And thanks Joni for sharing your gifts with us. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 13:00:38 +0000 From: "Betsy Blue" Subject: Joni Mitchell Mars Retrograde Transits This is kind of heavy on astrology, which I am not into, but has interesting comments on Little Green and the adoption/reunion story. There are lots of rare pictures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2hvd802q6U ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 14:31:49 +0000 From: Susan Tierney McNamara Subject: RE: CONVERSATION: early (longer) version You will find as you listen to a lot of these early concerts that Joni brought to her sets these embryonic songs that are standards today. I remember on one set she says "I wrote this song today" and then proceeds to sing a rough but incredible version of Cactus Tree, singing "she hopes that one will ask her for eternity" a line she quickly changed later ... This is a really great performance of an embryonic All I Want from the Pink Dress concert of 1970: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQpZXUGRy1U I think with both this song and the longer Conversation, Joni edits down to a version that is more universal, and she takes out some of the more angry primary color emotions ... a great look into Joni's writing process and why she is such an amazing songwriter.

The guitar's still tentative, not really settled into the syncopated rhythm yet. Think she was right to cut that third verse?... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QjQY8U3eN4&feature=related Best wishes to all.

My friend Cam Davis (drummer for Fanny) introduced me to Holly, Cris, Tret and many others. But most of all she introduced me to Joni.
