Hey Lori, Thanks for doing my work for me! ;-) That was quite an amazing afternoon. Although I now regret just a bit that I discouraged Stephen from taking a photo of Joni (I thought if we didn't act too much like "fans" she'd talk more, which she did!). Ah well. By the way, Joni still has a few friends who read the list at times, ahem!

She looked happy, serene and beautiful. >> Gee, Darice and Kakki . . . I guess some people just lead more fabulous lives than others! It's nice to know you both had such a wonderful night and that Joni was slim, stylish, beautiful, happy and serene -- God love her. And how nice that Graham mentioned her so many times during his set. Stories like this leave me chicken scratching for my own brushes with greatness, but all I have is that tired old Ethel Merman record-signing story which I posted about two years ago. Maybe I should join the EMDL and be fabulous there! I LOVE LA and I am jealous that you had such a memorable night, although I am truly happy for you both. Thanks for your stories.

Sounds to me like you and someone else (I forget who now) who gave such pithy advice thinks the issue shouldn't be talked about at all. Why not?

I'm with you on this one, Mr. Momentarily Cranky Bob! No matter how it's said, it bugs me when people are told to be quiet about something. It seems healthy to me to wonder about and thoroughly discuss the "total Joni", even if it sometimes leads to less than worshipful things being said, or even, gasp, Complaints. We're all here because of appreciating Joni, so such "complaining" never lasts very long and adds a bit of spice to the mix. Sometimes it even helps me see things about Joni I hadn't noticed before, or appreciate her even more if I disagree with someone's negative comment. A big part of Joni's appeal for me is that she's so real. We all should be allowed to be real also. And that involves expressing, respectfully and honestly, how we view and feel about things.
