Just kidding there. Don't know if he's a fan, but if not, I'll "convert" him." LOL! B But funny that you should mention that. B Just today, I listened to Shine all the way through and then halfway through again, B in honor of the encyclical that Pope Francis issued on the environment yesterday. B Once in a while, in a big blue moon, the Catholic Church does something right--and I speak as a lifelong Catholic. And I absolutely *love* that Kiri wanted to be Joni! B Bless her. B But you know, I've been listening to more Joni recently than I have in years, at a time when I've gotten more serious about singing myself. B And I realize as never before just how marvellous Joni's phrasing has always been. . although HOW it was marvellous has varied as her musical styles have changed over the years. Finally: B apparently, the Pope also loves Patti Smith, as he's invited her twice now to sing at the Vatican in Christmas concerts. B Who knew??
