[Shadows and light Well, the event description does say: "An evening celebrating the artistic range of Joni Mitchell with the artist herself, who will introduce a screening of The Fiddle and the Drum ." I understand that she COULD pull a no-show but it sure appears that it's highly likely. One wouldn't just say that without some confirmation, especially where Joni is concerned.

This thread had me thinking of another favorite Joni vocal collaboration with Jimmy Webb around the same time on his 1972 Letters album. Joni sang backup vocals on Similie. It is hard to find a recording out there but this might work http://www.last.fm/music/Jimmy+Webb/_/Simile Jimmy write of Joni's influence on him and their friendship in his book Tunesmith. Also there is this from LINER NOTES FOR JIMMY WEBB'S LETTERS by Richie Unterberger: "Letters was a more sedate, piano-oriented album than its predecessors, and soaked in the influence of Webb's peer and eventual close friend Joni Mitchell. "I was tremendously influenced by Joni Mitchell," he admitted to Peter Doggett of Record Collector in 1994. "She was a good friend, and I was fortunate enough to be around her when she was working on For the Roses and Court and Spark. We were just part of each other's lives for a while. I definitely envied that part of her work -- the idea that this is just a conversation you're listening in on. It can still be poetry, but not self-conscious or forced poetry. I got extremely under her spell as a writer -- I still am. I used to go to the studio and listen to her record, sit quietly in the back of the control room. After the Beatles, Joni was the next big blip on my radar screen, in terms of, 'Hey, pay attention: this girl is doing something a little bit different.'" Mitchell's longtime engineer Henry Lewy also did some engineering work for Letters as well. Joni's influence is most apparent on one of the record's stronger cuts, "Simile," inspired by an incident at the Los Angeles Troubadour club. Webb had sent her roses and a letter after seeing her perform there early in her career, but the letter wasn't found by Mitchell until a few years later, as alluded to in the song's opening verse."
