Thanks for that Michael, great interview. sue - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Michael Sentance Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 9:58 AM To: joni@smoe.org Subject: Judy Collins on Joni: "She's a difficult woman" There was a recent (October 27, 2011) interview with Judy Collins in the New York Times. The recording of the interview is embedded in their web page. It's pretty interesting. The interview starts with about 19:48 left on the podcast after an interview with the Dum-Dum Girls. A group that is outside the realm of my experience. Anyway, the link is here: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/27/popcast-interviews-with-dum-dum-girls-and-judy-collins/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2011 13:34:57 -0500 From: Michael Sentance Subject: Re: Judy Collins on Joni: "She's a difficult woman" I wish Joni was happier and more understanding of her standing among her fans and the world. I certainly understand that her irritation about being overlooked as a poet (although the forth-coming book might help). At the conclusion of Sheila Weller's book, I thought Joni might have found some peace and contentment. But some of her recent comments about contemporaries seems to suggest otherwise. And then there are Neil Strauss's comments. Perhaps she's working on that five volume autobiography and the opening old wounds causes renewed pain. Anyway, it's a long time since that wonderful Rowland Scherman photo of Joni and Judy in a treehouse which can be seen here: https://www.morrisonhotelgallery.com/photo/default.aspx?photographID=3688 One of the reasons for Judy Collins' comments is that "Cactus Tree" is on her new release, "Bohemian". For those unable to get the album, (it's not currently available for download on Amazon, iTunes or her Wildflowers records site), here is the duet of Collins and Shawn Colvin doing "Cactus Tree": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSQDr1LRwho On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 12:36 PM, Anita G wrote: > On 8 November 2011 16:03, Catherine McKay wrote: > > She doesn't call.

I loved this line in the review: "In truth, though, it's hard to single any one person out for praise, because each member of Mutts Of The Planet played their asses off.
