[Jeff Clark ] Re: Whats the last Joni song you played? [Michael Paz Subject: Whats the last Joni song you played? So whats the last Joni song that you played? Or heard. AT this point I don't really listen to cds at all, though I'm thinking of going back to listening to them, also reading books and occasionally watching a complete movie from start to finish. In fact I did that last night by watching Dirty Dancing for the first time ever. And Van Morrison's Astral Weeks is going to be the next cd I listen to. I never actually listened to it, though I owned it for a long time. That college guy that wrote a recent article about Joni got me thinking about how I need to hear AW. Anyway, usually I just go to youtube and hear whatever Joni song I need to hear. I still listen to Out in the Country, just cause I really like the song and her singing on it. I play The Only Joy in Town quite a bit. I just really like the song, the chords and the text to it. It creates visuals in my head and I feel like I'm in Rome. The last song I heard though was the demo version of Passion Play she did in Italy. It's good that she feels confident to be able to play a song that has barely been started, to an audience. I can see why an artist would have that need, just like a comedian needs to try out new material. I wonder when she got the idea for what the song would be about. Its something I would like to ask her sometime. There must be some moment or spark when one line of text comes to her mind, and then I can see how the rest of the song would start flowing together. People always ask her what comes first the music or the words and in that case clearly the music came first. Does anyone know if on the Geffen box set she put little notes down about the songs, like Neil Y did on Decade? I never looked at that Geffen box. Anyway, whats the last Joni song you played?Jeff ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:07:19 -0500 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: Whats the last Joni song you played? Offnight Backstreet day before yesterday with a new toy I have been playing with called a VoiceLive 3. It does vocal harmonies and effects and I was just playing with it. One of my faves to play. I did a version with my kids of this one with my eldest son on turntables playing like a perussion section. It was really cool. I hope to do that for my party coming up April 3.

The last one I heard was Songs To Aging Children Come, heard on XM deep tracks station. Been spinning the new Courtney Barnett and Kendrick Lamar this week, addicted to both. There were liner notes for that Geffen box, they may even be in Les' articles section.

I've was listening to Turbulent Indigo in the car earlier in the week (today was Court of the Crimson King!) but most mornings I try to play a couple of songs before I go to work ... Right now I'm in FFCGAC practicing for my next instructional video for I Don't Know Where I Stand ... Incredibly beautiful song ... I like what you said Jeff about Joni playing an embryonic version of Passion Play ... I heard an old cafe concert where Joni presented IDKWIS as a new song she just wrote while she was touring in The Carolinas. She warns the audience that there is a trumpet solo in the song. She said, "I mention this so when I get to that part you don't look at each other and say 'what is she doing?'" What she is doing is presenting a concerto for trumpet and guitar! Thanks for writing Jeff, the list has been quiet this week!
