Close! It was Mary Chapin Carpenter.
(Walt: Oops, is my face red. I'm a fan of Shawn C's, but have heard of Mary
Cahpin Carpernter, and shouldn't've brain-farted on the name. Isn't there
also an artist with a name like Beth Nielsen Chapman, or am i totally insane?)

Would this have been the show recorded at the Gene Autry Museum? Did Joni
do a long, rambling, funny intro about playing war with the boys in her
neighborhood? She played "Love's Cries" at that show, an early (and IMO
opinion better) version of "Crazy Cries of Love." Perhaps that was the song
you don't recognize?)
(Walt: could possibly be. Memory is too fuzzy)

Arrgh! This darn tribute album has been "in the works" for YEARS now, and
Reprise can't seem to get off its duff. Latest news is that the disc will
be titled A Case of Joni, and here's what to expect:
PM Dawn, Night in the City
Annie Lennox, Ladies of the Canyon
Stevie Wonder, Woodstock
Janet Jackson, Beat of Black Wings
Duncan Sheik, Court and Spark
kd lang, Help Me
Sarah McLachlan, Blue
Elvis Costello, Edith and the Kingpin
Chaka Khan, Hejira
Etta James, Amelia
Elton John, Free Man In Paris
Bjork, Boho Dance
Lindsey Buckingham with Mick Fleetwood, Big Yellow Taxi
However, there was also a tantalizing news item about Steely Dan recording a
version of "Carey" for this CD. Imagine that!
(walt: WOW, what a list of talent. Hope it happens!!)

This one is news to me. It sort of sounds like "Painting with Words and
Music," but that was recorded in LA. She did a MuchMusic "Intimate and
Interactive" show shortly after the release of TI, but that show does not
include "Comes Love." I'm stumped.
(Walt) In the one I'm talking about, she even dances with a friend from the
audience (someone she knows, in fact, one of the three who sang "Why do fools
fall in love" with her earlier in the broadcast -- everyone in the audience
was a friend or an invitee by a friend. ) Also during the show in question,
Graham Nash gave her the award/trophy/thingy that he had accepted for her the
year before when she'd been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The
show was LISTED as being "Pianting with Word and Music" by KQED, but since
they got the year wrong, and I neer saw the beginning, I was doubtful.
Welcome to the list! You live in one of my favorite cities. I visited SF
this June while attending the American Library Association conference.
(W--Thank you, Deb, and thank you for such detailed answers to my questions!)
