After hearing of Joni's health issue, I was hoping she could hear my story about her and how our paths briefly crossed which thrilled me. I hope she reads this! Joni Mitchell has always been my favorite musician, and she is the only musician who I own every CD ever recorded. I love her early works and her later works equally. I have been listening since the early 70's through high school and college and continuing on to now. She has had a huge part in my life, and many of her songs have deep meaning to me. I'm pretty sure it was 1979, I was in college in Seattle, and heard she was performing in Vancouver BC, not far from Seattle, with Jaco Pastorius and Pat Metheny! My rag-tag bunch of fellow college students were thrilledB and scraped up enough money to buy tickets, drive up in the old beater station wagon, and get a cheap hotel room. So we're just reaching downtown Vancouver in our beater station wagon and pull up to a stop light. Next to us pulls up a black limousine. I joked that it would be funny if Joni was in there. And sure enough, as the limousine pulled to a stop there was Joni, right next to us at the stoplight!! We were all shocked and elated and pulled out our concert tickets and showed them to her through the window with lots of waving and excitement. She was so nice and waved back and looked really happy. We were just all so thrilled to see her so close up. I'll never forget that. The concert that night was one of the best I've ever heard or seen. Be well Joni! And thanks for the thrills!

Simply because they know how much her music has meant to me. Honestly, I just feel people are so amazing. I may be an old hippy, but so much love in the air.
