It's just another side of Joni that, from what I've gathered, is the side normally expressed through her painting. Hi Shari and all, I love the video of Joni dancing to Dancing Clown in her kitchen. The song reminds me of the Dancing Clown music boxes. Here 's a cute one: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9v2xjvNUWvA The variety of tastes on this list makes it interesting. And Joni is never boring to me so there isn't a song of her's that I don't like. I have no expectations of what Joni should or shouldn't do artistically. I did at one time and then Wild Things Run Fast came out broke me of it. Joni's music has been a vehicle for me to grow in many ways as has been this list. Both y'all and Joni have taken me to places inside of myself as well as in relationships and geography and art that I never would have gone otherwise. If I had one phrase to sum up this experience of things Joni, I would say "life giving/enriching." I look forward to the ballet when it is finally ready and on. I hope to be able to go then and see you all. I miss you.

I have the poster for her Dreamland comp framed and hanging in my bedroom, along with 10 mini-copies of her artwork, as well as a photo of her playing a guitar that I won at the Idylwild raffle. (The photo, not the guitar).

In the picture of her at the side of her pool, you can see that her nails were painted a purplish color, but they are totally thrashed. Celebrities are just like us: their manicures get ruined. Also, I can't come close to bring able to afford a custom printed photo. I am seriously considering one of the art.com posters of her Vogue pic, though. Fess up. Who has a poster hanging in their bedroom? Betsy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2013 06:56:59 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: It's Coming On Covers! Volume 178 Happy weekend, everyone - pretty balmy here in SC and I don't mind it a bit. Certainly doesn't feel like Christmastime, and the only snowmen we see here are the tacky ones you have to inflate. But enough of that silliness - I'm here to talk COVERS. And another brand-new release coming to you this time...volume #178 with a stocking stuffed with audible goodies. If you're looking for some different River's to throw into your holiday playlists, look no further as I have FIVE included here. As I predicted, River has left BYT in the dust as the #2 Joni cover. They ran neck and neck all year, but this holiday season the ditty pulled a Usain Bolt and dashed away, dashed away all to take a substantial lead, just as I predicted. Iain Matthews does a nice acapella unplugged take on Woodstock - he was, of course, the leader of Matthews' Southern Comfort who had a big hit with the tune decades ago. Don't blame me for Throwing Stuff's BYT - Les Irvin pointed me to it; although I will confess that I love the anarchistic punkishness. Leoni Jansen's River, meanwhile, is fragile and beautiful like an ornament, and original too. Curtis Nowosad offers up a lovely jazz piano take on My Old Man, proving once again (as if we needed proof) that nearly all of Joni's melodies stand on their own. Here you are: http://goo.gl/phQTVc 1. Leoni Jansen - River 2. Curtis Nowosad - My Old Man 3. Maria Laura Bigliazzi Jazz Quartet - A Case Of You 4. Karen Basset - Big Yellow Taxi 5. Shadows And Light - River 6. Shadows And Light - Conversation 7. Inga Rumpf - How Do You Stop 8. Ilaria Biagini - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat 9. The Wilderness of Manitoba - River 10. Trine Hanssen - The Dry Cleaner From Des Moines 11. Elaine Poleri - A Case Of You 12. Tosi Poleri - A Case Of You 13. Carrie Mac - River 14. Iain Matthews - Woodstock 15. Suzanne Sheridan - Chelsea Morning 16. Suzanne Sheridan - The Circle Game 17. Ren Harvieu - River 18. Suzanne Sheridan - Blue 19. Throwing Stuff - Big Yellow Taxi 20. Travis Coombs - River 20 songs, 20 hits! Enjoy.

Thanks so much!! I even found Rainy night house with the complete beginning. What a joy! Joni is the main reason I started playing guitar when I was just 12 years old. I heard Ladies of The Canyon LP and fell in love. She is the only musician I can think of that has this kind of amazing music log. No one else in my humble opinion.

A Paprika Plains score is the only thing I wanted out of this group when I joined. I don't always have time to listen to the song when I shuffle around to it, but I am always in the mood. I have remix questions. Why was the line "Gotta get some air" cut? I was kind of attached to it, although I don't think the song suffers without it. Who decided to push the project forward? Was any digital pitch correction done? Why was the volume so low in the first part of the original? Some of the poetic passages I love are the description of all the smells in the ladies' room, the beating drum reflected in the piano, the alliteration of beads/bottles and the double entendre "smashed", the visual depiction of the disco ball, and all the dreamy floating. The music is amazing. Literally Somehow, I only recently realized that Wayne Shorter was on soprano, so now I pay special attention to his part.
