McNamara" Subject: RE: Joni wedding song Thanks for mentioning Shine, Jeff. That made me think of If as a great mother and son dance song, although because it was written by Rudyard Kipling, that may be tossed, too!! I guess ultimately I like the Circle Game for a mother son dance.

Thinking of good wedding songs by Joni ("everything comes and goes") Mitchell isn't easy. We are talking about a wedding, not a death march or a prison sentence, and it is not to be implied that a wedding is in any way similar to the other two. Since My Best to You is nixed for not being by Joni, I recommend Underneath the Streetlight (UTS), (trying to avoid "JRCTS" (Joni-related Carpel Tunnel Syndrome) to be edited somewhat and used as the actual wedding vows. Like the judge says "Do you swear to take this person to be your wife?" Your Honor, I swear to the blinking planes above I Do, I I swear on the disco spark dark I do, I swear on the bebop boys chasing the black bird, I do", etc. Then the song Shine (S) could be used for the mother son dance. It is a beautiful positve song about being happy despite all the crappy things in the world, like cell phones, lawyers, distracted drivers that don't know where they're going, doctors pills giving you brand new ills, sex selling everything, etc. And it give more attention to S, which is so underappreciated. Here in NE Ohio on a gorgeous early autumn day, I will take a long bike ride and am going to take pictures and send them to Joni and see if she feels like painting them. Jeff, still listening to Out in the Country. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 10:08:21 -0700 From: Jeff Clark Subject: Still Can't Believe It I Still Can't Believe it. I Still can't believe Joni is singing this song Out in the Country. I am glad that there might be others out there that enjoy this, otherwise it would be like one of the nerds on Big Bang Theory that discover some minutia about Star Trek with no one to share it with. Have a good day.
