Thank you for putting together this little album from San Diego and LA for us. Everybody looks so radiant! Thanks also for giving us a preview of Joni's new art, too. I think it will look great on stage. It's always interesting to see what she's up to.

Hi. Does anyone have any ideas about what is the best biography written so far about Joni? Are they all pretty junky, do you think? at any rate, I'd love to hear about any decent bios of Joni... I really can't wait to read Joni's autobiography... I'm sure that will be a real fascinating book to read... I hope it doesn't take too long for her to finish it though, I'm getting impatient!

Central Standard Time, broomstick_bluestocking@yahoo.com writes: Nope! I have plenty of friends who already practice it. Hi Sweet Bluerose Witch. I hope after all the practicing they get it. I always thought that a rather curious lyric of Joni's, actually-- as if Witches and occultists lay anything on anybody I've always loved the line, "she's laying her religion on her friends." It's got that la la la alliteration in it, and it is a cool twist on what can be called religion that might present a pressure to one's friends. I also like the one, "friends who come to find they can't be friends because of signs and seasons that don't suit her." Some people do base their friendship on astrology or on the million dollar (can cost you at least) question, "are you a Christian?" "Roses Blue" is one of my very fave Joni songs, Mine too. It rolled off the guitar pretty much by itself the first time I tried to play it. I was kind of spooked by how natural it is to play. And, with the last line of the stanza - first line of the stanza connection, it is easy to remember it to sing it. Trembing at heart at the place Rose has gotten to? Surely not. I love the trembling part. Yeah, trembling. It could happen to anybody. >Catwoooman I see you don't spell it "Catwomban" or "Catwomon" or "Catwemoon"... good for you! Feminist that I be, I dislike such linguistic contrivances. XO, if no Y then female... the default phenotype, all hugs and kisses she is with Turner's syndrome. The facts are your notches liberation doll. Our prophet witches don't have to be in flames because we know that the winds of change come to the patriarchs no matter what. I'm with you on this one. I've never used the word "herstory", because "history" doesn't literally mean "his story" etymologically-- fhat's only coincidental in appearance. I'm SUCH a linguistic snob, I swear... :-) What was fhat? Could it have been a Phreudian slip, that little feminine f escaping from your flow of consciousness?
