Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah and Happy Ramadan just past (not sure when Kwanza is). Just a heads up for catching up on Joni's back catalogue. 5 albums are on sale at Fish Records for $10. Blue, Court and Spark, Hejira, Ladies of The Canyon and Shadows and Light. These are obviously the regular versions and not the remastered ones.

Rian menjawab: Period? Who's having period? :o) OK. Blue may be Alanis's most favorite album. But of course it's not the only Joni record that Alanis listens. Hey, I was not talking about Alanis's most favorite album. I was talking about the album that Alanis found on her lover's house on the song Your House. I have a feeling that Your House was inspired by Off Night Backstreet. And i have irrational belief that the album that was mentioned on the song must be DJRD. DJRD is about experiments. Surely unfaithful lover who loves experiments (the song character, not you guys) will love that album. Naughty naughty loverboy won't listen to Blue. Rian NP.

C&S was noticeably better in the remastered version. The differences in the others were more subtle.

Everyone is influenced by so many people...so many events...so many dreams and hopes and happy times and oh so sad times....we have to also think about the age and the decade of when a person was influenced...and what was happening in their lives... Joni surely has been and continues to be influenced by so many different stimulants. What I find to be her genius is her interpretation of her life, herself, her world, this planet......another thing that fascinates me is when Joni released various albums/Cd's. I don't think it was by design...rather for a purpose. There are times when I'm listening to Joni and a certain lyric, or song will smack me back into a past time that was good...or not so good. The magic of Joni is how she allows us to react....respond....the stimulus-response thing...and each of us hears her in a unique way. Personally, I just don't feel comfortable with hearing that a new artist has been influenced by Joni.....I can't hear or feel the influence. But, it's probably there. I wish I could remember when or if Joni influenced that first line of a poem I wrote so many, many years ago.."How can they live like that? Free from guilt and regret?" It's a rainy night here...I send to all of you my wishes that you are experiencing peace in your life and that you are being treated gently....as I believe we all need.

Tomorrow afternoon December 11th at 3pm... TCM Turner Classic movies will be showing "Sweet Bird of Youth" Starring a very young(verrry handsome) Paul Newman and the legendary Geraldine Page.. I remember a while back a thread about joni's song and the influence it may or may not have had and some of you said you hadn't seen the play or the movie and this is one of the rare instances where the original broadway actors reprise their roles on screen..So set your tivo :) and enjoy!

I enjoyed reading the text and look forward to listening to the program. Although the film and soundtrack of 'Lady Sings the Blues' was the original spark that made me somewhat interested in Billie Holiday, it was some years before I finally owned any of her recordings. I was given one of Billie's Verve collections from the 50s as a birthday present. I remember thinking it didn't sound like Diana Ross at all! But there was something about Billie's rather gravelly voice and delivery that struck a chord. She was subtle but once you begin to catch all the nuance of her singing, you begin to hear an amazing depth and emotional honesty. Now I own a pretty extensive collection of Billie Holiday recordings and I have been totally enthralled with her singing for a long time. As far as I'm concerned, she deserves every bit of adulation and praise that have been accorded to her. I have always suspected that being exposed to jazz via Joni had something to do with my being open to Billie's sound. I was so tickled when I found out that Joni was an admirer of Billie's. And then when Joni selected several songs for 'Both Sides Now' that Billie had recorded, I was in heaven!

I've become a HUGE fan over the years and consider Lady In Satin to be up there with The White Album as one the greatest recordings, ever. I just bought the Master Takes 4 cd set and just love it. Like finding Jimmy Scott, thanks to David Lynch and Twin Peaks, I discovered her later in life, but am grateful, nonetheless.
