Rufus Wainwright mentions Joni Mitchell (and why they didn't hear much of her in his home growing up). "I grew up mostly with my mother and her foundation was folk music, whether it was Bob Dylan or Pete Seeger, she was very much from that mould. The essential barometer was extreme quality. MyB mother tended to stay away from anythingB that was overtly successful [laughs]. We didnbt listen to a lot of EltonB John, or Carole King or Joni Mitchell. There may have been a tad of jealousy, where she may have said well, bIB wish I B hadB made that much money and garneredB thatB much fameb. So, in terms ofB my parentsb contemporaries, as long they didnbt sell too many records, then weB would listen to them [laughs]." http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/music/5758/rufus-wainwright/?utm_content=buf ferd6169&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2014 06:50:23 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Joni Covers #183 - Foxy Lady Happy weekend hippies - here's another BRAND NEW collection of Joni songs what's done by others...Volume 183. Something old, something new. Ronnie Aldrich and The Crawfords date back the the 70's as do the Windstorm Singers from Oklahoma Christian College. Tina Arena's studio version of the franchise was shared back on Volume 117, she's since released a live album and went back, Jack and did it again so here's her live take. And of course many many more treats to tickle your eardrums. Here's what our friend Jimmy Stewart, currently on a cruise, had to say about #183: Thanks for another good covers CD. I liked Suzanne Michelle's "River". I did read where she met her husband while on a 1700 K walk to some place. Kind of unique. The Crawfords were ok on Woodstock, but the female singing on BYT was HORRIBLE. Loved the nice jazzy flute from Mohamed Beddiar on EATKP. My favorite was Lauren Fox. She has a pleasant voice. She's a singer and an accomplished actress. Apparently she really loves Joni, putting on two tribute shows "Love, Lust, Fear, Freedom: The songs of Joni Mitchell & Leonard Cohen" and "Canyon Folkies: Over the hills and under the covers".

Rushmore Me, too. (By the way, my book finally came, number, wait for it, number, ......, THREE.) But we are not being appropriately respectful of Joni. Perhaps we should start researching carving her image, and perhaps one stanza from A Case of You, on the surface of the moon.
