Let's see, she would have been about 42 yrs. According to this interview it took her 6 yrs to decide Larry's job was more important then her health? 6 years...I don't think that was why they divorced. B Klein's website: > http://troubadourtribune.com/2012/03/20/larry-klein-talks-joni-mitchell [In 1985, Joni Mitchell and Larry Klein discovered she was pregnant. In her first trimester, however, Mitchell miscarried. Klein had lined up a recording date at The Wool Hall in Beckington-Near-Bath in Somerset, England that would be his first major production; recording an album with former Cars bassist Benjamin Orr (The Lace). Klein delayed leaving until Mitchell said it was okay for him to go. Mitchell apparently came to view the decision as her husband giving his job a higher priority than her health. In 1991, their marriage fell apart.] > Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2013 10:02:54 -0800 > From: anima_rising@yahoo.ca > Subject: Re: Subject: 20 things you didn't know > To: jlhommedieu@insight.rr.com; betsyblue82@gmail.com; joni@smoe.org > > I added a comment to the CBC site just now, as follows: > > > > 'Slide 14 "And > while Mitchell has never remarried, she did have romances with other > high-profile musicians,..." > Joni did, in fact, marry again.
