Check out "People's Parties" and "The Same Situation" from the Quad COURT And SPARK album. There's a little surprise. You'll know ... More later. andmoreagain, - - - - - - - - - - simonM http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:08:22 +0000 From: Susan Tierney McNamara Subject: A conversation with Joni ... Please ask her what field she is tilling in the crop rotation ... We know she is being creative in some way or she wouldnt be Joni! Sent from my Verizon Wireless Phone ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 12:39:52 -0400 From: simon@icu.com Subject: An Offficer, An Oscar & Buffy Sainte-Marie Last friday I was home watching "The View". Richard Gere was one of the guests. Among the movies mentioned during the discussion was "An Officer and A Gentleman". And THAT reminded me of the best scene IN the movie. You know the scene I mean. Dressed in his dress whites, after graduation as a naval officer, the Richard Gere character marches into the factory ... right up the the girl he'd been seeing. She, thinking the relationship was over, is totally surprised as he kisses her, then picking her up in his arms, walks out of the factory. There's a freeze frame and the music comes up. The song, a Great! song, is "Up Where We Belong" How many of you knew the song was written by Buffy Sainte-Marie? And that Buffy rec'd an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for 'Best Original Song'. That's right! Buffy's got an Oscar. - - - - - - Buffy Sainte-Marie made an important contribution early in Joni's career. Along with Ian & Sylvia and Tom Rush, Buffy was one of the first singers to record Joni's songs, bringing her first songwriter royalties and publishing profits. It was Buffy Sainte-Marie who suggested to Joel Dean and Elliot Roberts that they go down to the Cafe Au Go Go and check her out. After hearing her perform, Elliot immediately expressed an interest in managing her career. The rest, as they say ... - - - - - - Once again I UpLoaded several recordings via YouSendIt. You can DownLoad them @ Here's what you'll find 1. Audio - the song "Up Where We Belong" 2. Video - the song "Up Where We Belong" w/ a short intro from the DVD "A Multimedia Life" 3. Video - another short segment from "A Multimedia Life" about Buffy's early days in Greenwich Village. This one includes JONI. Enjoy! andmoreagain, - - - - - - - - - - simonM http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:08:27 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: An Offficer, An Oscar & Buffy Sainte-Marie Further to Simon's post, her 1967 Album "Fire & Fleet & Candlelight" featured "The Circle Game" as well as "Song To A Seagull".

This part struck me, especially: > It was one of the most important experiences of my life > as the exchange became one human being talking with > another about something very simple. I think, personally, that Joni probably tires of all the adoration and would truly appreciate a normal conversation with a fan about everyday things. I would like to think that, should I ever be so lucky to meet Joni, I would remember what I always tell myself about everyone: we all put our pants on one leg at a time. Joni is a person, first. She just happens to be a brilliant songwriter, musician, singer, and painter (and who knows what else). Maybe, because I've had the good fortune to have worked for some "famous" people, I just see everyone as a person who does "this" or "that" for a living or as a passionate hobby or whatever. But they are all still just everyday people, in the end, and I would enjoy having a conversation with Joni about cold remedies. Besides, you never know what song or painting might come of it. :-) Lori Dotzheim On Sat, Sep 15, 2012 at 10:16 PM, Anita wrote: I really understand the enormity of the feelings behind the possibilty of > meeting Joni.I have had the great good fortune,as a fan,to have met Joni > twice.The first time I was almost overwhelmed as I didn't know how I would > find words.Joni was most gracious and kind and helped me out.I found my > tongue when I realised she had a cold and we talked cold remedies.It was > one of the most important experiences of my life as the exchange became one > human being talking with another about something very simple.In my life,it > taught me about the ordinary being extraordinary, sometimes.
