But I do understand that sometimes people need to turn their attention to other things in their lives. You will be missed and although we have never been frequent correspondents, I do feel a connection with you. I look forward to seeing you on Facebook. I would love to visit Australia but since I don't seem to have the wherewithal to attend Jonifests here in the US these days, it seems unlikely that I will ever get there. But if fortune smiles on me and I ever do get to Sydney, I would love to meet you. Take care, my friend.

After almost 20 years, I find its time to say farewell to you all. I have not been the most active member of the JMDL but Ive learned a lot since being involved. Ive found myself the sole representative from Australia at times but now I must move on. From the beginning with Wally and the flaming 90s to my assignment at the Joni Mitchell tribute concert at the Sydney Opera House to my failed attempt at OzFest. There have been many highlights and just as many lowlights. A few months back, I had a bit of a disaster - computer crashed along with my back up drive. I lost all of my graphic design work covering years, including all of my Joni Mitchell desktop wallpapers. I managed to get some .jpg versions but the original files are gone forever. So grateful however, for my one and only professional job thanks to Dave Blackburn. Although Ive never met any of you, Ive come to know some of you more than others. I will miss you all but, just cant devote the time to the list that I used to. If anyone needs to contact me, I will remain linked via FaceBook. I continue to love and appreciate the work of Joni Mitchell. Farewell my Joni friends. Mark in Sydney signing off for the last time.
