Do you people who have e-mail on your cell phones REALLY want to receive up to 30 or 40 individual calls, many of which recently have cut and paste errors and needless repetition. Go ahead, feel free. I will stick to digest. mike in bcn NP Mariza - transparente ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 06:57:23 -0400 From: Gerald Notaro Subject: The List So much talk about individual versus the digest so I went back to my welcome message from MajorDomo and Kakki you were correct.

Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 10:56:12 -0700 From: Subject: CSN, IHAK, Fests, etc. I'm catching up here. Thanks, Paul, for the heads up on the new CSN! That sounds great to me! The past few weeks I have been laboriously transferring my 100s of CDs and records to iPod (ugh) - I'm almost there but still on the road with it for awhile. The good part is revisting many somewhat forgotten discs, including many CSN, Byrds and derivatives. And geez, Buffalo Springfield is even reuniting at Neil Young's Bridge School benefit in NorCal at end of October. I hope I can be there. I also came across some old tapes of live music at a couple of mini Jonifests at my place in 1999 and 2001. Mark in Seattle recently posted about our '99 Van Gogh exhibit get together. I had rose-colored memories of the music at that gathering but found we were actually doing Kareoke to most of the Joni tunes that night! Still, Mark, you had the best voice! I will listen to it some more to see if I should transfer to CD. The other tape, which was titled "Jam After NAMM" from January 2001 has some real live music and even better (and funny) sidebar conversations recorded during the night ;-) We had good guitars, mics and Phyliss even brought a real amp for that one. I am making it a project to copy CDs for all who were there that night, just for nostalgic, archival purposes and to amuse us in our old age LOL. On that tape I also found a recording of Clark and me performing IHAK! I remember wishing I could have Clark on call whenever I wanted to sing - - our voices melded well and he is an outstanding player and vocalist. So now I read that IHAK is supposed to be in some difficult tuning! I'll have to stick with the modified first songbook chart. The few times I tried to retune in "Joni" all my guitar strings immediately broke and started flying off around the room. Sue, all the best with your upcoming Joni tribute concert! Wish I could be there. Happy birthday Bob! Thanks for so generously providing us with the amazing and often rare array of Joni covers all these years. What a collection! I need another iPod just for those! Now that I am coming into the new century technology, you will not need to send me the hard copies anymore. I hope tthat will lighten your load a bit and hope I can in some small way repay you for all your efforts at some point. Thanks to Anita and Lieve for sharing the U.K. Dave and Robyn concerts with us. I can imagine how stunning it must have been. Take care all, Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 10:52:47 -0700 From: Subject: Re: The List Amazing!

As I've mentioned before, 2010 has been just crazy with full-length Joni tribute CD's, and I just stumbled on another one that came out this week. Irma Schultz Keller, who was instrumental in the 1996 (and recently re-released) "A Bird That Whistles" Joni CD has come out with a Swedish-language Joni tribute CD titled "Blank Is sanger av Joni Mitchell". There are a couple of videos on YouTube that are terrific (A Case of You & Rainy Night House) and you can also hear "Lille Gron" (Little Green) on her Myspace page. I have to try and figure out which Joni songs she's doing here, and Scandinavian linguists please feel free to pitch in. Here's the tracklist: http://www.irmaschultzkeller.se/?page_id=25 Bob, about a week away from #129 NP: Ian Shaw, "This Flight Tonight" (one of those rare ones that I got from YOU) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 20:54:29 +0200 From: Moni Kellermann Subject: Re: CSN, IHAK, Fests, etc. Am 26.09.2010 20:33, Wie Bob Muller so vortrefflich formulierte: > As I've mentioned before, 2010 has been just crazy with full-length Joni tribute > CD's, and I just stumbled on another one that came out this week.

I've actually been googling like mad and had all of them figured out except for Cactus Tree ("Lotteri"). I love that People's Parties is "Folks Fester". I thought that one was going to be "Woodstock" based on the name. Now I have to figure out how to get a copy of it.

This is what I wrote about the singing and performing when Travis & I arrived back in Seattle after the Van Gogh mini-fest: Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 19:55:57 -0800 From: Mark-n-Travis Subject: MEMBERS OF LOST TRIBE OF MITCHELLJONIA FOUND IN LA HIGH RISE (snip) And when Paz got out the guitar and the VG8 and the singing began - what a revelation! Everybody knew the words and it was like finding your long lost tribe! Paz played 'Love Puts on a New Face' and a beautiful rendition of 'Amelia' and many, many more. Steve Dulson nimbly picked out some tunes on his dulcimer and had a lot of fun noodling with the VG8. Paz also played keyboards and we were able to do 'Court & Spark' not to mention 'Me & Bobby McGee' (a la Janis Joplin) and a wonderfully harmonious 'Teach Your Children'. And somebody couldn't resist sneaking a little bit of Grace Slick into the CSN version of 'Wooden Ships' that the others were doing and I'm sure it sounded really odd (particularly sung by a baritone). We also did some 'For the Roses' karaoke. But the big surprise of the evening was Clark. A competent guitarist himself he favored us with three quite beautiful & moving songs that he had written himself. Clark is a very intense and talented man and it was great to get to meet him. (snip) Kakki, I vaguely remember you holding the microphone up to me very briefly during the karaoke. Having never sung with one and always feeling intimidated by any kind of instrumental accompaniment, I always think I sound horrible. I'm sure you're much too kind. Is anybody still in touch with Clark these days?

I'm so glad you found your account of that night. Thank you! My memories were not so foggy afterall and there must be some gems on the tape other than Joni Kareoke! I'll process this other "vault item" to CD and send to you ;-) Trust me, you have a great voice! Although I don't think Clark is on the list anymore, happily we are still in touch! He is great - still very handsome and multi-talented and, impossibly, looks younger than he did back then. He joined a bunch of us at the Joni ballet this year and I also saw him a few months ago at a party. Not sure if he is still recordindg his music but he is writing novels and screenplays these days, among other creative ventures. Sigh, maybe we can all do another encore mini-fest together again someday. Maybe Joni or something else will give us an excuse ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2010 #269 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
