Volume 195, to be exact - full of tasty morsel for your audio pleasure. Laura Benanti starts with a wonderful version of "Conversation" which is just such a great song anyway. Black Crow & Woodstock in Swedish. A couple of medleys, Joni meets the Beatles and Billy Joel. Big Yellow Taxi shows us why "Just Like Me" should have been released and not left languishing on the shelf. Meinhardt Merry recasts BYT as a ballad, very different. Sufjan's FMIP which you either love or hate (I'm in the former group). A couple tracks from older Joni tributes. And we close with a River that doesn't flow very well(s). https://www.yousendit.com/download/ZUcxZGl1d0FRYStGa2RVag 1. Laura Benanti - He Comes For Conversation 2. Irma - Svart Kraka (Black Crow) 3. Devavani - Woodstock 4. Big Yellow Taxi - Just Like Me 5. Sufjan Stevens - Free Man In Paris 6. Sean Weaver - Both Sides Now/I Need You 7. Christopher Dean - Urge For Going 8.

It was so great to hear Big Yellow Taxi singing "Just Like Me". Such a beautiful song, and I still don't understand why Joni didn't release that song. Loved hearing "Black Crow" sung in Swedish, but you know I love most of the non English songs, and Irma has a great voice. A lot of tributes on this CD, and they were all wonderful. My fave is Sufjan Stevens "Free Man In Paris". He sang in the tribute compilation back in 2007 with many well known singers. His voice is soft, but such a different twist to the song. Loved this very much! Thanks for all you do Mr. Muller! xo Jimmy NP: Harriet "If" she's incredible!!! give a listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHHRuGYw0GY In a message dated 8/23/2014 9:29:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time, scjoniguy@yahoo.com writes: > Hi everyone, take a break from the annual "notches" discussion and enjoy > some lovely Joni covers!

Today as we biked she told me Free Man in Paris has been playing in her head over and over again for days. She said she wakes up in the middle of the night and it is still playing in her head. I played Sulfan Steven's version for her as we biked, hoping it might change things up... but she said she likes Joni's better, and it didn't work. Now I've got Sulfan Steven's running through my head! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPltG6Vl-ms I was a free man in Paris trumpet trumpet. I love it! Here it comes again. Listen...

Every Saturday the Wall Street Journal has a Review section with a quarter-page feature called "Playlist." Famous people write short essays on music that has had special meaning in their lives. Today, I read Gail Sheehy's piece on "Both Sides Now." Sheehy's last words are "Today I connect with Joni's line 'Something's lost but something's gained from living every day.' I'm looking forward to the next turn in my story line." I also find that line to be the most meaningful one in the whole lyric. Sheehy is 76; I'll soon be 74.

I can't imagine that Joni in her pomp, elicited that response from her paramours, but there was a lot of drug taking at the time.

B Without analysis, what comes to your mind immediately? For me it was Clouds. BTW, vocallyb& Hissing of Summer Lawns came right to my mind. And as for her being young and writing incredible lyrics, the question is, whose mother reads Shakespeare to her child?! B Also, Joni has the gift of gab as many first children or only children do. B And, polio woke her up. B I read last night in In Her Words, that when she was quarantined, her mother visited her one time and brought her the Christmas tree that was instrumental in her recovery, and her dad didn't visit her at all. B Sanitariums were like that. B Definitely it was a wake up call for Joni at the age of reason. B Then there's Little Green, losing a child who ends up being out there somewhere, the radio being a means to sing to her perhaps. B Anybody else have the new book yet and reading it? I love that it is comes through her friendship with Malka. B What better way to do this thing than in conversation with somebody you love?!
