Thank you so much for the trivia, Bob! This is a good start and a big help. I started trying to write some trivia and I could only remember something about a rain king for BSN and the thing about the inspiration for Man From Mars being one of Joni's cats and that Joni didn't go to Woodstock. Trivia really isn't my forte! I'm sure the band will be very appreciative for this and any other bits of trivia that anyone here can think of.
> I would encourage the band to explore > http://www.jonimitchell.com > and > http://www.jmdl.com > I'm sure they can come up with REAMS > of info about these songs. This is of course really excellent advice! I'm not sure what their computer situation is or if they will have time to do a lot of research before they begin their scheduled concerts, though, and I think they were hoping to save some time by asking me (and also effort, because they are probably most comfortable reading things in German and probably find it difficult and tiring to search through all the available English info for the specific trivia gems). Since I'm not that great at trivia and I know there are folks on the list like you who remember all the little bits and pieces, I thought I would try asking on the band's behalf. So, thanks to you Bob, we've now got a few bits and pieces for the songs: Both Sides Now This Flight Tonight Woodstock All I Want Big Yellow Taxi Free Man In Paris Man From Mars How Do You Stop Can anyone add to the above, or supply some info for these: Raised On Robbery Amelia Black Crow Coyote Dreamland In France They Kiss On Main Street > Marian, thanks for this info...as you can > guess I'm anxious for them to record! :~) > You should be a part of this group as you're > a master of Joni's material. It would be kind of hard to be in the band because they live far away from Vienna, but of course I would love being in a band with people who love Joni's music as much as I do. Maybe I should try to start such a band in Vienna! In any case, I hope I will be able to go to the show at Lafnitz. If I do go I might be able to sing one or two songs as a guest, and I will take pictures and send a report to the list. Thanks again, Bob. Marian Vienna
