Pretty bad...but maybe set to music, his voice and guitar it will all come together. I hope it hits # 1 for the subject matter. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni-digest@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni-digest@smoe.org] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2012 2:00 AM To: joni-digest@smoe.org Subject: JMDL Digest V2012 #529 JMDL Digest Friday, April 20 2012 Volume 2012 : Number 529 ========== TOPICS and authors in this Digest: - -------- Re: Joni reference in new John Mayer song [Bob.Muller@Fluor.com] Re: Joni reference in new John Mayer song [Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Joni reference in new John Mayer song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JbK0OoOInQ Here's a live version on Youtube.

I suppose it could be, but it never occurred to me, because I'm kinda thick! It's funny because my daughter is a huge John Mayer fan and she plays his music so often and talks about him all the time that I get kind of tired of it. (I can assure you that I do NOT talk about Joni or anyone even one-tenth as much as Sarah does about John Mayer.) So I'm aware of his health issues (she wanted to go to his next concert, which has been cancelled due to his throat problem.) I thought it might be a reference to Jennifer Anniston (sp?) whom he was dating a while ago, but I also figure his songs may be about more than one person/thing at the same time. Despite my having heard so much John Mayer that I have to sometimes tell Sarah, "Play anything but John Mayer, but if given a choice between John Mayer and Maroon 5, it has to be John, because I absolutely detest Maroon 5," I will admit that I've heard songs from his new album and I think I like it. It's too soon to tell because, once the thing has been released and she has her CD, I'm sure we'll be hearing it non-stop, and she'll be singing along with every song, and Matthew will be trying to kill her. >________________________________ > From: Jamie Zubairi Home >To: Catherine McKay >Cc: Joni List >Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2012 4:30:17 AM >Subject: Re: Joni reference in new John Mayer song > >I love the fact that he quotes her manager "If you see her say hello,". >It's just so Joni. > >Much Joni > >Jamie Zoob > >On 19 April 2012 04:23, Catherine McKay wrote: > >> Hey, Joni-folks.
