Thanks for your post. It was a delight to read about your first encounter with Joni's music and your impressions and faves. I'd like to invite you to check out the wallpapers section of the JMDL site at www.jmdl.com/wallpaper If you have any inclination towards graphic design, please feel free to submit a Joni themed wallpaper. I used the photograph that you mentioned as the basis of my wallpaper, "Ladies of The Canyon". I wouldn't know how to buy a reproduction or the original but I'd be happy to send you a copy if you like. Keep up the posts.

Unlike you though I didn't go back since at the time I was more into electric than acoustic and wasn't that interested in her previous stuff, plus since she was so prolific then I was getting new stuff every year, and what a run with C&S, HOSL, Hejira, DRJD - whew! It's taking me a lifetime to absorb even that segment of her incredible body of work. Hope you can stick around and contribute.

Speaking of the early Joni records I was lucky enough to get introduced to her on vinyl and for my money they sound so much better! Besides that..I like the action of having to get up and flip the record over...It gives you a little time to think about what you just heard and to prepare for side 2...

Still digesting those, but so far, Night Ride Home seems to be the standout. Its been awhile, but I think my first introduction to Joni was Free Man in Paris, which I heard on the radio. I probably had heard Big Yellow Taxi and My Old Man, too, but didn't know who the artist was. Free Man was what grabbed me though, initially. I heard a steady diet of Blue and C&S, and occasionally Ladies, while I was in college. My favorite, though? I dunno, I seem to keep coming back to Seagull. I just love it. Anyway, I actually had a specific reason for joining the list. Last year sometime, I came across a lovely B&W photo on the internet of Joni and Judy Collins playing acoustic guitars together in what appeared to be a treehouse, or maybe it was just a wooden deck. I seem to remember it was for sale as a print or poster, or somesuch. Anyone seen this picture, and more to the point, anyone know where I can get a copy of it? I think I was researching the circumstances of Judy covering Joni's song Both Sides Now. So I've tried recreating that google quest, to no avail. I just can't seem to find the picture again.

I've seen the tree house photo circulating on the Internet in the past, but the first time I actually saw the photo was in a People Magazine that I picked up in the waiting room at a dentist office. If you can find this magazine issue, you can cut out the picture and have your own glossy photograph to frame! :) People Magazine interviewed Judy Collins around 1992 I think, about the time of her son's suicide. There wasn't much Joni content except for the tree house photo and Judy Collins exclaiming how crazy she was about every single song Joni ever put out. Good luck!

Sorry I can't help with your quest, but I can pretty much guarantee you will soon have an answer from someone on this list. They know damn near everything related to our Joan, betwixt 'em all. I first heard Joni somewhere between the ages of 10 and 12, while listening to the transistor radio under my covers at night. I don't think I knew she was from my home province for a number of years, nor did I pursue information about her. But when I was 15 she had a hit with Help Me, and I scraped up 15 bucks to go buy the C&S album. After three listens, I was hooked. Now I'm 49 and still hooked. I love music, love singing it, hearing it, playing it. Singing, especially with others, gives me one of the profound joys in my life. Many singers provoke me to sing along; they move my heart or my feet. But Joni continuously astounds my ears, as well. I have no professional music training and cannot articulate my admiration for what she does, but for me the songs, their lyrics and arrangements along with her vocals and playing, are not only intelligent and masterful but are beautifully realized evocations of life. Wish I could explain! But of course I don't have to ... you all know exactly what I mean.

Welcome to the Jonilist! You will enjoy the discussion on here since it is filled with such diverse, intelligent minds talking about one of the most talented musicians ever! And of course there other talk is welcome as well! Thank you so much for that link. I wonder what Joni was playing/singing and what her and Judy were talking about before that photo was taken. They look so much at ease and I always wonder these things about people in photos. I, too, like you first found the Joni spark from the song "Free Man In Paris." The difference being I found it years later, not too long ago actually. I wasn't even born yet when the song came out though I'm jealous of all you folks who were!

This, more than anything she said, stuck out to me like a flower among the grass! Mojo asked Joni how she likes to think of her music and eloquently, very eloquently and accurately Joni said her music is "like a river, constantly changing." Of course she also said that sometimes it is still and deep and sometimes it is a raging waterfall. That is a perfect description of her music and a beautiful statement worthy of beaing quoted when anyone asks me what Joni's music is all about!
