Joniphiles - Hello there. Les here. Weighing in with one of my three or four posts I'm planning during 2001 :-) Did you know that there are many opportunities to help with the Joni Mitchell Internet Community websites? For example, here at the JMDL site one can do lots of things: - Help type articles. I have scores of Joni articles that need to be typed up and converted to digital text. My 8 words per minute typing ability doesn't cut it and I never could get the hang of OCR software. :-) Not only would you be providing reading material for Joni fans across the globe, but you'd get a free copy of the article! Your contribution would be published here: http://www.jmdl.com/articles . Contact me if you are a willing power-typer. - Track down articles on Joni. Got any old magazines in the attic? Could be a Joni goldmine, you never know. If they don't appear here: http://www.jmdl.com/articles, send me a copy so the rest of the world can read it too. - Help do research on the Joni Glossary. The glossary project is a little-known extension of the Lyric database at the JMDL site. Check it out. Here's your chance to pick apart your favorite Joni lyric. http://www.jmdl.com/glossary . Follow direction on this page if you want to help. - Are you an artist? Musician? Then why not take advantage of the free advertising and get your name out there amongst Joni fans with your free page at JMDL? http://www.jmdl.com/artists . Collect your info and send it to me if interested. - Are you one of those 'High Fidelity' types that hangs out in used record stores? Bob Muller needs you to track down some Joni covers. http://www.jmdl.com/covers . The Bobster is waiting to hear from you. - Are you a guitarist that has transcribed one (or more) of Joni's songs? Get it published so the rest of us can play it! http://www.jmdl.com/guitar . Sue, Howard, Marian, and Mark are standing by. - Are you a serious glutton for punishment? Compile one of your favorite past JMDL threads and have it immortalized. http://www.jmdl.com/archives.cfm . I dare anybody to try this, right Lori? :-) - Are you a computer gadget geek? Help Ken in his never-ending quest for Joni-related screen-savers, wallpaper, midi files, icons, and more. http://www.jmdl.com/shinytoys . Help Ken polish his shiny toys! - Do you have no talent other than writing checks? Ashara is in the midst of a great fundraiser. Check it out: http://www.jmdl.com/prints.cfm And those are just some of the opportunities to help at JMDL.com. Hey Jim! What can we do to help over at JoniMitchell.com?? Operators are standing by, waiting for your list. Les NP: Cassandra Wilson "A Little Warm Death"
