I don't like radio and never listen to it, especially commercial radio so, I wasn't set up to just turn one on. I clambered to find it online but when I listened, nothing! I'm not sure if I missed it or just didn't exist. Did any of you Sydney guys catch this? There was no mention of it on their website either. Mark in Sydney ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 20:05:43 +1000 From: Mark-Leon Thorne Subject: Mark Isham I started listening to the Windham Hill artists soon after William Ackerman started it. I bought a sampler album very cheap and loved it straight away. As I usually do when I hear a compilation, I started investigating further the artists that stood out to me - William Ackerman, Alex De Grassi, George Winston, Philip Aaberg, Liz Story and Mark Isham. At the same time, the music from the movie, Mrs Soffel has haunted me since I first saw it and wondered if it was available to buy. Sure enough, it was on his Windham Hill album, "Film Music" together with Never Cry Wolf and The Life and Times of Harvey Milk. I found it so haunting that I tried to learn to play the Penny Whistle. Not realising that Isham is a multi-instrumentalist, I was quite shocked to learn he plays trumpet. I was even more shocked to see him playing with none other than Joni Mitchell on her Painting With Words and Music concert. It was funny to hear her pronounce his name as "Eye-sham" but, I guess she would know that that's how he must pronounce it himself. I've had to adjust. I also have his album, Vapor Drawings. Does anyone know if he has any other albums. I was also curious if Mark has played on any of Joni's albums. I'm thinking, possibly, Shine.

I don't see his name on the credits on JM.com but I think I read in an article that he played on "Stay In Touch."

Chris Botti played on most of those shows, however. Interesting sidebar trivia - Mark Isham's album "Kiss The Girls" (soundtrack to the film) contains a song titled "Hejira", but it is NOT a Joni cover.

It kind of sounds to me like said that stuff tongue in cheek, but you never know. It's print media, so no facial expressions to be found! Otherwise, yeesh - talk about embarassing! It seems to me she had some problems with how Kilauren was raising the kids, but I don't remember whether smacking/not smacking was part of it. i think it had more to do with what movies are appropriate for little kids to see. (Tried a search on jmdl.com but got error messages back.) I think that Marlin is probably 15 or 16 now too. Try smacking one of those and see what happens! - --- On Mon, 6/8/09, Marion Leffler wrote: I do hope she was joking about smacking her grandson, though!

It's very JC PLUS I should think Joni would definitely be at the LA event and you never know - maybe she'll be in Seattle too. It's close enough to Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast, where Joni has a home (but she likely wouldn't be there in February) but just up the road (a long one, mind you!) from LA. Whether she's there or not, though, if you like dance even a little bit, be there! - --- On Mon, 6/8/09, Richard Goldman wrote: From: Richard Goldman Subject: Fiddle & The Drum U.S. Dates [NJC] To: "JMDL" Received: Monday, June 8, 2009, 3:35 PM Seattle's Paramount Theatre February 23Irvine's Barclay Theatre February 25 and UCLA's Royce Hall February 26 & 27 (and really not [NJC] because you know she'll probabaly be there!) ~Richard n.p.

For those of you who may not be familiar with the work of Emily Carr, here is a link to some of her work in the Vancouver Art Gallery. She is iconic in the Canadian Art scene, like Tom Thompson or the Group of Seven. I especially like Carr's pottery and her later paintings from the 1930's. Beautiful work, full of spirit. http://bcheritage.ca/emilycarrhomework/gallery/gallvag/vagmain.htm Michael in Quebec _________________________________________________________________ Internet explorer 8 lets you browse the web faster. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9655582 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 02:39:39 +0100 From: gerard mclaughlin Subject: Re: Joni on Point - LA Times hehe.
