Since I have been off the list for awhile, I don't know if this
has been discussed, but I found this listing on the pbs website
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/database/mitchell_j_homepage.html

Is this the same as what they're showing on Bravo Canada, or
something else entirely?

BTW the accompanying photo is the one from the cover of
Blue, but it is a black and white photo-I don't recall seeing that
before.

American Masters
Joni Mitchell
Airing May, 2003

The daughter of a grocery store manager and teacher in Canada,
Joni Mitchell became a painter, poet and musician, influenced by
Edith Piaf, Miles Davis and Bob Dylan. Uncompromising and
iconoclastic Mitchell has confounded expectations at every turn --
wildly innovative, her music explored and transcended very
personal and original acoustic guitar composition and evolved
into pop, jazz and avant-garde, prophetic of the multi-cultural
experimentation of the '80s and '90s. Fiercely independent, she
has resisted the whims of mainstream audiences and the
male-dominated recording industry.
Mitchell's records may never have sold as widely as some of her
contemporaries, but no one experimented so bravely, pushing the
boundaries of musical convention.

Watch this space in May 2003 for upcoming features, including
essays, film clips, filmmaker interview, and an interactive timeline.
