Joni and her genre Umm there does seem to be some kind of hate towards folk, or perhaps snobbery. Perhaps the origins of folk are simplistic, but aren't a great deal of contemporary artists affiliated with folk? I wouldn't call their music simplistic. Anni DiFranco? And is the only reason that Kate Bush, and Tori Amos aren't classed as folk because they play piano? This seems mad, and so far I have no idea what the definition of folk is, i mean the term seems so loose. Joni for me is folk, but then so many other things; rock, country, jazzy. Of course there is something she does which is entirely of its own, but shal we just settle on multi genre... John Lennon All this talk about John Lennon, reminds me of a beautiful cover Regina Spektor has done of one of his songs. Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQm0QlfvWtk NP: Let The Wind Carry Me - -- Steve T. www.vegansteven.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2007 12:16:50 +0100 From: "mike pritchard" Subject: RE: "If" and Joni mention on the radio Repsol, a Spanish/Multinational oil company, is using Kipling's 'If' as the voiceover for its latest advertising campaign, in Catalan for Catalonia and in Castellano for the rest of the Spanish state, using the voices of different actors, Josep Maria Flotats and Josi Sacristan, respectively. Not many people recognise it as Kipling and I have recommended my partner to use it in her English classes with the original lyrics and with Joni's version too. A ver que pasa.

So i assumed the line just > meant that Joni was bringing home her reel-to-reel tape(s) to > review at > home on her machine. I'm with Gary on this. I'm sure she meant just the tape itself, not the machine. If she had sung "getting home with my reel" it would potentially have been misunderstood. That term is more used in film or fishing. Plus she loves alliteration and "reel-to-reel" sort of qualifies. Dave B p.s Just getting home with my Glyph hard drive. How do you like that lyric? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2007 07:13:32 -0800 (PST) From: KEVIN DOHENY Subject: Joni/Genre How lucky are we to be madly in love with an artist that can fill 4 or so different genres on one album..Rian asked about Blue..Little Green fits the folky guitar story telling while this flight tonight (IMHO) is her greatest rock and roll guitar work carey sometimes feels "calypso-y" to me sometimes just pick a joni album and its actually fun(im sucha dork) to pick out the many genres..Speaking of This Flight.. I challenged a friend of mine a few months ago to learn a joni song on acoustic and I picked that wonderful song..He found it extremely difficult but i was really impressed last night when he played it as well as Ive heard it played and of course i had to sing along it was soooo much fun and made me wish i had been able to go to a jonifest even more.. but we had our own little fest as our freinds looked on puzzeled and intrigued best part about it was my friend bought the blue album...spreading joni round the world...one person at a time ;p xoxo Kev - --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Few people said, "cassette tape". It was always "cassette". So, Joni is, "getting home with my reel-to-reel (tape) while the sun is ascending". In my scorebook, she gets one point each for * "comprehending" * having her sun "ascending", * all that rich description * the paradox between skin & still feel so alone, * contrasting her dawn with Coyote's, etc, etc, etc. As a writer, she's no Tom Scholz. Aw, hell, she did alright, I guess, for a girl. Jim L. Chuck said, >This has been bothering me... I ask: why would anyone transport a reel-to-reel tape recorder to and from the studio? Well, the answer is, you wouldn't. So the light dawns; she's referring to a 1/4" reel of tape! But the lyric is misleading, and I'm going to suspend her artistic license for 30 days.> ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2007 #391 ********************************* ------- 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?
