Hello people!
I'm an old lister to some of you, and a new one to probably a lot of you. I
stopped being a lister about a year or so ago, but I've never stopped
listening to Joni's music. She's still my primary source of listening
material. I'm going to play 1 or 2 of her songs (The Three Great Stimulants,
You Turn Me On...) in a couple weeks at a community coffee house. I play
guitar (not professionally).
Earlier this evening, I was listening to a piece I created about a year ago
on my computer with a program called, Mixman. It's a funky, "clubby"
sounding piece of music (which is a far stretch from my taste in music) with
phrases like; "Look! It's Joni Mitchell", and "Who's that?" What started as
a weekend afternoon experiment, became a humouresque poke at the contrast
between us Joni listeners, and those who respond to her name with, "Oh ya...
she did that `paved paradise' song." :-) I guess you'd have to hear the
piece, but I think most Joni fans would appreciate the humour. Maybe one day
I'll be able to put it on the web for others to hear.
Looking forward to catching all the Joni news and fanfare.
Cheers!
