And Happy Ides of March and Pi Day too. Wow, so much to celebrate, let's break out that vintage CD of Joni covers we've been saving for just such a special occasion, shall we? And an interesting bottle it is...14 tracks instead of the usual 19/20, but not to worry, there's no inflation or shrinkage involved, just several lengthy songs. The always creative Theo Bleckmann takes Joni's 2-minute Sunny Sunday and turns it into a 6+ minute adventure. Kate Hammett-Vaughan, a lover of the deep tracks, melds 2 tunes into a 1- minute romp, and an early cut from the Mutts, before they officially released it and went by Robin Adler & The Joni Band. Hey, she can really sing and whoever that is on guitar is KILLING it. Anyway, crack it open, indulge, and add some green food coloring if you must... http://goo.gl/JbJIyD 1. Theo Bleckmann & Ben Monder - Sunny Sunday 2. Lisa Hilton - Both Sides Now (alternate take) 3. Damian Nixon - Edith And The Kingpin 4. Damian Nixon - Harry's House/Centerpiece 5. Damian Nixon - Coyote 6. Damian Nixon - Amelia 7. Des'Ray - Both Sides Now 8. Kate Hammett Vaughan - The Fiddle And The Drum/Woodstock 9. Emily Nyman - The Circle Game 10. Lance Buller & Stephanie Porter - Twisted 11. Philip Moolman - Both Sides Now 12. Marie Little - Galleries 13. Robin Adler & The Joni Band - Woodstock 14. Lisa Hilton - Both Sides Now 14 songs, 14 slam dunks. Enjoy.

Plus it is also brilliant that you were able to involve Mr. Gibbs. I'm so grateful that we now have this incredible piece of music archived FREE for all the inspired musicians, maybe not even born yet, who want to learn it. That may sound a bit over the top, but I am dead serious ... This is so important. Thank you, thank you! Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Dave Blackburn Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 7:47 PM To: JMDL JMDL Cc: Chris Coccaro; Randy Remote Subject: Paprika Plains It is done. A transcriber's odyssey has been completed. Beginning with my interview with Mike Gibbs last year and then a casual question as to whether he might still have his original score to Paprika Plains, he then seached his house for a couple of weeks and located some old photostats of his handwritten score from 1977 which he sent me. Zoomed way in they were just legible. They only included the parts that he himself wrote, not the piano and vocal parts leading up to the orchestral interlude or the recapitulation after it. So a melding of his score with a new transcription of the piano and vocal parts needed to be done. At this time, my friend and co-transcriber in Australia, Michael Dunn, happened to contact me regarding something else and I mentioned that I was working on PP since Mike Gibbs had made it feasible. Between us we were able to complete the work in three months, and then we sent it to Mike Gibbs for his approval. He proof read it and was very pleased with the work. The full score, in 11x17 format http://jonimitchell.com/music/transcription.cfm?id=506 and a piano-vocal chart in 8.5x11 http://jonimitchell.com/music/transcription.cfm?id=507 is put up on the website today for all to peruse and study. We hope Joni researchers and historians will find this undertaking useful as well as musicians wanting to learn the piece. cheers, Dave Blackburn (and Michael Dunn) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 18:40:39 -0700 From: Dave Blackburn Subject: Re: Paprika Plains, redux Yes I have it, Jim, but ironically the additional reverb they used on it made it harder to hear individual parts, so we mostly referred to the original flatter mix.

Why is Joni's voice steely and strident on Court And Spark (the whole album)? It doesn't sound like that on FTR (the album). Do we know when she started releasing tracks that she recorded at home? I know that Larry and Thomas Dolby had replaced Henry as engineers on DED, but what about the other records?

The Living End was a Detroit club where Joni played quite a lot.




"Hi Pat, "Free Darling" in a 67 Song in an upbeat style similar to both "Chelsea Morning" & "Dr.Junk, the Dentist Man". I heard it on a November 5, 1967 recording from the Living End Club in Detroit." ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2014 #91 ******************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here:mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
