Hey Dan! Is this Dan of registrar baseball fame? Scott told me you were thinking of doing this and I expected to see you on the list soon. This is the best place to get info about Joni. And what a great topic for a dissertation!
Joni has actually said some things in interviews about being her own producer. From what I can tell, it was fairly unprecedented at the time. Part of the reason she had David Crosby work with her on STAS was because he let her do it her way. I can remember reading a bunch of quotes about it in that bad Joni Mitchell biography "Both Sides Now". Lots of Joni quotes there about everything. Also on the JMDL website there are articles and interviews galore. But I'm sure you'll hear plenty from everyone around here : ) tanya
