I think she showed up for the "Joni's Jazz" tribute in NYC but didn't perform.> Give yourself some whacks with a wet noodle, Jimster...Chaka persuaded her to join her onstage for the encore which was "Help Me". An appropriate choice as Chaka fumbled the words and Joni tried to help her out. Still a fun performance - Annie Ross joined in as well.

She arranged for a Hispanic tree expert to do some pruning. She left a note on the kitchen counter for her husband that made him pause for a long time. It said simply: "Jesus is coming on Thursday."
