Joni Mitchell began playing the guitar like countless young musicians of the '60s, but she quickly turned onto a less-traveled path. "When I was learning to play guitar, I got Pete Seeger's How to Play Folk-Style Guitar," she recalled. "I went straight to the Cotten picking. Your thumb went from [imitates alternating bass sound] the sixth string, fifth string, sixth string, fifth string. . . I couldn't do that, so I ended up playing mostly the sixth string but banging it into the fifth string. So Elizabeth Cotten definitely is an influence; it's me not being able to play like her. If I could have I would have, but good thing I couldn't, because it came out original."

In this song Joni Mitchell, does some rather unique open chording with her guitar. This is something that not only made her unique; but she accomplished it in such a fine and accomplished degree that she's recognized (I believe) as one of, if not the top ranked open chord female guitarist in the world.

Joni Mitchell tells the story of "the Magdalene Laundries" located outside Dublin, Ireland and adds that other Irish towns had such laundry establishments where wayward women were sent to work. You didn't need to be a so deemed loose girl to a prostitute in those days to be considered wayward. You might not be married at say 25 years of age. Now if the men folk were eyeing you... that spelled your doom. For the Man's Lady's might get their feathers ruffled and have you sent to a place... a safer distance away from town.

The song tells a story of these "Magdeline Laundries" ... a laundry housing where "the Catholic Sisters of Charity" would send pregnant women of ill repute (women pregnant out of wedlock) to basically work as not much more than slaves. Often these woman died for lack of decent care. Thus they were buried without any fanfare..their bodies basically disposed of. When the convent property of some 11 acres was sold to developers sometime I assume in the 1970-80's (see Joni Mitchell and Newspaper) and subsequently bulldozed for a new construction project.

> 100 remains of females were uncovered in what was almost a mass grave site. As a result that discovery caused a huge scandal for the RC Church and that Diocese.

So this story from a newspaper... of this historical tragedy; inspired Joni Mitchell to write this song that's loosely based on this horrible and ongoing tragedy back in the 1800's.

Anyway that's my understanding of the foundation for this song. Check it out for yourself if you care to.

Joni Mitchell - The Magdalene Laundries (Live Toronto 1994)

" So how does Mitchell discover the tunings and fingerings that create these expansive harmonies? Here's how she described the process: "You're twiddling and you find the tuning. Now the left hand has to learn where the chords are, because it's a whole new ballpark, right? So you're groping around, looking for where the chords are, using very simple shapes. Put it in a tuning and you've got four chords immediately— open, barre five, barre seven, and your higher octave, like half fingering on the 12th. Then you've got to find where your minors are and where the interesting colors are - that's the exciting part.

"Sometimes I'll tune to some piece of music and find [an open tuning] that way, sometimes I just find one going from one to another, and sometimes I'll tune to the environment. Like 'The Magdalene Laundries' [from Turbulent Indigo; the tuning is B F# B E A E]: I tuned to the day in a certain place, taking the pitch of birdsongs and the general frequency sitting on a rock in that landscape."...

This post # 8215 above By: member mraynrand... Is an obvious "FLAME".

mraynand ... has been stalking me and FLAMING me for way to long now. I'm going to ensure I do what's necessary to get him banned from Packerrats.

I've never in eight years as a member here; had to deal with anyone as seriously sick and obtrusively compulsive, as this extremely arrogant, dangerously narcissistic and absolute bully as member mraynrand (aka Cleft Crusty). Mraynrand actually enjoys harming others he's that ill.

I havn't been a loyal member here for now nearly eight years and contributed as +vely as I have; to have to deal with such a low life, as the member mraynrand (aka Cleft Crusty here @Packerrats) seriously is. In a lifetime mraynrand is the sickest man I've ever encountered and I've come across some really disturbed people. Most of these creep you simply push away by what ever means necessary ...mraynrand is SICK...and obsessively compulsive and full of anger/resentment and enjoys attacking others. I've observed this idiot do this as a member for way to long.

I want both of these members names and profiles removed from Packerrats in short order. He forced it right here. mraynrand (aka Cleft Crusty) is 100% to blame for this fate

I've a serious issue with mraynrand that can 'only' be resolved if that member and Cleft Crust are both banned from posting @ Packerrats.

I've never asked for such a punishment "of any member here before" (and I include the member Scott Campbell) and in this case ... This action 'unfortunately' must be done.

mraynrand ... WIWWY

That's OK ... I'll make sure that.... I fix it for 'YOU'.

Bye bye... Time to really try put 'you' finally ... Out Of Your Misery.

On second thought...

No. That's about right.

Take it to the Meadow.

Woo hoo! I've passed up Scott Campbell!

So tell me Woody - you weren't offended when Howard insulted all of us:

"If this thread was a physical space it would be a coat closet with a dozen dirty naked people in it shouting at each other and singing old songs out of tune while rubbing their dirty nasty genitals on each other in an effort to be at the top of the naked pile."

but you were insulted when (after 456 consecutive posts by you), I changed it to:

"If this thread was a physical space it would be a coat closet with a dirty naked person in it shouting at himself and singing old songs out of tune while rubbing his dirty nasty genitals"

So, who is the narcissist? Think about it.

[mraynrand]

I'm going to ensure I do what's necessary to get him banned from Packerrats.

BTW, it's "insure." You may have it confused with breakfast:

That guy looks like Woody running to the Meadow.
