This song has become an earworm for me in my time at the computer this afternoon. I'm glad I'm not at work, so I can just sink into the sumptuosness of the experience. Does anyone else play Joni over & over & over & over again, till it feels like blood ? I had a college roommate who complained that I played Joni over & over again & I wasn't even high ! This version is so far superior to the cd version, it makes me want to hear her next cd in this manner. I liked SHINE, don't get me wrong - a more refined take on her DED, but this approach - a mature, philosophical, deeply felt Joni at this stage in her life is what I want to hear. Not that she was ever anything less than all that - but to hear her take on things now, well that's what we all hope for, isn't it ? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2011 12:38:33 -0500 From: Sharon Watkins Subject: Shadows and Light Mary and Laura, I thought I was the only one who got stuck on Joni songs and played them over and over! This past year especially I would sit at my laptop for an hour or so each evening listening to my favorite Joni songs repeatedly. It was like there was a complex of musical flavors that I had to keep absorbing. My teenagers would come in and roll their eyes, "Mom's getting her Joni fix again!" unfortunately my kids are not Joni fans but I keep trying. My son was kind enough to learn Hejira on guitar for me. My daughter, studying graphic design, made a beautiful poster of a fictional Joni concert this year. Wish so much that it was true!

It seems to be written right before her European hiatus that produced much of the material for the 'Blue' album. I've often speculated about what Joni might have done if she had been a formally trained musician so it's interesting to me to read her comment about learning composition if she had two years off. She talks about beginning to think about adding instrumentation to her music and singing parts into a tape recorder. Reminds me of Max Bennett's descriptions of her process while making 'Court and Spark'. "I'm very possessive about my own art-I think everyone is. I know how I want it to be and I have a very total picture of it. It's expanding now and I can see other instruments. I can't write music though, I sing different parts into a tape recorder. If I had two years off I'd probably go back and learn composition." She started out with a natural gift and built many great pieces out of it as she honed her craft and learned how to use that gift. Some beautiful, some provocative, some enigmatic. She also had a strong sense of artistic integrity and refusal to compromise. Isn't that what art and genius are all about? I relate very strongly to her comments about discomfort in social situations. 'People's Parties' was one of those songs that made me feel like she was inside my own head back when I first became familiar with it. And her need for solitude to create in in the midst of a very busy social life is something Virginia Woolf complained about almost constantly. Biography and autobiography are both tricky things. As Marion said, memory tends to be inaccurate and people with an agenda of their own can put any kind of spin on an incident or attach importance to something insignificant and blow it up out of all proportion. Can an objective truth be documented from the subjective nature of human memory? Where is the value or interest, however, in merely recording a collection of what is verifiable as fact - date of birth, schools attended, dates and lists of recordings and concerts performed, etc.? How do you give an accurate, insightful portrait of a human life?

His mention of journeying from Cedar Falls, Iowa to Minneapolis for a concert sometime in the mid-70s clinches it for me. Tom Wilmeth was a DJ for the university's radio station, KUNI and I can still remember the night he played 'Paprika Plains' in its entirety shortly before the release of DJRD. He had announced that he would be playing some of a new Joni Mitchell album and I went to my friend Melanie's apartment to listen to it with her. Tom had a very deep voice that really carried well over the airwaves. He also was the assistant director for a production I was in of 'The Boys in the Band'. I wonder if there's an email address for him on the publication's website? I'm going to have to check it out. Of course, Melanie & I were enthralled by 'Paprika Plains' and excited by the prospect of hearing all of the new release.

But this one is real, Joni's voice is easy to recognise - it is her more recent, smoky voice. The comment only says 1983-07-24 Wantagh, NY > > Am I the only one being totally surprised by this?

Quite a lovely song indeed. You can find it on Joni's rarities boxset, it's the first track on disc one....no, wait, that was just a dream some of us had.

"Who is on electric guitar that isn't Joni Mitchell?" I guess is the correct question. Michael Landau - cool! He's awesome! Thanks!

Subject: Re: Day After Day Hi Bob, I have an old concert program from the first Joni concert I ever attended at the Avon Theatre in Stratford, Ontario on July 10th, 1969. In the biography it contains, it states: "As time went on, she found she enjoyed singing more than painting, and decided to make a trek to the Mariposa Folk Festival, a three-day trip east on the C.P.R. On the way she wrote her first song, a blues number called "Day After Day," timed to the clacking of railroad wheels on steel rails." I think I have a list of the songs she performed that night. I'll have to look for it. That concert hooked me on Joni and her music for life. It was my first chance to get to meet her, and she signed that program for me. If I remember correctly, she wore the same green velvet dress that she wore on the Dick Cavett show soon after. Woodstock took place around that time, didn't it? Hope all is going well for you in China. Stay safe! Gary Detroit Bob Muller wrote: > Newport is not right...I think it was the Winnipeg Folk Festival.
