I was bored at work this morning (it being the last day, and me having no
work to do) so I thought I'd do a search on a NZ search engine for Joni and
see what appeared:
1. Luke Hurley (NZ guitarist) cites Joni as an influence
2. Chris Lloyd Guitar Studio includes Joni in "artists covered" (don't think
there's an album, Bob!)
3. Jo Cotton cites Joni as favourite musician (she is a member of the group
TrueBliss - which was "constructed" a couple of years ago after holding
nation-wide auditions for girls between 17 and 23, similar to the Spice
Girls and Australia's Bardot)
4. Duncan Stuart (children's author - one of his books has been made into a
movie "The Whole of the Moon" and deals extremely well with two teenagers at
opposite ends of the social scale, both with cancer) cites Joni as a "person
I admire - unbelievable grace and talent"
5. From www.click2music.co.nz biography on Annie Lennox: "She was soon
lauded as one of the great female singer-songwriters, in the same class as
Carole King, k d lang and Joni Mitchell. That final comparison must be very
dear to Lennox, as she has oft cited Mitchell, probably our greatest living
English-language composer, as a significant influence on her own
songwriting."
Love that last one - not sure who the author is (it didn't say), but I like
how they think!
Merry Xmas (or just Happy Day for those with other beliefs!) again
Hell
