most baby boomers are going for security now instead of using hard learned lessons to get power and truly express the ideals of the sixties. Tired of spam? Yahoo!

And I admit 'turning moutains into molehills' IS memorable. Like Bobsat (and speaking as an ex-, and never-again-to-be-Catholic), I'm uncomfortable with the dig at the Church in 'Shine' - it just doesnt resonate, and to me seems either too obscure to make sense, or ill-informed. If it's a reference to the magdalene Laundries it's years too late. Why not attack the Church for its lack of love in dealing with victims of abuse and its protection of abusing clergy - now THERE's a truly outrageous stance by the Church hierarchy, and a real issue for our times. DJRD: Like Deb I'd always imagined that 'biographically' in DJRD Joni had seen footage of Woodstock or the like, or maybe herself in a younger more naive, idealistic performance. That line, with 'and it howled so spooky for its eagle soul', is just superb - definitely one of my top three JM songs.

It's all well and good to evoke further commentary but clearly the comments in question were snide, and directed towards the person who posted, rather than the topic being discussed, Joni's album "Shine." We should be able to discuss Joni's work without making assumptions about other listers, that are way off base, or making petty insults just because they hold a different opinion. Personally, I really don't care what people write...they can say whatever they wish, this is an open forum. I promise you it has no stake in my state of happiness. I don't have a clue where you get the idea I was complaining. If you can't see the difference between these posts then maybe you should read them again. Just like Cassy, Em, and Azeem, I was making the point that it doesn't matter if other people have different opinions. They should be able to share them without being insulted. Please leave me out of your discussion.

It was a great song when I first heard it when it was released originally. But reality being what it is, we have heard BYT in so many versions that it's just totally washed out, imo. It's hard even to remember what it felt like when it was fresh and new. I do admit though that BYT on Shine is the best version I have heard after the original.

I have taught myself to play several of her early piano tunes ("For free", "Rainy Night House", and "The last time I saw Richard"), each of which has a distinctive and somewhat long intro, which is never repeated in the verse or chorus of the song. The song "hejira" also comes to mind. And the intro to the song "Shine" might be the thing that knocks my socks off every time I hear it. ~Dan On 10/19/07, Michel BYRNE wrote: > > Sorry, what I meant to contribute to was the intros thread!

I think the song would still have had an impact today as it really does seem like it is written by a person who had witnessed years and years and years of life. It's kind of ironic Joni wrote it so young but at the same time, she did go through a lot. I suppose it would have almost been a "swan song" for Joni at that point. Shortly after that (2002?), didn't she announce her retirement? That song would have served as a "goodbye" of sorts...until....2007. Sadly though, I don't think it would have made a WORLDWIDE, EXPLOSIVE impact as Joni's commercial peak has long passed. I can't remember what was popular in 2000 but whatever it was would probably have still overshadowed this song unfortunately. I think the song would have been held up high (by fans, critics, etc) but it wouldn't be the same. -Monika Em wrote: Last night I thought of this while sitting out on my deck, in the semi-dark, while my dog played (and hopefully tired herself out) - and I was listening to Joni on my iPod.

Tin Angel comes to mind ..It's such a foreboding opening..You know you are in for something..Later on Chinese Cafe has an awesome opening..It's really hard to narrow it down because looking closely at it..Our girl has some pretty amazing Intros to most of her songs..If I had to pick an absolute favorite it would have to be Court and Spark It's so simple yet complex..It always takes me to such a wonderful place..I know that I am in for a glorious musical ride that is the court and spark album..I often wonder if that was the first song she wrote for that album..It is the perfect opening...hope all of you are well and to our friends experiencing crazy weather and storms be safe and I love you :) xoxoKev Tired of spam?

But honestly I enjoyed it so much, especially singing for these people in their 70's, 80's, 90's who really have seen things from so many sides. It's a fun song to sing...maybe it seems fresh to me since I've never really played around with it much.
