I don't know the numbers, letters, or the staff." I wonder how she kept track of her songs as she discovered them. So she twists all the knobs just right - how does she recall that tuning? Do you think she just memorized it all? I wouldn't be surprised - her ability to remember all of the lyrics she plays is pretty impressive but there was that music stand she auctioned off...

It was a first listen for me so thought I'd pass it along and see if there were any other hidden gems that anyone else knew of.

Bob beat me to it - yes, I saw her play ACOY on that tour, but did not see her with a dulcimer again (eg 1987 Cowboys for Indians and 1993 Troubadours of Folk). *************************************************** Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA FAR-West (Folk Alliance Region - West) tinkersown@ca.rr.com www.far-west.org ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 14:29:05 +0000 From: Susan Tierney McNamara Subject: RE: Great Joni interviews Yes, and then if worse came to worse she could always go to the JM.com database! :-) Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Shari Eaton Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 9:50 AM To: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Cc: joni@smoe.org Subject: Re: Great Joni interviews Ahhh I see ... "Instead of writing out guitar tunings using the note names for each string, Joni herself uses a system of one letter and five numbers to describe each tuning. The letter is the note name of the bottom (lowest pitch) string, and the numbers represent the fret numbers at which you play one string to be able to tune the next open string." http://jonimitchell.com/music/notation.cfm : ) Shari On Jul 10, 2012, at 6:03 AM, Bob.Muller@Fluor.com wrote: > Do you think she just memorized it all?> > > Joel Bernstein took care of that for her. > > Bob > > NP: Ben Folds, "Learn To Live With What You Are" > ------------------------------------------------------------ > The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity > to which it is addressed and may contain proprietary, > business-confidential and/or privileged material. > If you are not the intended recipient of this message you are hereby > notified that any use, review, retransmission, dissemination, > distribution, reproduction or any action taken in reliance upon this > message is prohibited.

I suppose it would have been worse had I gotten tickets and then not been able to attend.
