McNamara" Subject: Joni Mitchell Complete So Far I have to say that I am enjoying going through the new Complete So Far tab book by Joel Bernstein. I think for anyone who is a student of Joni's alternate tuning method, this is a good companion to the many EXCELLENT tabs at the Joni Mitchell guitar and piano site. I decided I would learn a couple of songs that I hadn't played before, including Nathan LaFraneer and the Circle Game (can you believe it!). Although there were a couple of chord shapes here and there I didn't agree with, overall I feel that by learning the songs off these sheets, I was able to play the songs the way Joni wrote them. Really fun songs to play too. The lyrics in Nathan LaFraneer are really thrilling me ... through the tunnel tiled and turning ... into daylight ... I am escaping ... love it!! Also, the tuning list that he has at the beginning of the book is arranged by the tuning key, which is fine, but I much prefer the databases choice of "family of tunings" as Joni calls them, or generic tuning, which eliminated the lowest string and is based in Joni's number system. Well, I'm hoping that after some more in depth perusing I'll be able to write a more comprehensive review, but if others are using the book, I'd love to hear what you think of it.

(Last week was Free Man in Paris, which also sounded fabulous over the PA.) Joni does not play piano like she's in a bar. Love me some Tori, Elton John, Billy Joel, etc. http://www.cbc.ca/irrelevantshow/ I felt like it was a little lost in translation. Do regular Canadians actually know about Joni Mitchell like American musicians and former hippies do? (Do not be offended by my gross generalizations.) When Tina Fey did a parody song, it was background to a scene. She was making fun of her character being the kind of woman who would like Joni while also liking the music herself. Her husband was also the musical director and probably has more appreciation for it than your average man. (More overgeneralizations.) Canadians, when do you start your Christmas shopping? Do you have a Black Friday in mid-October? Is it bigger or smaller than Boxing Day? What about everyone else? I LOVE shopping and consumerism in general, but I'm also curious about other cultures.

I recommended Joni here: http://www.kennedy-center.org/programs/specialevents/honors/?confirm=1 Also received a follow-up email that stated: "Your recommendation will be sent to the Special Honors Advisory Committee. All eligible names will be reviewed by the committee." I completely forgot to mention Joni's DANCE (ballet) contribution!
