Jim does an excellent job in telling the tale. The group of us that were there were beside ourselves afterward...taking it all in...shaking our heads in disbelief .. 'did this really happen'... that kind of thing. It was wonderful to see how much Joni is loved, admired, adored. That was obvious on this evening filled with magic and surprises of the Joni kind. For all the negative things that have been said about Joni, it is my hope that she was able to take in all of the love everyone felt for her in those precious moments. Bree..you mentioned that you saw Joni in 75? Tell us about that. Where? What tour? What was the venue? Small.. or large? I would love to hear your Joni stories. Thank you for your kind words about honey boi Brei and I. 'This' began because of our deep love for Joni and we grew from there. We have so much support from our Joni family which helps so much. We are forever grateful for the kindness of everyone who surrounds us here. Especially in challenging times. and 'this' is a good thing. take care Bree, and thanks for the generosity of your heart. love, Mags np: one of the most gorgeous pieces of music in our collection: The Lark Ascending Academy of St. Martin in the fields Neville Marriner Iona Brown solo violin - --- Bree Mcdonough wrote: > Thanks Mags, for your words......I'm counting the days until her next > > release.

(In my best Bogie voice which is pretty bad) Just bought Casablanca on DVD;don't you just love the last seen at the airport? (where are all the noble men and noble women for that matter? On the "list" , of course!!} A couple of questions for you:Doesn't California have a really good chocolate(candy) CO.? I can't recall the name of the company. Also, when I use to work out there and visit.... VERY FEW of the people I ran into or knew were natives. Are you transplanted or a native? I love California, but it never felt like home to me.

And it was in these parts that I met very few natives. Now when I stayed up north;Salinas,Monterey,Carmel.......there seemed to be less transplanted people. ?? Of all the gin joints in this world you had to walk into mine...............

I know this is really bad timing for people to send money for both the Jonifest deposit and the video tapes, so if you would like the video tapes, but want to send money in January, please just send an e-mail letting me know. Or, if you need more time than that, let's work something out. I need to send the Masters out to be dubbed, and I would like to do that early January. So, e-mail me privately so I can know what kind of numbers we have, and we'll work out the money thing individually. Maggie was over the other night and we watched part of the compilation tape. Maybe she will e-mail everyone and let you know what she thought.

Carey" Subject: CMIAR Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 22:46:11 -0800 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: cmiars well then, for all the newbies who may not have been through this debate, i MUST speak up for CMIARS! this is the record that returned me to join...after my wandering ways for a few years ...so i really like it for that reason.. Don't know what the thread of the debate has been, but CMIAR is probably my favorite JM album, these days, at least. I carried it a couple of times while hiking the Appalachian Trail - would lie in the open at night and stare up through the trees, with it playing on the headphones. Magical. Played "Cool Water" for my brother one morning as we were making breakfast in camp. Blew him away...

Yes, Ashara's very favorite - SEE'S CANDIES - my family used to ship boxes of them around the country to friends and family. My grandmother and aunts all make incredible homemade candy and I have a great-uncle who has a candy factory in Pennsylvania - my mother begs for their candies every Christmas and sends them the SEE's ;-) >Also, when I use to work out there and visit.... VERY FEW of the people I ran into or knew were natives. Are you >transplanted or a native? I am one of the only natives I know, born in Santa Monica. I think SoCal historically has had more transplants because of the many job industries that sprang up here (plus a lot were drawn to the sun, surf and tinseltown allure ;-) Thanks to Mark for looking up the lines in the Lauren bio - I read that one without stopping when it first came out - loved it! Loved the gin joint line especially - heehee.

LOTC was brimming with brillant piano, it is one of my favorites because of that. i beleive it was on LOTC that she really began using it extensively. the first time i ever saw joni on t.v. she was playing the piano. ( i think it was on ed sullivan or perhaps it was the smothers brothers, my memory is a bit fuzzy...it may have been both, she was also on the johnny cash show around the same time. ) i was so thrilled to see her on t.v., at the time it was almost like seeing her in person. oh well... it is late and i,m tired, more later warren keith ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 22:05:55 -0800 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Sting in Tuscany I was able to watch the last 2/3 of this concert & its being replayed on Dec 22 on A&E. If I were to pick a solo performer who the male version of Joni I think it would be Sting. Intelligent, literate artists with jazz influences. Both very attractive too. I remember reading that Joni loved the Police & I imagine that Sting must have great respect for Joni. Has he ever said anything about her? ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 22:30:35 -0800 From: rebecca cintron Subject: Standing tall and stretching The wind was blowing hard enough to lift him from the short run. Five more minutes, hed give her five more minutes and in the meantime he needed the stretch anyway. Silly human didnt even have her riding leathers on, wrapped up in some flimsy piece of cloth she called a skirt and refused to put her leggings on. Luckily the dragon had a spare set of leathers, leggings and face scarf in the saddlebags that she carried for emergencies.

They've been making and selling chocolates in this small shop since 1885 - I swear you can gain five pounds just by opening the door and smelling the air. Dark, semi-sweet chocolate, of course ;-) If this isn't an inducement for y'all to visit us here in Victoria, I don't know what could be. Other than meeting me, of course.... Wishing the best of the season to everybody, Roberto ps. I think there's a See's Candies in Portland, Ore. I was directed to it when I first visited Portland in the 80s, and was not disappointed!
