[Catherine McKay ] Greenwich Village : The Music that Defined a Generation [Paul Castle ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2011 12:25:28 -0400 (EDT) From: ChamberMuseInk@aol.com Subject: Joni's Smile Hello, Christopher Grener here, writing to you from Syracuse, NY. Forgive me if I am repeating a story here. Several years ago, I purchased a Billboard magazine that had a picture of Joni smiling on it's cover. Despite having been a fan for quite some time, it was the most "hi beams on" photo that I have ever seen. I had Hejira on the CD player as I was working up a version of it. I was so inspired that a piece of music that I call "Joni's Smile" just flew into and through my fingers. My guitar was in a drop C tuning and Hejira's vamp found it's way in as a musical quote at the end. As I build instruments I created what some might view as a sort of a modern version of a mando cello cross bred with a 12 string - using octave sets as opposed to unison. I call it a "Chrystoline". Below is Dropbox link of a version of Joni's Smile that I recorded and mixed yesterday using it's voice(s). I would like to share this with the group, but, am unsure of the political correct way to do so. So, I am sending this to you for your approval and or advice on how to proceed. Please note that the Dropbox WAV file is 52 M. _http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22239107/Joni%27s%20Smile.mp3_ (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22239107/Joni's%20Smile.mp3) I send this as fidelity is important to me. But, as it would take some time to download, and as some could not play this file, I also have attached an MP3 of the same cut. I would appreciate knowing what you think. If you feel it appropriate to send out to the group, please feel free to do so. It is sincere homage. I ask you indulgence of the fact that I am rather old fashioned in that I believe in asking and not assuming. Have an excellent day.

In a very Spinal Tap moment, I just saw the front page of the Globe tabloid in the supermarket checkout line with a "where are they now? 20 of your favorite pop stars" headline accompanied by photos of Little Richard, Sam the Sham (who would care?) and, yes, Joni Mitchell. The word incongruous was never so applicable!

Even if I don't get to see the film itself, just seeing these clips and reading the long interview are more than worth it!

Arrrggh. The tabloids. Usually the province of Kardashians (who the f*ck are they, and who the f*ck cares? apparently the tabloid-reading populace) and whatever popstar is up there and ready for a fall. What would they know of Joni Mitchell? I'm surprised to know they've ever even HEARD of her. And never mind Sam the Sham - what about those Pharoahs? (Am I even spelling that right?) >________________________________ >From: Dave Blackburn >To: JMDL List >Sent: Friday, October 7, 2011 12:46:49 PM >Subject: Joni mention in the tabloids! > >In a very Spinal Tap moment, I just saw the front page of the Globe tabloid in the supermarket checkout line with a "where are they now? 20 of your favorite pop stars" headline accompanied by photos of Little Richard, Sam the Sham (who would care?) and, yes, Joni Mitchell.

I love the sound of the Chrystoline. The attachment was removed by SMOE (which doesn't like attachments), but the dropbox link (the 2nd one) worked, and I'm listening to it now. >________________________________ >From: "ChamberMuseInk@aol.com" >To: joni@smoe.org >Sent: Saturday, October 8, 2011 12:25:28 PM >Subject: Joni's Smile > >Hello, >Christopher Grener here, writing to you from Syracuse, NY. > >Forgive me if I am repeating a story here.

I actually found that a pretty accurate review, even if they said that Joni pulls off the "middling adult rocker" aka Dancing Clown.
