My tongue always gets caught in the whisk. I love brownies. Both kinds. Annie probably did put that special ingredient in originally but left it out of this recipe for publication. David Crosby probably supplied that ingredient. I can just see it now...David sitting at her kitchen table unfurling the greenery while Annie heated up the oven. Maybe Joni sitting there too, working on a new song, sunlight streaming through the canyon. Jackson and Stephen tinkering with the van outside. Neil and Graham, jamming on the porch. Things to think about as you eat your brownies.

I just shared it with two girls like us who saw Neil with me last December...and you know there may be more....Hi Kenny B! I'm still amazed at how I found you immediately. It was like I had Joni's antennae on. They picked up your signal the minute I walked through those doors. Magnet and iron, the Joni souls, I guess! ; ) (NPIMH: Now the seventh of December was covered with snow And so was the turnpike from Mansfield to Oakdale) Oops. Went off there a bit. Sorry. Here's the message I sent to workplace friends: ***** Hi Sally & Amy! This was in my Joni Mitchell Discussion List digest today: Subject: New spider named after Neil Young (njc) http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080511/wl_canada_nm/canada_young_col Peace, Patti P.S. Sally, thanks for sending that student to me. Tom, was it? I talked to him for a while and so did Norma and he seemed better afterward. I hope we helped him some. Really nice guy. I laughed when he said you told him that I would be wearing the same necklace as you. BUT he said he's never heard of Neil Young. Whattsa matter with kids these days??? ; ) And whatsa matter for YOU not teaching him about Neil? Sheesh. All of my student workers can pass the Joni Mitchell 101 exam after only one semester working here. **** Okay, c'est tout. Back to work. xo, pp _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch when you're away with Windows Live Messenger. http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_messenger_052008 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 16:36:48 -0700 (PDT) From: Peep Richman Subject: Re: From Bo Hello to every single member of our very special family! I'm past the point of exhaustion...rushed my sister to the hospital a few nights ago and she's in the hospital with no definitive diagnosis. My niece, Susan, (Barb's daughter...well that was profoundly intelligent!) is helping so much. And all four Poodles are in such a depression....so I'm giving them my love the best way(s) I can. Here's what I want to tell you..... I've been treating a SEVERELY depressed 24 year old for about 6 weeks. We connected. She's doing much better but the journey will be a long one. Here's my point....I just can't help this lovely person without Joni's help!!!!! I gave the person I'm working with THREE of Joni's Cd's and we are discovering so much through Joni's music and through Joni's soul...and the magic of her words. Joni is saving this young person's life....I know she sure saved mine too many times to count!!! I'm just so thrilled that Joni is so multi-magnificent and can extend her wisdom and love and pain with such clarity and so profoundly that someone who is in such acute anguish is beginning to embrace Joni....and heal. Joni is much more than a national treasure....the angels, God, blew kisses from heaven six decades ago and those kisses formed our Joni. Be well, treat yourself gently and isn't it magnificent that we have all found one another through Joni!!!!!! Here's a huge hug and a flurry of kisses, Bo ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 18:04:47 -0700 (PDT) From: Monika Bogdanowicz Subject: Re: From Bo I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I hope she gets better very soon. That must be tough but it is very nice what you are doing. As for helping out that 24 year old, I think Joni's music will help. I am a firm believer that music can be like therapy. Music soothes. Music helps. Music is like a friend. Music is like that friend that sticks around when all the doors in the world feel as if they have been shut on you. Specifically, I think Joni's music has a very soothing quality to it musically speaking and quite a bit of wisdom and/or insight lyrically speaking. You could even let this person know about Joni's bouts with depression back in the 70's... Anyway, hope everybody's having a good week. Mine is good. -Monika, working 50 hours this week but loving it! Peep Richman wrote: Hello to every single member of our very special family!

Trina Robbins appears in the documentary "Crumb" about the father (arguably) of the underground comic scene: Robert Crumb. Of course, I had no idea when seeing the movie that she was a principle character in one of my favorite Joni Mitchell songs. But, seeing her picture and reading about her on her website jogged my memory, so I looked it up and sure enough: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0730483/ Its a fantastic movie, btw, if you're at all interested in Crumb. Peace, David ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 19:19:47 -0600 From: Kate Johnson Subject: Joni and US registry http://www.cbc.ca/arts/media/story/2008/05/14/08us-recregistry Thriller, Joni Mitchell album make the cut for U.S. recording registry http://xoetc.antville.org Who Does She Think She Is? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 22:12:28 -0400 From: David Eoll Subject: annie-1 martha-0 First of all the brownies were wonderful, and not just for sentimental reasons. But, I am nothing if not a sentimental fool, so they were extra special. I was absolutely tickled that I was making the same brownies from the song. :) Annie says that Joni saw her as a hippie Martha Stewart. I just don't see it, and I don't think Joni would either. I just can't see Joni putting Martha in a song and having it be at all complimentary. What song would she fit in? Maybe "The Arrangement"? Or "Harry's House"? I don't know Annie but judging from her words, and Joni's words from the song, Annie strikes me as the antithesis of Martha. Martha is all about appearances, and keeping up with the Joneses, and perfectly folded napkins, and appropriate this, and tasteful that. Ugh! Let me out, I need some air. There was a missing ingredient from the brownie recipe, but it isn't the one everyone is talking about. As every real cook knows, the secret ingredient in any good dish is Love. Of the Three Ladies, I always identified most with Annie. (surprise, surprise) What I got from Joni's lines about Annie is that her kitchen and home were always well stocked with plenty of the secret ingredient. I believe that is what Joni was trying to say about her. Les, if you're still in contact with Mrs. Burden, tell her I love her bunches, and thanks for the brownies. With Love, David ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 21:14:15 -0700 (PDT) From: MattJones Subject: Judee Sill Website? Does anyone know what happened to the website that had a number of articles, interviews, and recollections about Judee Sill? I can't remember the URL, but it used to come up as the first or second site on google. I thought I'd saved it, but alas, I didn't. And now it seems to have vanished. I can remember the layout: black background, red accents. Long scroll down the side to links for various articles. Anyone remember this site? It wasn't too long ago that I looked at it, and now that I need it, it seems to have vanished!
