transcript of an mp3 i just downloaded under the impression that it was an ani & joni duet...
"(various tuning sounds...lots of them) thank you...(mts - more tuning sounds)... a feather for me!! (??). see this does not happen art rock festivals, it simply doesnt. i never get feathers (mts)... these alternate tunings always seem like a good idea when im at home. (mts).... when they're written out in front of me....(mtswh - with harmonics)...i once saw joni mitchell play a show and she was just standing there for like ten minutes just going uuuhhh... uhh tryna, trying to tune, re tune her guitar into some ridiculous tuning, (laughs), i felt that it affirmed my whole life,,and i could, that was it,,, (mts),,, taking joy in other peoples struggles,, (laughs),,, (lmts - lots mts),, you know whats its funny, i um, i spent last august with uh mr robert e bob dylan. i was touring opening shows for him and ever since then, ive been, all these interviewers keep, asking me, what was it like touring with *god*, you know, and what words of wisdom did he bestow upon you, and, you have that glow, i can tell youve been with him,,, and you know theres all this, theres this,kind of like,,, religion of hyperbole that surrounds bob, and, you know, long live the church of bob,uh, i would never, you know, attempt heresy,in that area, um,speciually not in my line of work, but um hhhuu,,its funny because bob was never really, he was never really a deity for me, any where near the way, the scope, which joni,mitchell was ( audience cheer!!), and i, and i, you know, i think that respecting his work, and respecting,him, is a, is a good idea,and uh, i think hes done quite a few cool things, but, um its funny to me how it seems like, where i come from, in the states, the canon of bob, seems to be going deeper and richer and, more engrained in my culture, every day, and joni, seems to be sort of systematically ,,,, forgotten, and periodically condescended to by the media, in the states, its really ,,, its really strange to me ,,, not as strange as i wish it was,,to me hah hah,its actually kind of familiar, in a strange sort of a way,,but i think, i dont know, i think theres something,, theres something very elusive about uuhh, you know the sort of liberal, open, inclusive, revolutionary, folk singing, you know, change the world, sixties scene that wasnt quite, ready for a babe, uuhh, and its kind of its all, to listen to people talk these days, it seems like you know, all these voices have copme down, come down to one, in our collective memory, so anyway, id just like to put my vote in for joni, while, while im struggling with these tunings (mts),,,, ron np - maria muldaur - southland of the heart
