The only things I know for sure (sounds like Oprah, right?) are that I heard Joni songs from her earliest albums on the radio, as they were played, and liked them, but don't recall buying any albums at that time. My "wake-up call" came when my cousin played C&S for my wife and me during one of our visits to their home and I was hooked! Ironically, WLIR played the entire album on one of their subsequent "an album in its entirety" nights, and I recorded it onto a cassette tape. After that, I slowly began buying all of Joni's albums (including C&S), mostly from used record stores and flea markets (perhaps a couple of new ones along the way), until I had everything from STAS up to about Mingus. (Long live VINYL !). After that, I mostly bought new albums or CDs, (WTRF up to TTT) without hearing much from them in advance since they got such little radio play, hoping for the "next great Joni album." I was so disappointed that I never play them since the first few spins (the few songs I like on them don't move me enough to put them on the turntable or in the CD player). My own musical-progression, regarding Joni's music, is that my love for the earliest albums (STAS, Clouds, LOTC) has waned a little while my appreciation for the middle-era albums (Hejira & DJRD) has grown a bit. My favorites remain the early/middle trio of Blue, C&S, and FTR. While BSN was quite listenable, Shine was the first (new era) CD that really made me happy that Joni had another album left inside her.

Thanks so much for this find! I was about to quote from Sheila Weller's GIRLS LIKE US (pardon the SHOUTING, but I know what smoe does with italics, alas), and then I saw this post. The blog writer's version pretty much agrees with Ms. Weller's, which I believe was taken from her personal interviews with Don Alias, tho his quotes from the book read like his band--who regularly rehearsed in he and Joni's shared NYC loft on Varick St.--did in fact see the painting before she, ahem, adjusted it. LOL That's nitpicking. But what isn't is the fact that a commenter asked this writer if some of his info had come from GIRLS LIKE US. The guy says he has--of course!--read the book, and recommends it, but doesn't acknowledge that he might have, um, borrowed some stuff from it. He also makes some, excuse me, dumb-ass pronouncements that are nothing more than his opinion, to which he's entitled. For what it's worth, here's my comment to him, to which I'm entitled. *********** Ah, you should know from reading Sheila Weller's GIRLS LIKE US that Ms. Simon & Ms. Mitchell were certainly not "unwitting" about the fact that each had "had" JT and Mr. Beatty (who, incidentally, should have been named "Old Man of the Decade" by Rolling Stone mag in the 70s). I don't believe Carly has ever been linked romantically to Chuck Mitchell, Jackson Browne, Crosby or Nash, Sam Shepard, or Don Alias. Ditto for Joni and your laundry list of Carly's other famous lovers. But those are minor points. I must take exception to your answer to William that some of the refs here were not taken directly from GIRLS LIKE US. I worked on that book and am quite familiar with Ms. Weller's meticulous sourcing of certain quotes that were exclusive to the book. It would be nice if you'd NOT take a page from Stephen Davis and would give credit where credit is due. It would also be nice if you'd spell everyone's names correctly. Finally, it leaves me cold when men feel entitled to render their opinions as to why ANY woman might feel compelled to give up a child for adoption. In Ms. Mitchell's case, as in most, there is no one simple reason or rationale. And even if one could say unequivocally that she chose her career over taking time off to raise her child, that's HER business, and why is no one accusing the FATHER of the same thing and judging him? Nothing's changed much despite all that nasty feminism, has it? ******** My comment is currently "awaiting moderation". Stephen Davis is the author of a new Carly Simon bio, MORE ROOM IN A BROKEN HEART, which has been widely accused, by several writers and reviewers, of something dangerously close to plagiarism, and at best characterized as a poorly written hack job by someone who rather badly used his friendship with Simon's brother, Peter.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... Well, despite the blizzard conditions, I made my way to the Harris Theater last night to see the Chicago Jazz Ensemble put on a Charles Mingus concert. From the CJE's website: The program takes its inspiration from the last album Mingus made before his death at the age of 56 b his 1978 collaboration with pop genius _Joni Mitchell_ (http://jonimitchell.com/) , the album Mingus, which mixed pop, jazz fusion, and Mitchellbs vocals in a valedictory celebration of his life. That description might also apply to singer, rapper, and electric bassist Ndegeocello, who has earned 10 Grammy nominations for her genre-hopping artistry. bMeshell is a great collaborator, just as Mingus was with Joni,b explains Artistic Director Dana Hall. bI think there are a lot of ways we can explore that music, and also the other music where Joni reflects her interest in jazz. Webll be re-imagining Mingus for the 21st century, not just replaying the album.b I was so looking forward to this show. My wife begged me not to go because of the weather, but I told I would take the train downtown so it shouldn't be too bad. Well unfortunately the theater is a mile and half from the train station, and because of the weather it was impossible to get a cab, so I had to walk to the theater in blizzard like conditions. With bad knees, a sore hip and miserable weather, this was one hell of a walk. But the concert was going to be great so I kept moving on. Finally, I made it to the theater, got settled in my seat, and opened the program. Imagine my outrage when I realized the only song they were going to do off of Mingus was Goodbye Pork Pie Hat! If I hadn't just about killed myself getting to the theater, I would have asked for my money back and left the theater. I decided to take a deep breath, sit back and try and enjoy the show. Fortunately, it was a great show. The CJE was excellent. Aside from Joni's album, I'm not terribly familiar with Mingus' work, but this concert was very enjoyable. This was very complex music that was brilliantly played by the CJE. Ironically, GPPH was the worse song of the night. The instrumentation was fine, but Meshell's singing just didn't do anything for the song. Maybe that's why they didn't do more Joni stuff. Who knows. So in keeping with Joni's constant message of duality, I loved this show, I hated this show. Actually I didn't hate it, but I was outraged by the false advertisement of what the show was going to be. And as much as I enjoyed the show, I wouldn't have risked life and limb for it had I known the truth. And if I was Joni, and they used my name so blatantly to promote this concert (the CJE website, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Suntimes), and then they only did one song of mine, I would be furious.

I sang alto in some upstairs choirs. I also worked really hard at the piano in high school before realizing I would never be Lyle Mays. It is because of Joni that I discovered Herbie, Wayne, Jaco, Mingus, etc. I didn't really listen to much Billie Holiday until I found out about her special admirer. And these musicians' collaborators were brought to my attention. So part of my Joni progression is listening to her colleagues/influences' music, not just her own.
