Sharon you've got a husbandb, b*And a family and a farmb, b*I've got the apple of temptationb, b*And a diamond snake around my armb, b*But you still have your musicb, b*And I've still got my eyes on the land and the skyb, b*You sing for your friends and your familyb, b*I'll walk green pastures by and by Doesn't Kelly Dale basically mean "green pasture"? I don't necessarily think this is a conscious reference like in Chinese Cafe, but it seems like the rhyme scheme would allow any number of terms in that spot.

It is never the easiest of things to read but I found the JMDL digest and got stuck in - not many posts but that is OK. Good to see the stalwarts still batting back and forth here and there.. Interesting little thread going on about "How do you stop" and then I read in Bob's comment - "I think the addition of Seal gives it a nice touch" Made me laugh out loud as all I could think of was the sort of honking noise that sealions make. People stared and looked at me in a slightly pitiful way. I realise it is a "just me then" moment but thank you for lightening a very very grey English morning where the clouds are barely able to lift their heels from the pavements. Southern Hampshire is all adrip! Must get on with some work Queen Lulu - please note new e-mail address - the old aurabright@supanet is dead. Have a lovely day all of you Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:17:13 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: How Do You Stop not written by Joni Mitchell Hi Kate - Yvette in English is what she wrote with Crosby, I'm sure you knew that. "How Do You Stop" was written by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight. The lyrics are a bit mundane for Joni..."how do you stop the ripening corn, how do you stop a baby being born"...having said that, she does a good job of making the tune her own and the addition of Seal gives it a nice touch. Their voices are a great blend. The collaboration on his record ("If I Could") is better still. I count it among the "Joni covers" as the first time I heard it was on Joni's record.

I am imagining we are all subconsciously grieving no album from Joni and gone quiet as a result. It would be time for something new, something wonderful but it's not happening and might never again. That could explain the drop off. Or I could be havering which wouldn't be such a big surprise. At least it's a post. The silence is deafening though....

Yes, that's THE Max Bennett on bass! http://youtu.be/hZoqcOXBu9Y hope you all like it. love, Dave and Robin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:28:28 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: Song for Sharon I never thought of that but it certainly could be the case. The song is of course purely autobiographical. By the same token she could simply be referring to Sharon's green farmland as opposed to Joni's more metropolitan and hurried lifestyle at the time. Bob This sounds like a scream, I have to hear it! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 09:15:16 +0000 From: Anita Subject: Re: How Do You Stop not written by Joni Mitchell I seem to recall Crosby describing Joni going through his lyric (at his invitation) and writing "cliche,cliche,cliche" all over his initial lyric for Yvette.Poor guy!
