Just wanted to chime in along with Lieve and say how much I enjoy the discussion/clarification too. Haven't had the time to listen and decipher, and I can't access yousendit here at work (or Facebook, or youtube, or.....) but all of these early songs totally fascinate me and all of these bootlegs are so precious for that reason. I still remember hearing those 2nd Fret Sessions for the first time (thanks to Brian) and having that "On Beyond Zebra" moment where I realized there was so much more out there than I knew about.

The first verse is exactly what I hear but there are, as you say Sue, some problematic lines. Is Dreamer herself, or did she mis-sing "dreamers" plural? Spectrums on rainbows and "day" is enigmatic. I definitely don't hear "Spectrums bend rainbows", though scientifically it makes sense. Here's my take on the Come to the Sunshine lyric: Now comes the mornin, Wet with the kiss of evening, Shadows fade, sulking away. Sunshine for Dreamer, Black this magic to believe in, Spectrums on rainbows and day. I never saw skies so free, Never so blue, Morning with mystic pageantry, Unveils a time for sharing love with you. Come to the sunshine, Share in the quiet of knowing, No need for telling you sometimes, When all the answers are so plainly showing. Teach me to tell you, All the feelings Ive been learning, Tell me to teach you my heart. New words are crazy, Old love words keep returnin All words seem wrong from the start. So I will tell you with my eyes, Say with a kiss, Silence that asks no ifs or whys, And needs no answer on a day like this.

You can find it at CD Baby and you can hear a snippet of this song: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bigyellowtaxi4 It's not the controversial bits though, just some of the chorus. I have the CD at home, and it's on my I-pod as well. (It's real purdy.) Christina sings: Now comes the morning West with the kiss of midnight Shadows stayed sulking in the way Sunshine for dreaming Blackest magic to believe in Spectrums and rainbows and days So, I don't think it helps! Somehow this song reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot who, by the way, is still not dead. When Joni sings "mornin' " and other "in's" for "ings," this isn't a Canadian thing. It's a folksinger thing. Or maybe a folksinger thin'. Just sayin'. I wonder if Joni remembers the words? Also remember, she has been known to change the lyrics as a song evolves. ________________________________ From: Susan Tierney McNamara To: Anita G Cc: Dave Blackburn ; jmdl LIST ; Catherine McKay ; Bob Muller ; Lieve Reckers Sent: Wed, February 24, 2010 11:54:28 AM Subject: RE: Lyric dilemma Hi Ann, I just checked the website and Fairport covered a lot of Joni songs but not Come to the Sunshine, as far as I can tell.

I'm assuming they used the JM.com lyrics available at the time. Speaking of Tir Na Nog, they did a cover of 'Songs To Aging Children Come' a while back (1999). Not a very common choice, so bully for them! I'll have to check my stash and see if I have any alternate versions of Come To The Sunshine. It is a VERY pretty song - Sue, I remember you doing it at your first Jonifest at the Full Moon. And in other Come To The Sunshine news, there's another song with the same title - Harper's Bizarre (I think) recorded it.

It was a wonderful experience, even though Joni wasn't there. Seattle gave the ballet an enthusiastic reception, applauding and even giving forth with a few shouts of approval between songs and ending with a rousing standing ovation. Some of the audience took up the clapping that the dancers were doing onstage to the rhythm of 'If'. I think the Alberta Ballet Company was pleased with the audience as well. But, although Joni wasn't present, there was still icing on the cake. I got to meet Cassy & Brad! I was standing in the lobby and someone said my name. I turned and recognized Cassy immediately from the Idyllwild Jonifest photos. We had an all too brief visit and all I can say is that my impression is that Cassy is a really special human being and Brad is as well. Cassy's warmth and overall positive energy emanate from her. I hope we can meet again. It took long enough for two people to meet who probably live less than 15 miles from one another. This was through no fault of Cassy's. She was kind enough to send me her phone number and offer of support when I was going through a dark (and snowy) time a little over a year ago. Lily Tomlin's character Tess, the crazy/wise bag lady in 'The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe (A Cosmic Soup Opera)' relates her attempt to explain to a space alien the difference between a can of Campbell's Soup and Andy Warhol's painting of said can of soup. 'Soup, art. Soup, art', she repeats several times, miming holding up each object in turn. In the end of the play, the space alien tells her: 'Tess. The play is soup. The audience is art.' I didn't see any soup last night. Both the ballet and the audience were art.
