I had already talked to Julie Z. Webb on the phone so when I left home, I knew it was gonna be casual and fantastic. It was. To me, every year is a reunion of my internet buddies. It's worth it just to hang out and "talk music". In addition, there is music. That first JoniFest was the first time I heard Sherelle and many others. The music was a bonus at first but now.... now the music is the main attraction! We crossed the line somehow at PazFest. Suddenly JoniFests became a Music Event with a reunion thrown in for good measure. Last year's blowout, hosted by Ashara in the NorthEast corner of the USA, was the biggest yet. Read up: http://www.jmdl.com/jonifest/jf0209p1.cfm We had people from all over. Really, all over. Last year I finally got to meet Sue McNamara. Sue's a photographer, singer and guitarist. She can be heard shouting "You're a GENIUS!" on the audience recording of Joni's appearance at "A Day In the Garden". :) (Sorry Mac! I had to!) Anyway, in the wake of last year's JoniFest, Mac said, >>I'm going to cut to the chase and tell you that the performances on Saturday night were amazing.>> I said, >"Amazing", yes. It started out "amazing". Then, it became [flat-out] amazing. Then [weep-inducing] amazing. Then [gooseflesh-raising] amazing. Then [barn-burning] amazing. It was a gourmet meal of many courses. Yeah, I had a good time. That's a good start. A hearty "THANK YOU" you goes out to: * everyone who sang or played or hummed quietly in the corner. Of course, it's the music that brought most of us together so that's first, last, and always. Thanks Joan for bringing this disparate group together. * everyone who de-lurked this year to join JoniFest for the first time (Whitten! Mac!). * Sherelle Smith and Bryan Thomas. While I love all of the music, you two in particular were beyond great, to me. Beyond extraordinary. Beyond....well, you get the point. I've been bragging about you both on the list for a while, telling everyone to be ready to be amazed. Anyone who was in the Performance Space on Saturday night, August 24th, 2002, between 8 PM Eastern Time (GMT-5) and about 3 AM Eastern Time (Sunday morning) will not soon forget the evening. I've already used all of my superlatives. I'm sure that people who were not there will be completely unable to grasp how thoroughly transcendent that night was. While the rest of the weekend I was sleep-deprived, on Saturday night, I was coming off 12 hours of sleep. I was completely, profoundly stoned on the events, especially because I trumpeted you two and relished how everyone else was "getting it". In short, thanks. Now I know how the promoter Bill Graham felt. (BTW, smart alec that I am, after Bryan blew the roof off the dump this year, I pretended to console him, saying, "Don't worry about your performance too much, Bryan. Don't be too hard on yourself. You'll practice this year. You can always come back and "try_again_ next year!" Psych!) * To Jeff Bish and Kate Bennett. Not only did this classy couple watch over the schedule, but they introduced a brand new aspect to JoniFest- the song circle. I thought that surely by now all of the elements were in place but the song circle seems, already, like a permanent fixture. It's "us". The song circle smells like "us". * If the song circle "smells" like us, the Full Moon Central Resort "feels" like our American home. I hope the UK contingent finds a home that's as cool as this one. Meanwhile, you're always welcome in the New World.> This year promises to be a corker too.

Ok, I love Ashara and I don't want her to have to shell out a bunch of money for this year's fest and I certainly don't want this to be the end of Jonifest but a hop skip and a jump for some people might be nigh to impossible for others.

I had not followed developments in her's (or any others '80's sounds) for the years that dragged on before she issued a new album (namely DED), and I wouldn't have even known about it except that a friend of a friend had it; I taped her copy and listened to it on a walkman EVERY DAY on my express bus commute for a year, maybe longer, and it had me transfixed - mesmerized. Later on in the decade, I was equally unaware that CMIARS was released until I saw it in a cutout bin, and was immediately blown away. From that point on, I have always known about and purchased Joni's albums religiously. I agree that compared to her works that followed (and preceeded), DED doesn't hold up well, but as my only exposure to the '80's sound thing, I have to say that I dug it immensely at the time of it's release, and have enjoyed listening to it ocassionally since. "Impossible Dreamer" and "Lucky Girl" are good songs also.

Boy, recess was tough that day . . . t. mine was in 1st grade when i was beginning to read...the teacher had printed each child's name in big letters on the door of the classroom i remember saying out loud 'what kind of name is step hen?' i have no other recollection of that year other than that incident...i do remember grade K & 3rd grade onward but 1st & 2nd grade are a mystery... www.katebennett.com "Lyrically, it's a work of art overall.
