But , I believe Joni has already announced her retirement, because of her illness ! - Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2012 09:33:20 -0500 From: Marianne Rizzo Subject: graspiing for joni Well, I am digest9ing this a bit gary and anita and all. I think that there are some of us that see joni's wide volume of contribution and say, joni (Play) do what you want, We are so grateful for all you have given us. . . oF COURSE we would like anything, anything, anything at all that you could say or write. . but WE ACCEPT IT that you are possibly at a time to kind of retire. . . (we just want your happiness) you have given so much then there are others who are just clinging to needed and wanting more. we want more truth and beauty I understand both sides, I guess that I am sort of more in the acceptance stage. . but it sure would be nice to bring a joni fest to joni lOve to all, Marianne From: "Gary Hanick" It seems like we're grasping for any bit of Joni news and it feels sad. Hopefully she will have new music out in 2014, which will be a 7- year gap since "Shine". My sense is that she does not want to release anything unless it is really really good. Plus, she has no label. Maybe it will only be released on line and she will change her opinion of the internet. Every Dylan release -- at least since the 80's -- gets acclaim as his best yet, but tends to have a short shelf life. I think his last few really suck - -- sorry. Joni's gets either ignored or panned, yet grows in recognition over time. How unfair is this? Just musing.. > It seems like we're grasping for any bit of Joni news and it feels sad Hi Gary I am curious about your sadness. What is that feels sad to you Best things Anita ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:03:24 -0500 From: Michael Sentance Subject: Joe Smith & Joni As some may be aware, Joe Smith - described as a music executive - donated to the Library of Congress a collection of over 250 "off the record" interviews with significant figures in rock/rock/pop music in the 1970s-1990s. The first set of these interviews have just been posted on the Library of Congress website: http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/joesmith/. Some of them are amusing while others are bit a painful. Joni Mitchell was interviewed sometime in the 1986-88 period but her interview is not yet available. Graham Nash is among the first set and does mention his relationship with Joni very briefly. Other unreleased interviews of those who intersected with Joni's life and career include James Taylor, Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Herbie Hancock and David Geffen. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2012 01:10:18 +0000 From: Michael quebec Subject: The big 7-0 in 2013 Hi everyone, Delurking for an instant. I'm looking forward to the gala in Toronto in 2013, mentioned recently by Jean Grand-Maitre, to honor Joni's work on the occasion of her (gasp !) 70th birthday. http://jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=2540 If there's any way I can get to Toronto for this event, I will. And it looks like there will be a new ballet (with some new songs) in the spring of 2014, so apparently there's lots of life yet in the old gal, lol ! Wishing you all good things for the coming new year : calm, health, love, ecstacy !
