MOA was one of my first introductions to Joni Mitchell and it inspired me to buy more. It also made me a bit of fan of Tom Scott. I love this album. It's no better or worse than THOSL, it's just different. I love them both. MOA has a special place in my soul.

After playing a raise the roof Urge for Going by Darrell Scott they just played Carey.

But I still maintain that these are 2 different animals and each is brilliant in its own way. In a way, MOA can be seen as a summation of the first part or phase of Joni's carreer with a nod to things to come. With THOSL she was definitely venturing off into new territory.

Max Bennett was FAR from a "twenty-something." Unless, of course, he was around five when he was touring and recording with Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald in the 1950's. And John Guerin was at LEAST in his mid-thirties (Joni, BTW, was 30 at the time...and 31 on 'Hissing'). Besides, isn't it basically the same group that played on 'Hissing?' Basically, the only (occasional) significant additions were perhaps Larry Carlton and Joe Sample. And--most importantly--what about the 7 (9 if you count "Cold Blue Steel..." and "For Free") jaw-dropping "solo" performances from Joni (on dulcimer, piano and guitar) on some of her most classic songs (whereas 'Hissing' was ALL "lite-jazz")? Not to mention that the new band arrangements--on the 8 tunes where they DO appear--were truly revelatory (like "Rainy Night House" and "The Last Time I Saw Richard"). So--for me, anyway--there's simply no comparison. And again, I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree. ;-) XXXOOO, Baffled Billy (who handily rates 'MOA' in his top-5-Joni) NP: 'Farewell Aldebaran' (1968) by Judy Henske and Jerry Yester ___________________________________________ jlamadoo@sbcglobal.net wrote: >>> To me, MOA was a bunch of twenty-somethings skimming along, playing light jazz.

I told him, that during that time, I would have classified Joni as "singer-songwriter." I compared her to the likes of Bob Dylan and James Taylor at that particular time (1970) explaining she's not really like Taylor (because she changed so much through her career) but at the time, perhaps there were some overlaps.. Would that be correct to say in 1970? I went on to tell him Joni came from folk and she's really singer-songwriter/folk/rock/jazz, etc. She went through so many changes and so on and can't really be compared to anyone. He was curious so I did the best I could do with Joni and her changing ways! - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:34:54 EDT From: Rusty10113@aol.com Subject: Re: I CANNOT STAND JOHN MCCAIN!!!!!!!!

I have also focused my life for the last 20+ years on the family and the trips one can take with even leaving the farm. I have little desire to seek pleasure or intellectual endeavors away from our home. As for the moist sod, Hell, that's what we do every day here on the farm at Sunnyslope, Idaho, but it usually involves a hoe and a shovel and lots of weeds.
