Very interesting interview, and I was probably the last to learn that he wrote the CSN song "Our House" about his and Joni's house at the time! http://www.npr.org/2013/10/15/234683906/graham-nash-has-wild-tales-to-spare Enjoy, Kevin >________________________________ > From: JMDL Digest >To: joni-digest@smoe.org >Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 2:33 PM >Subject: JMDL Digest V2013 #1391 > > > >JMDL Digest Tuesday, October 15 2013 Volume 2013 : Number 1391 > > > >========== > >TOPICS and authors in this Digest: >-------- > Re: JMDL Digest V2013 #1383 [carmel rotem ] > Re: JMDL Digest V2013 #1383 [carmel rotem ] > re: Joni Guitar/strings ["Pat Boland" ] > Pazfest ["Cassy" ] > Re: Joni and the loss of her Martin D-28 ["Pat Boland" ] > Re: Columbus Day?
