This is really the first time I've posted. I don't really have one topic, but I'll probably drift. First of all, thanks to all involved in making this list work. I always enjoy reading it. I've met many kind new people, everyone (I think taking their cue from Bob) is so kind! Joni's music brings people of the world together. I think that it's she's a thread tying us all together. I'm pretty young, I'll be 18 on Tuesday. I've always been suprized at the diversity of her fan following. People of every age love her and adore her. With all the tributes lately and her friends and fellow celebrities that publicly have praised her, she really seems to speak to everyone. I came across Joni via my parents. They had many of her LP's and Ladies of the Canyon on CD. My mother actually walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of "Morning Morgantown" which I also play now at weddings (I'm a hopeful singer-songwriter and actor, who lists Joni as his main musical influence along with just about everyone else in the world). Speaking of that song, does anyone know the reason she's shyed away from playing the piano? I loved the early 70's solo piano stuff, with Blue and Ladies and For the Roses. I don't know if Joni can ever possibly understand what she's meant to all of us. And on a side note, with this Jackson/ Joni stuff, now that Jackson is connected to Bonnie Raitt romantically, who is a huge fan of Joni's and a long-time friend, do you think perhaps Jackson and Joni will reconcile their differences? ~Zach __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
