I enjoyed Michelle Mercer's "Will You Take Me As I Am" because she interviewed Joni directly and I liked her writing style.

Question to
this collection of Joni experts:  Which book or bio on Joni do you think is the "best?"

Thanks for your input!!

Laurie Antonioli




Hi Laurie!

I like
this DVD the best:


Joni Mitchell - Woman of Heart and Mind: A Life Story
(2003)

People have said that Joni is writing memoirs so I'm waiting for that, but this DVD is the closest thing to an autobiography so far to my knowledge.
I have this book:

Joni Mitchell: Shadows and Light Paperback by Karen O'Brien 

I haven't been able to plow through it.  I don't like her style of writing.

Love,
Laura

I wonder if the song Joni said she wrote for Peter Elbling could possibly be 
'The Rambler Rover Song'?  The song is in the guitar transcriptions section 
of JoniMitchell.com but it is listed as author unknown, arranged by Joni 
Mitchell.

Does anybody have any information about the provenance of this song?

Title: Day After Day
1965--

Audio clip of Joni singing <i><b>Day After Day</b></i>.<br><br>

In a 1968 Broadside Magazine interview Joni says of this song:<br><br>
<i>I bought myself a ukulele and I plunked my way through most of the 
summer. Then I went off to art college and started playing in a club there 
with Peter Albling, who was the headliner. He and I became the house acts; 
he's Mycroft of the Times Square Two now. For both of us it was our first 
professional gig in Calgary, Alberta......<br><br><

I wrote one song in Calgary. I don't remember what it was about. I wrote it 
for Peter. I don't remember how it went and I am sure he doesn't either. The 
next one I wrote was <b>Day After Day</b>. I wrote it going out to the 
Mariposa Folk Festival. That was in August, 1964.</b>

I find it somewhat Odd that Jonathan has the 1st disc but not the 2nd, and ...
Donald has the 2nd but not the first.

Please folks ... DO share these recordings with friends, BUT ...

PLEASE share the Complete recording(s) as you rec'd them.

PLEASE share these recordings in the SAME quality as you rec'd them.

Please, let's not compress a 16bit/44k aiff/wav file into a compressed, inferior mp3 copy.

Thankx.

Wow thanks, Pat!  Listening to Urge for Going, Chelsea Morning and The
Dawntreader...actually almost anything on STAS, I can believe that's what we
hear.  There's a mellow almost classical (nylon) sound.  To my ears, I think
she went all steel at some point, perhaps before some of Clouds was recorded.
"Both Sides Now" as on Clouds sounds a bit different.
