Joni in Montreal, 1974 [Patti Parlette ] RE: Merci beaucoup, Simon! Joni in Montreal, 1974 [Patti Parlette Subject: Merci beaucoup, Simon! Joni in Montreal, 1974 Thank you, Simon, for the Joni chapter. I just skimmed it and will digest it later. And while I'm here chicken-scratching, I don't know if I ever thanked you for finding a Joni concert I attended in the Summer of 1974. When I joined the JMDL five years ago, it was not in the Chronology. I wrote to you about it, unsure of the exact date, and you found it! 1974.08.04, Place des Nations, Montreal, QC http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/detail.cfm?id=1829 There is even an article there! Ooh la la! "Sous La Plue" (should be Pluie, n'est-ce pas CoT?) ("In the Rain"). I can't believe that no other JMDLers were there that enchanted evening. Anyone? Anyone? It was a sublime, magical night. I've written about it here before; someday maybe I'll do a proper write-up for our wonderful jonimitchell.com. There are so many good writers here (Kay, patrick, Marks, and you know there may be more....) that I'm a little shy about doing that. ("I get so damned timid...") It was so long ago that I couldn't possibly remember everything she sang. Plus, my write-up would have so much personal stuff in it. The voyage to get there and all, sleeping in a farmer's field w/ no money or food for 2 days with that strange strange boy, the Canadian whiskey and Labatt Cinquante (50)...ha ha! When in Canada, on boit et fume comme un Canadien! I have three photos, too, taken w/ our Canon FTB and telephoto. Grainy, out-of-focus, and faded, but still.... Should I send them to you or Les? What do you pay for old pictures? I want to make a lot of money before I quit this crazy scene. LOL....JUST KIDDING!!!! She was BEAUTIFUL that night. Stardust.

If you want to get really fussy and French, you'd probably only use a capital letter on the first word ("Sous la pluie") because they're not big on using capital letters unless they're necessary. > > I can't believe that no other JMDLers were there that > enchanted evening. > Anyone?

When in Canada, on boit et > fume comme un Canadien! My memory for things past is very poor and I'm always amazed at those of you who can remember events in the past. Even if you can't remember everything, you can always do an impression of it. Remember how Wally Lamb had a character in his book claim that she was in line with Joni for the port-a-potties at Woodstock. Was it Lamb getting the facts wrong, or the character being creative with her past? At least, if you were there in Montreal, you can be pretty sure Joni was really there. ;-) __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?

[...] 'I mixed antiquities right into the modern. I always had a softer edge; it wasnbt like looking at Herman Miller.' This approach apparently gelled with an initially reluctant Joni Mitchell, who went through a detailed account of Lewisb work on her Bel-Air home in a 1976 issue of Architectural Digest, wherein she expressed dislike for the "decorated" look.'

"Do you know that Joni was not at Woodstock?" And I did ask him that night at the booksigning. Wally scratched his beard thoughtfully, paused, and said, in all honesty I believe: "You know, I'm not really sure if I knew that or not when I wrote the book. I think maybe I did NOT know that, but now I do." ANYWAY, yes I was there. Yes, it was awesome. And yes, at Les's urge for going to upload the photos, I just did! There's even one of Joni sitting on her groceries, au piano! Voila: http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/detail.cfm?id=1829 It had rained all day, and we waited and waited. All the naysayers were naysaying. No money. No food. And then....the sun came out and dried up all the rain and then.....OMG. There she is! MISS JONI MITCHELL! (I just got goosebumps. I'm imagining her opening w/ Carey but who knows...) xo, pp _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Hotmail.: Celebrate the moment with your favorite sports pics.

Who's going to the Joni tribute show at the Sydney Opera House in October? I thought it might be nice to meet up for drinks before the show. This is going to be one fantastic show. I'd pay to see any one of these seven artists let alone a night filled with Joni's music too. I am just dying to know which songs they will perform. I do hope Katie Noonan does some of Joni's jazz songs. What will fellow Canadian chanteuse, Wendy Matthews sing? She is a legend in her own right as far as I'm concerned, having sung with the likes of Aretha Franklin and Cher. Can't wait to hear Tania Bowra too. She would be perfect for some of the earlier material. Something from Court and Spark maybe.
