Marion, I agree, although I respect Robin's right to hold this opinion. However, if my memory of what this list is remains accurate, I'm wondering what the alternative would be: a daily, meticulously respectful Joni lovefest? I can't imagine that Joni would want that, either. In my recollection, the JMDL looks at--and deeply appreciates--Joni's life and career with all the passion, care, and analysis that she herself brought to her own work. I can't imagine that we could do anything less: we learned from the best. Cheers, Mary P.

Extremely close to Joni's version which a lot of people dig. Hopefully you branch out a bit too and make some of her tunes your own. Bob NP: Kimberly Ford, "Free Man In Paris" B From: kimberly To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2015 11:45 PM Subject: RE: JMDL Digest V2014 #2039 All, As I wait daily for news, like everyone else, I've also been waiting to announce the release of my new band and website that is completely inspired by Joni and her music. I touched in with Les the other day not knowing exactly what to do. What had started out as a wonderful study and emersion into Joni's songs quickly turned into a painful vigil with the news of her illness. My response from Les and hopefully from you all too is that I should just "go for it," and press on with this powerful music and tribute. "Celebration of Joni Mitchell" is barely a year in the making and plays music from every decade. If any of you are in the areas where we're playing I hope that you stop in and say hi! We'll be in Galway, Ireland May 8th, then back in the U.S on the West Coast after that. Here we are; Celebration Of Joni Mitchell. We're based in Santa Barbara & Ventura, California. www.celebrationofjonimitchell.com Enjoy!

For those who don't know me, I was one of the list's old-timers from back in the mid-90's, but got caught up in life and technical difficulties a few years back.B I've been an admirer of Joni's music since I first heard parts of "Court & Spark" at 15 in high school study hall, and feel privileged to have heard her in concert four times (one of which was that wonderful tour of 1979!).B The JMDL was the first online list I ever joined, and I enjoyed meeting so many friends of spirit. For those who do know me, I'm sorry for the long absence.B The big news is that I lost my job a few years back due to legislative changes that effectively repealed the state statute on which my legal career had been based.B I went back to school and am now considering several new options, all of them pretty interesting! It's been great to see the old names, and to get to know the people behind the new ones. As someone from the old days used to sign off (Jamie Z., are you still here??): "Much Joni."

Some are taking life a bit seriously. I understand because I do that too. But we need to realize that about 99.9% of the time we do this, it is because of other things in our life that are causing us grief and not usually an email discussion.
