It gave me a real feel of what the ballet was all about. You included an intriguing YouTube clip that I think people may want to know a bit more about, so here is the link to its full version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrkAEn1HHSA with the explanation of the guy who made it, while travelling in Ireland and being struck by the contrast between the street musicians and the "perfect" surroundings of Joni's exhibition in Galway (reference to "For Free").

(especially the second night). Best from Vancouver, Michael ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 05:09:12 -0800 (PST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Come In From The Cold Maybe it's a generational thing. Or maybe it has to do with whether you're a visual or an aural person. Videos don't do much for me either. In fact, I can think of only one or two Joni videos I've seen. I didn't even know they existed until someone mentioned them here. I should probably look for them on Youtube! I can't speak for Bob, but I guess most of my important music years were my teens, and there were no rock videos then. There was the occasional movie (The Beatles' "Help" and so on) and appearances on TV shows like The Smothers Brothers, and before that Ed Sullivan, and there were specials devoted to one popular artist (I think there was a show called "The Midnight Special," but don't know if that's the one I'm thinking about. So it was a treat to see your favourite artists on TV. But the main thing we did then was to listen on the radio or the record player. I'd take my transistor radio with me when we went on trips and I'd put it under my pillow at night and listen to CHUM-FM (back in the days when they were cool and didn't play the same stuff everyone else plays these days - old fogey talk!) Music was something you could either listen to intently or have on as background when you were doing other things. I just remembered that there were ear-phones for the transistor radios, but there would only be one for one ear. The sound was probably crappy but, at the time, I certainly didn't know it, nor did I care. I think video demands more attention. You have to sit there and watch it. I think I can only watch a video once, maybe twice, and that's it. But I can listen to music all the time. Actually, these days I find it hard to listen to music and do anything that requires concentration at the same time, but I think that's something that happens as you get older, unfortunately. I need to pay attention to the music if it's music I like; otherwise, it needs to be turned off - can't walk and chew gum at the same time! I can't have the TV on and have a conversation with another person, although I do know people (even people my age) who have their TV on all the time, like background noise. That would drive me crazy. On the other hand, if video has inspired your lovely wallpaper, then it's a good thing. ________________________________ From: Mark-Leon Thorne To: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Cc: jonipeople LIST Sent: Thu, January 28, 2010 1:58:58 AM Subject: Re: Come In From The Cold I have to respectfully disagree, Bob. I think it made '80s music that may have been otherwise forgettable, much more memorable. ... Nothing Can Be Done actually had David Baerwald in the clip which was a treat. That also gave me a new appreciation for the song and inspired my wallpaper for that song. What do others think? __________________________________________________________________ The new Internet Explorer. 8 - Faster, safer, easier. Optimized for Yahoo!

It's a wordless version of Blue played by Joni on piano and da-da-das with flute by Paul Horn on a long out of print LP called "Visions". A friend discovered it and sent it to me today. http://tinyurl.com/y8ghqr2 Hoping to have one over on Bob! A bit unlikely I fear!

After careful thought, I've decided it'll be necessary to register and log into the site before one can view the Library of Articles. I regret having to do this, but hopefully it'll solve the problem. The good thing is, it's still free and hopefully always will be! Registering is a quick process and all we need is to verify that you have a valid email address. http://jonimitchell.com/login.cfm We will never use your email address for anything.

This one made me think: there have been demonstrations and protests against the Olympics here in Canada, because apparently they were "ripping off Indian land again" to build some of the stuff (and there are other issues, too - like prorogation of Parliament by the current PM.) And Joni sings about how they've been cutting up trees and tearing down mountains in her Sunshine coast home. I wonder what she thinks about the Olympics in this case? If she did show up at one of the shows, I wonder if she'd say anything about that? Just curious... ________________________________ From: "TheStaff@JoniMitchell.com" To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Thu, January 28, 2010 5:24:38 PM Subject: New article: Fiddle & The Drum strikes old-fashioned protest note to open Cultural Olympiad.
