Ji friends fans and loved ones near and far

mode just now. here i am to let you know about a show that i am excited about, being a huge joni fan.... (we rehearsed at the house concert house today and it felt quite good, so i thought i'd better not pass up the opportunity to invite you out.)
here goes!
Strings Attached Presents "The Music of Joni Mitchell"
Three performances, July 27-29, in Austin and Marble Falls
Visit www.stringsattached.org for information and tickets, more details below
This Strings Attached show has been too long in coming. With a world full of people (including those of us in Strings Attached) who can
mark some of the major events in their lives by Joni Mitchells discography, we couldn't resist the temptation any longer, and we hope you'll join us for this career retrospective—from the mid 60s, through Hejira and beyond.
While Joni Mitchell never held claim to the #1 spot on the Billboard charts (her highest was #7 – can you name it? See the * at bottom for the answer!), we suspect you have a place in your hearts for all the words to many of the songs youll hear, including…
Early Hits: Circle Game, Chelsea Morning
From "Court & Spark": Free Man in Paris, Peoples Parties
From "Blue": All I Want, This Flight Tonight, Carey
From "Hejira": Coyote, Amelia, Strange Boy, Hejira
… and many more. We even promise you a breathtaking early Joni Mitchell song which was never committed to vinyl—a "first" for your ears, and were honored to bring it to you.
As with all Strings Attached shows, you can expect to be comforted by the familiar—and challenged by the twist. For this show, weve chosen four women to sing the lyrics of Joni Mitchell, and each one gives different meaning to the idea of "vocal power." Joining us to
sing these songs will be Suzanna Choffel, Libby Kirkpatrick, Jean Synodinos and Molly Venter. Visit their websites to form your own
impressions of how these unique singer-songwriters will deliver the lyrics you love—then come and be surprised.
In addition to our "normal" Strings Attached performance in Austin (July 27th at St. Michaels), we are privileged to be offering this show in a blissfully intimate house concert performance on Saturday, July 28th in Westlake.

And for a Joni Mitchell "primer" we recommend watching the Joni videos
on You Tube, revisiting your favorite (or new!) Joni songs from her
catalog on iTunes or stopping by her extraordinary official website.
* The answer? Jonis highest charting song was Help Me off of "Court
and Spark" which hit #7 on the Billboard charts.
