I've neglected listening to it more in the past 7 years I've been privileged to have it in my collection thanks to the JMDL (and Catgirl).

That happen (and will always happen) everytime i post something to smoe via cellular phone.<< Not only are cell phones obnoxious in SO many ways, like while driving or trying to be in the present moment with friends. BUT the microwaves from cell phones, GPS and satellite TV are killing honey bees, disrupting the migritory flight patterns of birds and slowly nuking all life on Earth to death! I personally blame cell phone microwaves for speeding global warming and contributing to the exploding cancer worldwide. German researchers found that placing a cell phone by a bee hive rose the temperature in the hive by one degree, possibly explaining the reason why honey bees are rapidly going extinct. If one cell phone can raise the temperature in a bee hive by one degree, killing off the drones, please try to imagine what 6 billion cell phones, satellite TVs and GPS microwaves can do! BUT given the choice does anyone seriously believe that "humanity" would give up cell phones, GPS or satellite TV to prevent our extinction??? I don't think so. Sorry for being such a downer! Like Joni.....

(LOL) Sometimes I think your Joni love is just quizzical. We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came, and I'm looking back to when Vince (Merry Christmas, Vince!) wrote that hysterically funny story about Joni and basketball, with all kinds of JMDL names popping out of the woodwork and down the stairway, stairway, down to the crowds in his living room -- and the coup de grace with Bob Muller coming out from his covers or kicking the covers off his sleep or something. Lots of laughs, lots of laughs. I want to laugh along, I want to belong to the living. Let's laugh and toast to the JMDL! Joni Joy to the World and all the fishes in the deep blue sea and in all the fishermen's nets. Laughing it all away, like jingle bells or pealing silver bells....I checked the discography and there are 28 (plus or minus) (TIC! the minus is loveless...) songs lyrics with laugh or laughter in them. Don't you just love Joni's laugh on MOA after that "You've got more class than..." comment? So spontaneous and bright! Starbright, starbright, she's got the lovin' that we like alright. And the gift goes on. Singing songs of joy and peace, Patti P. P.S. NO! I have not been drinking sweet champagne or singapore slings for breakfast!
