The recordings from these five dates end up as the material for the Miles Of Aisles album, released 3 months later. 1979: Joni performs the first of two nights at Alpine Valley in East Troy, Wisconsin. Future JMDLer Steve Polifka was there: "It was a Thursday evening with NO RAIN in sight... except for the fog from funny cigs that was wafting too and fro o'er the audience... ;-) The one thing I did notice and remember distinctly, after all these years, was that during the solo on Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, she sat on a plastic chair in the back of the stage, and buried her head in her hands - looking road weary or performance tired, I know not which. Her performance was great, however. And the other thing was Brecker missing his little solo during Hejira - "Listen..."

That article is a big, big clue to figuring out Joni's major themes in The Hissing of Summer Lawns. I think that magazines don't run wierd articles like that anymore because there's nothing "old", primitive anymore. It's all been gobbled up, as they discussed 27 years ago in that National Geographic. >>>>>> I happened to flick through an old National Geographic. It's Vol. 147, No.2, from February 1975. There's a fascinating - and deeply strange - pair of articles and accompanying pics by one W. Jesco von Puttkamer (crazy name, crazy guy!) concerning two "stone age" Brazilian Indian tribes, the Kreen-Akarores and their apparent old enemies, the Txukahameis. And, on pages 272-273 is....yep...the original photograph that a certain Ms Mitchell must have traced for use on the collage/illustration on the HOSL cover of the Txukahameis Indians (plus, second from right, a stripe-faced visiting Suya Indian) hauling a giant Anaconda out of the water. Man....why don't magazines run features that strange anymore?

I've been trapped under boxes (the type for moving) for weeks now and am beginning to see the Jonifest light! I was still wavering on my set here and thought I'd ask for some assistance. As far as Joni songs go, I was interested in maybe playing Carey again, but only if I have some Careyettes! My other option is Coyote, also some singing assistance would be helpful ;-) I was definitely going to play it's a hard life by Nancy Griffith. I also wanted to do a sing along I was thinking of either peace Train or Hide Your Love Away by the Beatles or I am totally open to suggestions. HELP! lol... Well back to the boxes for now...can't wait to see everyone!

David, this is great to hear from you! I believe the same thing, but I hear so many covers & tributes my objectivity is probably long gone. To the list: I've already had a good handful of these spoken for, but I still have plenty to go around. This CD is NOT available in the US, so if you want one (for what I paid for it - $10.50 + $2 shipping) let me know. I CAN say that once this batch is gone I don't intend on re-stocking, and if you want one you'll have to pay about twice as much once you have it shipped from Germany.

Nobody should regard those con requests as a genuine business. In Nigeria most youths have refused going to school to study and instead spend great time on the net sending such trash to unsuspecting net users. Don't waste your time by responding to such letters. Ugu Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 14:59:10 -0600 From: Les Irvin Subject: "Muslims stick up Washington" mystery solved? Joniphiles - I received an offlist message today from Evelyn Williams, who had a contribution for the JMIC Glossary Project (http://www.jmdl.com/glossary). She seems to have finally cleared up the "muslims stick up Washington" line from "Otis and Marlena". The DJRD album was released in December of 1977 and in the previous March of that year twelve Hanafi Muslims armed with shotguns and machetes stormed the District Building in Washington DC. The crisis lasted two days and resulted in one dead and dozens injured. I think Evelyn has solved the mystery of that line... thanks Evelyn! Here's a short article from the Washington Post that ran 25 years to the day later: - ----------------- 25th Anniversary of Terror; March 9, 2002 It came with the suddenness of September 11: a well-coordinated terrorist attack in the heart of the nation's capital, 25 years ago today. Twelve gunmen, Hanafi Muslims heavily armed with shotguns and machetes, storming into the then District Building on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, the offices of B'nai B'rith on Rhode Island Avenue NW and the Islamic Center on Massachusetts Avenue NW. Before the terrorist assault was brought to an end two days later, Maurice Williams, a 24-year-old reporter for WHUR-FM radio, had been shot dead, and dozens more had been injured, including three wounded by gunshots. Marion Barry, then a D.C. Council member, was among the injured. All told, in a 39-hour terrorist siege in Washington, 149 innocent people had been taken hostage. We forget the lesson of March 9, 1977, at our peril. Like the victims of 9-11, the victims of the violent March 9 takeover had no relation to the motives behind the assault. The Hanafi Muslims, an orthodox Islamic group, killed and took hostages in 1977 to force the government to turn over five Black Muslims convicted of murdering seven members of a Hanafi member's family four years earlier. The Hanafi Muslims also killed and maimed to stop the showing in America of the movie "Mohammad, Messenger of God" on the grounds that it was sacrilegious. Fifteen hostages at the District Building, more than 120 hostages at the B'nai B'rith building and a dozen hostages at the Islamic Center had absolutely nothing to do with the jailed Black Muslims or the showing of "Mohammad, Messenger of God." They were innocent targets of opportunity -- a condition not exclusive, but certainly common, to people living and working in the nation's capital. The March 9 terror changed the way we live in this city well before that horror-filled September day came along. Because of the Hanafi takeover, armed guards and metal detectors were positioned where they had never stood before. Closed-circuit television cameras, identification badges and concrete barriers are now permanent features of our local scenery. Terrorism also permanently changed the lives of its victims. Bob Pierce went to work at the District Building 25 years ago as a legal intern for a council member. The day ended with him paralyzed for life, victim of a shotgun blast to the back as he lay with his face buried in the carpet. The deep rage, the mindless, violent assault on the innocents -- all that this city saw then and last September, and in numerous bloody international incidents in between -- are solemn reminders of the scourge that can strike a power center such as Washington at any time. "I say throughout this country it can get worse and there's nothing nobody can do about it," said Hamaas Abdul Khaalis, the Hanafi group's leader in one of his apocalyptic warnings and demands in 1977. Evil forces of that day were defeated. But the lesson taught 25 years ago, which bears repeating today, is that leaders in Washington, as they build for the future, must -- in a world where terrorism seeks its day -- do no less than always prepare for the worst. - ----------------------- Les, packing for JoniFest. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 13:58:45 -0700 From: Randy Remote Subject: Re: Joni's album commitment Brenda wrote: > It's called the Recording Artists Coalition and Joni was not a > founding member.

VERY NICE. i don't listen to many covers but these folks have done a great job. the music is accessible without being lounge lizard. ACOY and MIDWAY have a George Winston at his best sound. the most amazing treatment i've heard is NRH - they've given it a gospel feel if you can imagine and it works. its a treat to hear Rays Dad and Cotton Ave. i actually think it would serve as a good introduction to joni's music for those who may be put off by the sound, or voice, or preconceived notions of the composer. i am thrilled to have it, its quite lovely. peace, david ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 20:18:51 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Live, Wembley, 1983 **Just new to the list. Hope I'm not treading on peoples toes.** Greetings, Arthur! No, you're not treading on any toes at all, that FM broadcast from Wembley '83 was transferred to CD a while back and traded around. It's good stuff...I like the '83 tour recordings a lot but I think I'm in the minority. That tape of course is just a portion of the concert, which ran close to 2 hours. Joni always gives a good show in London. So tell us more about yourself...how long a fan? How many times you've seen her in concert, etc. Bob NP: Elvis Costello, "When I Was Cruel No.2" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 17:42:45 -0700 From: "Bree Mcdonough" Subject: Re: Places To Come From, Places To Go >most amazing treatment i've heard is NRH - they've given it a gospel feel >if >you can imagine and it works. its a treat to hear Rays Dad and Cotton Ave. >i actually think it would serve as a good introduction to joni's music for >those who may be put off by the sound, or voice..... Mr. Covers is putting one on hold for me. Very enthused after reading your post. I can't wait to hear NRH....it being one of my favorite Joni tunes. Gospel feel....can't imagine?

I went to Tower today and picked up along with the new Yes box set (cause I could not get to Texas to see the houston, Austin, Dallas shows). Also Robert Plant, James Taylor and a few others. I listened to it all afternoon and I like it a lot. I have a REAL special place in my heart for Songs for beginners though and always will. I woke up today to James Taylor on the Today show and was in that mood all day till I went to Tower and got a BIG fix.
