Hi, all, I've already revealed this to a couple of buds on the list, but I've decided to work on a "Pasticcio" of at least three Joni songs -- tentatively entitled "The Mood Swing Waltz" -- inspired by the fact that Turbulent Indigo (song) and Ray's Dad's Cadillac are both in 3-time (or at least can be thought to be in 3/4 time) and both contain references to the word blue -- but TI is dark and RDC is up and cheery. Another song with a reference to blueness is, of course, Blue. Now I've read the glossary entries in the jmdl for the word "blue", and I've looked in Wally B's site, but I can't seem to find a "search engine" that someone else mentioned recently that would (say) give me a list of songs that contain the word blue (if such exists); but, for that matter, there are so many synonyms for the word blue -- so: help!! --
In addition to Turbulent Indigo Ray's Dad's Cadillac Blue are there other songs in the repertoire that contain the word "blue" or any of its synonyms in the sense of color (indigo, azure cerulean, etc.) -- and better still if there's an element of 3-ness in the time sig, but if not (as in the case of "Blue" itself), I can arrange the song (or the part of it I'll use in the pastiche) in 3-time. This is quite a challenge to me -- I haven't done this kind of thing for well over 20 years -- so I appreciate any help of any kind -- and if it comes out all right, I'll perform it at J-fest 2002. God help us all. :-) thanks, walt
