 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVRCigmkbDk&feature=colike ◦ Joni Mitchell ~ I Had a King Live 
 ◦ Linda Hakes (nee: Barr) How sad for her!! How long were they married an did she ever get to spend time with her child? 

Pat Boland Well, Linda, they were still married when you and I first met them and through most of '67 at least. Interesting story there: I remember the afternoon when Joni was hanging at the Cellar, rehearsing and working on her writing... by way of ...explaining to me, the guy who booked the artists to play the weekends, why she had booked herself without Chuck. There is much emotional content in that song which really made sense but the most striking thing was regarding when she said to me that various venues around the circuit had started requesting Joni alone to play and so the end result was that at that point she and Chuck were already booked in advance at separate different clubs far in advance and wouldn't even be in the same city for the next year! If you know the song at all you already know where I'm heading with this... of all the lyrics in this most powerful song the most cryptic is "The king's on the road and the queen's in the grove till the end of the year" ...wow. As far as her daughter is concerned, the answer can probably be found in her interviews from around that time on JM.com. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #1302 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
