The two you don't have are "Shadows and Light" (late 70s) and "Refuge of the Roads" (early 80s). I guess I'd say both are highly recommended if you like those eras.

It is the Sandpiper In Florida and it is not the Hedonism type Jimmy Stewart or at least not that they are advertising. In order to get the $400 a person rate double occupancy we would need 20pp + so a total of ten rooms. I certainly hope more interest in Jonifest in March at the Full Moon. Ashara is going thru a lot of trouble as usual to make it great. For all you newbies keep your eyes on this list for more info on that. As far as the Club Med thing I was just taking the temp to see if there was interest for a future gathering. Carry on! Love Paz > Sounds great to me Mikey!

I am on a mission to listen to them all in order. While I am forced by others to listen to other cd's no one ever asks for Joni so it's cool. It's amazing to listen to her voice develop as well as her songwriting and the way other musicians adapt to her and get her. I am so ready for FTR and C&S and beyond. Just had a great meal with the fam. Mikey got back from soccer regionals in Arkansas and his team was apparently NOT what the baseball team did over several years cause he came back with his tail between his legs. Too bad I feel so bad for him. He really loves soccer and I think he will go further with it than baseball. Anyways, HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY to ALL! We are headed to the lake tomorrow for some water activities followed by more BBQ with friends.
