David Marine asked > You're right, I don't think there's anything that Joni could do to kill the movie, > but she could withhold the rights to use any of her music. Without any of the music, > they probably would have a really tough time getting the project greenlighted. > - - - - - The producers of any movie need Joni's permission and authorization to use her name, her likeness or her music. They also need her permission and authorization to use her Recordings, if an actress were to Lip-Sync instead of actually singing Joni's songs for the movie. THAT's how Joni Kills (ie: killed) the movie. Make sure the producers understands that No permissions or authorizations will be forthcoming. Joni actually signed a New management agreement with Elliot Roberts to protect her interests and handle any relevant negotiations. Now that the movie is a *dead* issue, that relationship has lapsed once again. - - - - - - Catherine McKay posted > At the TimesTalks event, Joni talked about having "squelched" a movie about *her* life. > She says she spoke to a producer who was apparently at the movie showing in BC last year. > She also mentioned something about not being just blonde hair and cheekbones. > This led to a Facebook discussion, with some of us thinking she may have been talking about > the "Girls Like Us" project, but it's possible she was talking about something else - that is, > if there were ever discussions about a movie being made about her. Yes, the movie in question was a film version of the "Girls Like Us" book. Interesting to note that, to Joni, a "Girls Like Us" movie is about *her* life. As we all know, in addition to Joni Mitchell, the book is also about Carole King & Carly Simon. Carly Simon ??? Talk about a false equivalency. Thank God! this movie IS a *dead* issue. Taylor Swift? as Joni Mitchell? This is someone's idea of a sad, sick joke. It's also somewhat naive and arrogant of Taylor Swift take this on as a 'first' acting role and think she could actually pull it off. Gimme A Break! Listen, the book is Crap and the movie was going to BE Crap.

Excerpt #1: Early Dulcimer History Excerpt #2: Joellen's Dulcimers There is also a Trailer for the film. Hearts of the Dulcimer - Official Trailer (2013) Additional information is available, check out the following: Official WebSite FaceBook Page Mailing List This looks to be a truly interesting film. Especially for those interested in early American (so called 'Roots') Music. I look forward to seeing it. However, I would point out that the story of the dulcimer is certainly a larger story than Joni Mitchell and her -4- dulcimer songs. - - - - - - I'm not sure when I first came across the recordings of Richard & Mimi Farina, but ... The first time I remember seeing a Dulcimer being played was in the hands of Brian Jones. There a Video you can check out @ It's Brian - the song "Lady Jane" - and a little rock 'n' roll band he started called The Rolling Stones. andmoreagain, - - - - - - - - - - simonM PS: there another interesting Video of Brian Jones playing Marimba with The Rolling Stones. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 15:28:06 -0400 From: Richard Flynn Subject: Re: book or bio I agree.

Man Of Constant Sorrow - Alison Krauss & Union Station (featuring Dan Tyminski) GODDAMN!! re: Dan Tyminski - HIS is the voice you hear in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Grammy Performance (2002) Good music doesn't die. It just keeps going on and on, around and around. You can't kill it. Duke Ellington once said "There are only two kinds of music, there's Good Music, and the other kind" ALL the above is Plenty Good! andmoreagain, - - - - - - - - - - simonM http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/ PS: One more video Show me a twenty-one year old today writing songs like this one.
