I predicted that the Saints would end up against the COlts and I would not have wanted it any other way cause if the Colts had won it still would have been a victory for New Orleans cause Peyton is our own as well. But it was not too be. The energy was so strong for the Saints and the coach had a game plan from hell and the team was so awesome. MVP should have been "THE TEAM" cause they ALL stepped up to the plate. Really Jim THE Colts???? Ok thanks for the congrats!!!

Like many of us who seem to keep up on Facebook I, too, paid my respects to him on there. But, seeing Catherine's post on here where Bob supported me through my attempt (successful for some 3 years) to leave cigarettes out of my life reminded me of some of the wonderful (and sadly lost) posts he and I had on the list. It also brought home to me that I knew him because of the list and, like a naughty child who has misbehaved I come to say sorry for not having come to the altar of all things Smurphy - the JMDL.... Being a digest reader - oh I do read them when I can - I did not save the correspondence he and I shared over the 6 years I knew him. We were not daily correspondents but I do treasure the off list mails I have saved. Little comments about daily life through the eyes of someone who had the wickedest wit I have ever parried with. I would love to read again - if anyone knows how to find them - a to and fro that Muller, Bob and I had about "Do it Yourself". It was extremely silly and included a stupid section on the use of "handy hands". If anyone can find the archive of these I would love the link. If not I shall just have to hold them to memory and sigh a bit. He was immensely bullish about his illness and we chatted on the phone a number of times when he was in Boston General and it was good to hear him laugh. I do miss his dry sarcasm and realistic view on things... I like to think of Bob holding court, wherever it is that the fun people end up when their bodies have had enough, and slaying the pompous, then self promoting and ignorant with a thick layer of humour and sardonic "back atcha" witticisms. He was an original soul, a one off, they broke the mould, you dont get many of those for a gazillion pounds ( 1.76 gazillion $US), he was a chip off no-one's block, nor was he a plagiarist or a wanna be.. He was as he was and that was just about the best you could wish for in a humourist/writer/raconteur and friend. Love you Bob Murphy Queen Lulu in England xxxxxxx ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2010 14:22:07 -0500 From: Marianne Rizzo Subject: butterflies, njc sounds great, love Dear Ones, and Marianne in particular: A friend of mine is collecting handmade paper butterflies to send to the Holocaust Museum Houston which is preparing an exhibit of 1.5 million decorated butterflies to represent the number of children who perished in the Holocaust.

One of the smarter decisions I ever made was flying to Boston so I could road trip to the Full Moon Jonifest with him. He was a gracious host, funny and endlessly creative in so many ways.

Sure, what size is he? I've been thinking about designing a sweater, kinda like the tragedy/comedy masks with Blue Joni on one side and C&S Joni on the other. I always thought of that like laughing and crying is the same release. It may take me 10 years, would that be OK (Kinda like the amount of time it's taking me to read his novel "I Know This Much Is True"). I'm ashamed to say that I really wanted to write a post about the 10th anniversary of Wally Breese's passing on February 4th and because I get stuck in my own head most of the time the date passed me by. I feel like I would have never re-discovered Joni, tackled her alternate tunings or connected with the wonderful JMDL community if it wasn't for Wally Breese. God Bless him ... four days late.

GO FOR IT! I never did learn to knit. Oh, I tried, but I could never figure it out and now, between really crappy eyesight and carpal tunnel, I doubt I'd be able to manage. If I could, I'd have to do what I did with crochet, when I could do that - use very large needles/hooks and chunky yarn; pick an extremely easy pattern; take ten years to do it. Thanks for mentioning Wally Breese. Isn't it ironic that he and Smurf should die around the same time of year? Knowing Wally has been gone ten years is a reminder of how long I've probably been on this list. Not as long as some of you, but I definitely joined when Wally was still with us. God bless him, indeed, and all of the faithful Joni departed. We're lucky to have known them. ________________________________ From: Susan Tierney McNamara To: "joni@smoe.org" ; "loveuconn@hotmail.com" Sent: Mon, February 8, 2010 2:12:09 PM Subject: RE: Smurf, Wally Lamb & Joni Patti said: (Sue Tierney, can you knit him a sweater from the JMDL?)

I can't believe it's been 10 yrs since Wally's passing. I can still remember talking to him on the phone for the first time, when he wanted Pearl, Mingus & I to cover the Atlanta concert in '98. He sure did a lot for Jonimitchell.com, & the JMDL, along with Jim Johanson, and Les of course. Oh Kakki, I still have the business card Smurf gave me too with the coffee stain. Murphycopy! You're right Lieve, even though we've been posting so much about Smurf on FB, he would have wanted to be remembered on the JMDL. Now knit that sweater Sue!

I still have Joni on the Rosie O'Donnell show on 4/10/2000, a few months after "Both Sides Now" was released. She sings "Both Sides Now" and "Answer Me, My Love", and talks with Rosie. I taped this from my TV. I'm hoping someone from "The Staff" can transfer this to the Joni library; I won't ask for shipping cost. The Staff, where are you? It would be a shame to discard this tape in the recycle bin and then have someone realize it could have gone into the Joni video library. Hopefully it's available elsewhere. On 1/16 it's gone.

And that was because of Wally's Joni Mitchell site. I can remember sitting at Travis's Acer desktop with a dial-up modem and 8 MB of memory, waiting for what seemed like forever for the *only* Joni Mitchell site on the internet to download. It was wonderful, when everything finally did appear on that monitor to see the love put into the site and the meticulous care that Wally put into trying to make it as complete an archive of Joni-related information that he possibly could. And then there was the 'Cafi' I think it was called? I could actually connect with other people who loved the music of Joni Mitchell as much as I did (and do)! Like Sue! It was like a miracle and it was Wally Breese that made it possible. I had the great honor of meeting Wally once at the Gorge when Joni appeared there with Dylan and Van Morrison in 1998. Wally was invited to go on that tour and I believe it was at the Gorge that Brian Blade officially introduced Wally to Joni. I may have that mixed up so somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. I also got to meet Jim Johansen in San Francisco the evening of the 'Both Sides Now' concert in Concord, courtesy of Leslie Mixon. I wonder what she's up to these days? > I feel like I would have never re-discovered Joni, tackled her alternate > tunings or connected with the wonderful JMDL community if it wasn't for > Wally Breese. God Bless him ... four days late. Feb 4 2000. Amen to that, Sister Sue. As for Smurf, there is nothing I could possibly add to everything that has been said about him already. We had a few off-list exchanges, always pleasurable. His wit and sheer audacity at times were amazing things to experience. I never got to meet him, though, and I truly regret that. He gave me many a belly laugh just from reading what he had to say in his posts. Sometimes I cannot figure out why things happen. Some of it just doesn't make sense. The fact that these 2 beautiful humans are no longer on this earth is just absurd. I'm not religious but, as I've said before, I think there is some kind of design to the Universe. But sometimes things happen that don't make sense to me at all. I will never understand why my beloved Edward was taken from me when he was. But maybe the reason for it has little or nothing to do with me even though it shattered my life. That anniversary is coming up on the 11th. (17 years - doesn't seem possible and yet there it is) February sucks, as far as I'm concerned. As a footnote, Joni gave birth to Kilauren in February and then lost her for a long, long time. It must have been a rough month for her too for, oh, about 30 years. But it must be a happier month for Joni now. She can wish her daughter Happy Birthday and feel some joy that Kilauren came into the world. So there may yet be some hope for the 2nd month of the year. Oh, let your little light shine.....

Jay Leno had Emma Roberts on, talking about her latest film, "Valentine's Day." He asked her how she spent her Valentine's Day and she said that she has just turned 19 (today, I believe), so she never had a date or a boyfriend on Valentine's Day, but she would spend it at home listening to Joni Mitchell.
