I'm reminded of something Bob Muller wrote on Facebook one day. It has become one of my favorite quotations: "I prefer a level playing field to one full of pedestals." I'll always love Joni Mitchell for providing the soundtrack to my life, beginning with my chance purchase of Hejira just months into leaving home as a young adult (and never returning to live in that city again). I'm glad that I attended three of Joni's performances, and the best of those as far as I'm concerned was the BSN tour even though my seat was quite a distance from the stage. I used to harbor a strong desire to meet Joni (and I used to think my dream job would be to work as her executive assistant), but will it matter that I likely won't meet her? Would it have mattered if I'd never seen and heard her perform? Probably not. Who else has thoughts about whether attending a performance by Joni and/or meeting her mattered or would? Also regarding the "pedestals" quotation, I think that's how I view most things and why I think $1200 is a lot of money for a ticket to an event. I realize this event is a fundraiser but it just strikes me as elitist. Maybe I'm totally off base and it's just my blue collar roots showing. :-) Lori Caldwell, Idaho ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 17:34:01 +0000 From: c Karma Subject: re: Wayne Shorter concert with JONI !!!

Very fascinating! Here is a trailer of the movie Joni went to with the 8th grader where her second memory of the love of music was made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLurUoSBLiU The Story of Three Loves trailer ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2014 #1153 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendtojoni@smoe.org.
