<<it's kind of ridiculous because Joni's catalog, particularly her post "Court"
material, isn't a huge mover in most retail stores. Why do store
owners think "hissing" demos are going to fly off the shelves??? >>
I don't think it's the fact that it'll fly off the shelf, but the huge profit margin
that's the driver. Most of these boots get labeled as "imports" and get price tags of
$19.99 and up put on them.
Plus, Joni's catalog must still pretty well...my local store always has every one of
Joni's CD's on hand at any given time. If not for sales, I'll bet it's mainly out of
respect.
<< On another note, i have a HUGE question: Why isn't there a section for Joni
pics on the JMDL site???? I would love to see a chronology of Joni's
evolution in a photographic way!!! Wouldn't you?>>
I definitely would, and I think this is a great idea...but be forewarned, Les will put
YOU in charge of it! LOL!
Personally, I LOVE managing the covers database...I had NO idea what I was getting
myself into when I took it on, but it has been SUCH a great tool for learning more
about Joni's music, the artists who have covered her songs, and even internet research
in general.
We can be very proud of both JoniMitchell.com & jmdl.com and the resources they
provide us. I haven't seen any other music sites that even come close!
