Well, I've told this story before - probably too many times - but since you asked.... The first time I met Joni was June 7 1978. I was at the Universal Amphitheatre in LA with my friend Lori Hitchen to see Bob Dylan. We had fairly good seats as I usually bought 6- or 7-show packages in those days. Just before the house lights went down I saw Joni walk in with Don Alias and sit down a few rows in front and to one side of us. Bob was good, but I was kinda distracted during the first set! Some months before I had been visiting my friends Rin and Prema in Santa Cruz, and they showed me a pair of Rin's pants. Around the hem of one leg, Prema had embroidered the geese heads off LOTC. Of course **I** had to have a pair of pants like that, so she embroidered one for me. I was wearing them to the concert that night. After the first set, we went over to where Joni and Don were sitting. I am (or was then) very shy, and very reluctant to force my company on anyone, but I plucked up the courage to say "Hi Joni, I thought you might like to see these" and showed her my pant leg. "Ooo!" she said and bent down to take a closer look, "Very nice!". I told her how much I enjoyed her music and beat a hasty retreat - other people had noticed her and a crowd was gathering. So, a brief meeting, but she showed no sign of annoyance at being approached. I still have the pants...wish I could fit in them! :) *************************************************** Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA FAR-West (Folk Alliance Region - West) tinkersown@ca.rr.com www.far-west.org ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2011 #472 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send to joni@smoe.org.
