Had a blast last night hanging with Ms Einerson and her pals and I even met the reclusive Scott. He actually does exist. I was beginning to think he was a blow doll with attachments.

So as with most youtube.com videos they give you other choices on the right of other videos with the same song or artist. They had the Herbie Hancock version with Joni from the Nissan Live Sets. MUCH TO MY AMAZEMENT, there is a shot of the audience with my Jonifest pals Pete and Lesli!!! Please tell us more about your attendance at this amazing event!!!

Corinne Bailey Rae I'm sure those long cold winters must have affected Joni somehow. Notice how she moved to California and that her Canadian home, assuming she still has it, is on the much more temperate BC coast where it likely rarely dips below freezing. But, despite the urge for going, I bet those cold winters were fun in their way. I remember as a kid growing up in Pembroke, Ontario, how much snow we used to get but how we used to stay outside as long as we could, building snowforts, having snowball fights, tobogganing and just running around like a pack of wild dogs. I'm sure it got very cold there, though likely not -32 (which i believe is the point at which Fahrenheit and Celsius agree and is, in plain English, friggin' cold.) And yet, I don't remember noticing the cold all that much. These days, living in Toronto, where it occasionally gets really cold (once again, not -32 even with windchill, although it was -16C yesterday, but today it's 1 or 2 above and stuff is melting), even though it usually doesn't snow much here, I can't stand winter! My kids never really grew up with all that stuff we used to do - the snowforts and so on. I kind of think they missed something. It's partly because we just don't get the kind of snow we had back in the Ottawa Valley and partly because their lives are so much more regimented than mine was when I was a kid. My mother stayed at home but I've worked all my kids' lives and they were in daycare and there was never all that hanging-out-in-the-neighbourhood stuff we had as kids. I remember enjoying winter back then because there was something kind of mystical and mythical about it. Even today, if it's a cold and snowy day, especially when I don't have to work, I do enjoy giong outside and rambling around in the snow and then going inside some cafe or something for a hot chocolate or a coffee. In fact, one of the things I really enjoy is not having to go to work when other people DO, and then I can watch them scurrying to work and laugh at them! But, for the most part, winter kinda sucks! - ----- Original Message ---- > From: Kate Johnson > To: Mags > Cc: Susan Tierney McNamara ; Anita G >; shadows and light ; JMDL > > Sent: Tue, January 18, 2011 2:40:21 PM > Subject: Re: Nissan Live video of River RE: Anyone seen this yet?

Now, having seen it, I would suggest (if it has not already been suggested in earlier posts) that in addition to the character name and All I Want references, the director/writers may have borrowed part of one scene from the punchline to "Off Night Backstreet". If I were a betting man, I would back that suggestion. Any takers ?

Corinne Bailey Rae Oh, you Brits (and southerners and people what don't gots snow)! A snow fort (I think it's actually two words, whereas before I made it all one) is a fort that you build out of snow. You can either pile up snow chunks or huge snowballs or just pile the snow up some way or another and then you get inside it and throw snowballs at other kids. We often built ours close to the road, where the snow plow had gone by and already piled up some for us. You could make a bunch of snowballs for a stash of ammunition to get ready for your enemies. If you were a mean kid, you'd destroy other kids' forts, or else take them over. Sort of like what grownups do, really! If there were a Winter Fest, I wonder if I'd go! Something in Quebec at Carnaval time would be cool, but hard to arrange because there would already be too many tourists there during that time. - ----- Original Message ---- > From: Anita G > To: Catherine McKay > Cc: Kate Johnson ; Mags ; >Susan Tierney McNamara ; shadows and light >; JMDL > Sent: Tue, January 18, 2011 5:54:21 PM > Subject: Re: Nissan Live video of River RE: Anyone seen this yet?

Gonzales" Subject: Song, et al request Hi all - long time lurker and almost non-poster since TTT came out! I still enjoy following everything, though. I was wondering if anyone has digitized the old JMDL tape trees? I was cleaning out some stuff and found my Troubadors of Folk show ('93?), Wells Fargo Theatre show and the All Things Considered from May '93 in a box and wished I could listen to them again. If anyone has an easy set of files or something to access (don't wanna put anyone out here), I'd love to be able to bring those into my collection again! Thanks and I hope everyone's having a great 2011! Jerome (p.s. Do I remember correctly that we once circulated a version of The Circle Game by Dolly Parton from her 70s TV show? Sorry, a rush of memories hit me with finding this box!) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 20:25:11 -0800 From: "Mark" Subject: Re: Nissan Live video of River RE: Anyone seen this yet? I did the same thing and was fascinated by how both versions moved me but in different ways. Both passionate, both deeply felt and beautiful. But so different. The woman aged, acquired a lot of life experience and the instrument changed. The pain of the song was still so beautifully expressed but from a different perspective from the original. Wonderful to see and hear both versions.

Corinne Bailey Rae I remember as a kid growing up in Pembroke, Ontario, how much snow we used to get but how we used to stay outside as long as we could, building snowforts, having snowball fights, tobogganing and just running around like a pack of wild dogs. I'm sure it got very cold there, though likely not -32 (which i believe is the point at which Fahrenheit and Celsius agree and is, in plain English, friggin' cold.) And yet, I don't remember noticing the cold all that much. This reminds of Jane Siberry's song 'Hockey'. Although I'm not Canadian and have never played hockey in my life, that song captures something of what I remember about playing outside in the snow in Iowa as a kid. Snow forts, snowball fights, building snowmen, sledding. It *was* fun when I had moved 10 times 'round the seasons and was looking at my 10th clear frozen stream. Or somewhere thereabouts. But when I got to college age and went to university in the northern part of Iowa I really started to hate the cold weather. And the snow. It piled up in the parking lots and got dirty and ugly and seemed to take forever to melt away. It got slushy and made your feet wet and cold. Then the slush froze and made the roads and streets into sheets of ice. And the wind in Cedar Falls Iowa in January always felt like it had to be the coldest wind on the planet. I do remember 40 below F wind chill factors from my last winter in Cedar Falls. You can have it! My first winter here was so mild I thought, 'Wow! This is easy! I love it!' I have always thought Joni must have been glad to escape that cold and dark part of her early life when she went to California. I certainly felt that way when I moved here although as far as darkness goes, I believe I got a bit more of that. It can get to you if you let it. And more than 2 inches of snow paralyzes Seattle.
