Thanks to Laura for posting the URL for that Joni pic! My issue arrived yesterday, and I enjoyed looking at while listening to a certain JMDL'er singing & playing the autoharp.
A couple of notes: 1. GREAT pic of Tom Waits at his studio piano inside, and a nice Ani pic & write-up too. 2. A second small pic of Joni & Emmylou Harris inside, as well as this text about Siquomb: " Poet, composer, painter - Joni Mitchell started out 37 years ago as a high soprano with an acoustic guitar. But, as she would be the first to tell you, she is no folksinger. A complex songwriter and imaginative guitarist, she has produced an infuential, remarkable body of work that includes 21 albums, among them collaborations with Wayne Shorter and Charles Mingus; she has also had a retrospective of her paintings in her native Saskatoon, won five Grammy awards, and received a 1997 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that she refused to attend. A chain-smoker who rails at the dimished standards of today's pop culture, Mitchell is a wicked mimic and says that reading Nietzsche makes her smile. Her next project: two albums of her own songs with a symphony orchestra. At our cover shoot, when a nearly breathless Maxwell told her how much her music meant to his life, she stared at him for a minute, smiled, and said "Well then, give me a hug." Fashion note: in the photo she wears a blouse by Roberto Cavalli and Jeans by The Gap. Bob NP: XTC, "Harvest Festival"
