And all the boys and girls... Woke up, it was a Chelsea Morning and the first thing that I saw was message about Joni. Yay! And it wasn't even from the list. Way back on November 3rd, all dizzy-dancing-way-you-feel about Joni's upcoming appearance on the CBS Sunday Morning Show the next day, I emailed a whole bunch of people. (You have to share the Joni joy, you know!) And now, six weeks later, I get a late reply from someone. (A seed that was planted.) The mother of a hockey player my son used to coach. Ha! I can't wait to share this w/ Michael from Mountains because he really respects this woman, and he will see that I'm not the only Joni fan in the world! Okay, here is my message (I can't believe I sent it to so many "non-Joni" people!), and the reply: **** Subject: Joni on TV Sunday morning at 9 a.m. EST Dear Friends Who Love Joni or Who Kindly Tolerate My Loving Joni and Should Learn More About Her: She is going to be on the CBS Sunday Morning Show which starts at 9 a.m. EST. Be there or be square! ("You're so square. Baby, I don't care.") http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/01/sunday/main3441230.shtml Peace, Patti "Shine on good humor, Shine on goodwill." - -- JM Re: Joni on TV Sunday morning at 9 a.m. EST~ Hey Patti! So, I actually did remember, halfway through the segment, to check this out! You are right, she is an amazing woman, and an icon for our time. I am so thankful to have come of age in the 70's! I am inspired to get some Joni CD's and give her a re-listen. I think Max will be interested as well - he's very much into classic rock, so who knows - this might intrigue him as well. I hope you are healthy and happy this holiday season! Give Mike a big "HI!!" from all of us. **** A old fan is reborn, and a new one just begun. And so this is Christmas.... Applause, applause! I just remembered something I think I forgot to share with y'all. When Michael graduated from college, I threw him a surprise party at a Barangrill. I invited his whole hockey team (Bantams, ages 12-13) and the parents because, in my heart and mind, they saved him from the war. I believe they saved his life, and my sanity. (He almost joined the military when he was a freshman because he didn't know what to major in, and then, THANK GOD!!!!!, he discovered, through coaching, that he has a gift for working with kids. Who says those hockey games are damned?). As party favors, I made up a little tribute page to Michael w/ 4 pictures and inspirational quotes and the heading/title was: "Be Like Mike!" and it included these: 1. a picture of him at age 3 in his big brother's hockey uniform ("Dream big!") 2. a picture of him w/ a huge smile and a wave getting on the school bus w/ his Batman lunch box for his first day of kindergarten ("Go to school!") 3. a picture of him playing hockey in high school ("Work hard!") 3. his senior class picture ("Smile!") Congratulations, Michael! May 7, 2006 Then, on a separate, second page, on grey parchment paper, I printed the lyrics to Circle Game. I mean, you just HAD to, right? Darn right. This occasion begs for that song. I rolled these two pages up like a diploma and tied them with a ribbon. As people were opening them, I heard one kid say: "Circle Game? Huh? What is that?" The mother who just wrote to me said: "Oh my God! Joni Mitchell! I remember her. Oh, bring this home and read it. It is so beautiful. You will cry." Then my older son says: "MOM!!!!! You didn't do a JONI MITCHELL thing for Michael's *graduation*, did you?" Michael looked up suddenly and they both just stared and stared at me in utter disbelief. They shake their heads as if to say: "She'll never change!" I just laughed and toasted to Michael, right out loud (and inwardly, silently, to Joni). Okay, c'est tout pour le moment. Bon weekend! Love & Peace, Patti P. P.S. Quel synchronicite! Michael just called to invite me to his damn hockey game this morning. (He's coaching 5-6 year olds now, those little cuties.) I said: "I was JUST writing about you!" And he said: "Oh, no. Not to the Joni people, are you?" Yep!

You were missed but Victor gave us a day-to-day report on your trip so we could all envy you...Thanks for the links, I will try them later since I am a little short on time right now. All the must-dos of Christmas, you know. I am still writing Christmas cards to send by snailmail.

I have not been posting for a month now I think, and have hardly found the time to check what's going on with all of you. I returned from a fabulous trip to Los Angeles where I spent several days with Kakki and Victor and had lunch with Lesli on Zuma Beach and saw Kate's Joni tribute show in Santa Barbara - everything had been so great.. and then jet lag and influenza and tonnes of work just knocked me out completely. I hope you are all well and thriving out there! I thought it was time to post again when my friend sent me this link to a Joni-related article: http://www.slate.com/id/2180012/nav/tap3/ Maybe you've all been discussing this for months now, without me knowing. As is normal for my present state of mind, I couldn't even find the energy to read it to the end, but I'm sure there are people out there how will! Oh yeah and my stereo broke down, and I lost my calluses on my left hand, so I can't even sit down and play a lousy song to myself! Oh here is another link:I know Kakki and Victor told you about our evening at the Bel Air Hotel, where according to Kakki who knows all and everyone about the music business in LA it seems, Joni gives many of her interviews. It's the kind of place that makes you want to join the rich: warm and stylish and elegant and yet discrete and relaxed. ooooh I liked it. Fortunately, there are other things that draw me in other directions! Anyway, here is the hotel: http://www.hotelbelair.com/ Here is a little dvd; towards the very end of it there is a little clip from the bar where we had drinks and listened to the piano. http://www.hotelbelair.com/hotel_dvd/ Hell, with so many talented people on this list surely someone should be able to make a lot of money and donate them to a fund so that we can all go and stay there, right? Ok enough from here. Am about to to to town, to confront Christmas hell. Take care!

I went to see a friend a few nights ago. This friend is into baroque music and doesn't seem to like modern music at all. However, she showed me a CD she and her husband had just bought - it was by Goldie Hawn from 1970 or 72. I looked at the song listings and, sure enough, there was "Carey" by Joni Mitchell. i didn't have a chance to hear it, but I'm sure it's on one of your covers, Bob. I'm slowly catching up with the oldies while collecting all the new ones you put out. It's one of those things that, once you start, you really can't stop, because whether they're wonderful, weird or utterly wretched, collecting them all is a habit that's hard to break.

As for Goldie - yes, her cover of "Carey" is on Volume 7, it's quite good actually. She gets bonus points for singing "Mattala moon" as opposed to "mantle of the moon" as most folks do. She was also a featured audience member in the TNT Tribute broadcast. Bob NP: Randy Newman, "Shame" - --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.

I'd buy them off itunes, but I don't think they're available and it's unclear if they're ever going to be. I'd be grateful - if anyone of the JMDL has purchased them - if someone would be kind enough to upload them for me via yousendit or some such. I'll be happy to reciprocate with live Joni or perhaps another artist of your choosing. There's an alternate take of So Many Ways from Thoroughbred that's apparently quite flawed but I want to hear it anyway (why not?) and a number of other goodies - not even sure what the bonus cut is on Writer, but the track list indicates there is one. Any takers? Email me off list (I only get the digest, so I probably won't see a posted response). To buy both of the sets would be, like, $200.no dice. No matter how satisfyingly cute the replicas are. :~`) Thanks, Chris ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2007 20:45:06 -0800 (PST) From: Jeannie Subject: The Female Pope There may have been a woman who ran the Vatican, either in the mid-ninth century or eleventh century, holding her position without attracting suspicion until she lapsed into 'feminine weakness' and became pregnant and guess what her name would have been? ~Pope Joan~ Two of the most influential people for me in the most profound spiritual, positive, precious and suffering level and manner have been Pope John Paul II and Ms. Joni Mitchell. Both have touched the dark nights of the soul and sparked it into love and light and brilliance and to me they shine like no others.
