I guess i missed it when Paul posted the first time. I guess I missed it when reading Sheila Weller's book too. It seems strange that I missed it because I thought I paid close attention to the JMDL. In the past year, I learned that Joni seems heavily influenced by Buffy St. Marie and Laura Allen. Too bad she didn't give the props when Hear Music asked about her influences for that compilation disc. Combining these influences, it makes sense that Lakota, and Cherokee Louise came from the same muse. I think I understand better why Joni feels strongly about the health of First Nation issues. Some long held questions got answered this year, for sure.

It is so severe that she cannot sing and she uses a wheelchair, when she's not using crutches. Thoughts and prayers go out to her.

It looks like he is still in those old dire straits while he is healing. Recently someone posted that old favorite graphic which said: "WWJD - What Would Joni Do?" and it really made me think... "Status Update By John van Tiel Just to let you all know that I am back on line again. Due to the consequences of my stroke ( work almost gone) I have no more money and consequently can't pay my bills. My Internet was cut off (as was my tvby the provider. I have been off-lne for 4 weeks except for a few visits to WiFi spots in town) so if I have not reacted to e-mails, please understand. Due yo a late payment of a work bill I was able to settle the score, but as I have not been able to get work by email or otherwise I am dreading next month (food?)... The good news: I had to be checked by a neurologist for my driving license and he thought I coud go on for a test and get my license back for 5 years. Trouble is, my car needs to be cheched first - it has not been used for 19 months... the money issue again!" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2013 14:08:02 -0700 From: Shari Eaton Subject: Re: JMDL Digest V2013 #1198 She also believes she is Cree. Some members of her family didn't or won't take on the association. On Aug 25, 2013, at 1:11 PM, Anita G wrote: > Jim, you speak so much for me!

She had long, flowing blond hair, slender good looks, and hippie clothes. I have a lasting memory of her playing her dulcimer on stage up on Mt. Tamalpais, surrounded by children. She had a great song, "Gather Together". She also did a long out-of-print LP with jazz flautist Paul Horn (Joni connection there) in which she played harp-an early prototype for the New Age genre to follow. She is pictured (and played on) Crosby's solo "If I Could Only Remember My Name". She also had a self-titled album with Capital (I think it was) and it was a pretty glossy affair, trying to make her commercial, but it was not to be. Still, it had her haunting and Joni-esque "Stairway" on it. Later she had a few indie CDs. Unfortunately taken by cancer several years ago.
