It's classy and tasteful and completely appropriate. __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

You know, I would love to be doing this professionally but I have no qualifications so, I continue in the only industry I know - Nursing. I guess a creative outlet balances the precision of my working life. It's enough really that people get what I'm doing and appreciate it. Thanks for letting me know that you "get" it and to all the other people who have sent me private e-mails of appreciation. It makes it more worthwhile somehow to share this enjoyment. Joni is my favourite subject. It is the woman and her work that inspires me. I do CD and DVD covers for other artists too but it's Joni that fills the bulk of my work. Stay tuned for some more.

TO me there is the one on BSN and a few others (including Dave and Robin's!), and a whole load of terrible terrible versions.... As for Abba, I guess I can't explain what it is. There is a lot of 'happy' pop-music that doesn't have that effect on me, but Abba and Michael Jackson just get on my nerves. I won't get into the gory details of how perfidiouslyI dislike them, since so many people love them! Have a nice weekend...

The other night, I was running a live show at the radio station I work at when the host handed me a mixed cd of songs with which he wanted a couple to play during the show. I noticed that Big Yellow Taxi was on the cd! Now the host didn't ask for that song to be played during the show that night but while I was playing his commercials, I was listening to the song in cue (off air and just in my studio) and it made my day just a little better. Just a little....since I would have rather had Coyote or something on there. But all was well since normally I'm used to just hearing conservatives bitching about something or another..... - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2008 14:49:23 -0400 From: anon anon Subject: RE: Song For Sharon - Questions For Sharon what I would like to know is: does Sharon keep in touch with Joni, and if so, how often do they talk to each other, or spend time with each other?> Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2008 05:12:57 -0700> From: anima_rising@yahoo.ca> Subject: Re: Song For Sharon - Questions For Sharon> To: scjoniguy@yahoo.com; joni@smoe.org; northern.muse@gmail.com> > Lisa picked up Muller's and my names from one of the archives (how weird is that, given the discussion about that within the last week or two.)

Roosevelt Raceway, Long Island. Sept. 1974. I skipped freshman orientation at college and hitchhiked there ..." Ha! I was there! But I never saw that hitcher on the fine white lines of the free freeway. Maybe we would have picked him up in our blue Volvo with the "Impeach The President. Now More Than Ever" bumpersticker on it. (Wow, even back then. In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption!) I was a junior in college, getting ready to leave for a magical year abroad, where they kiss on Main Street. Despite the great line-up, it was the most crowded, hard-to-see-and-hear concert ever. Ranks 6th (last) on my list of Joni concerts. That is not to say that I have regrets about going. Nosiree Bobs and Coyotes! Not counting the Joni's, I have to say that CSNY's Freedom of Speech '06 Tour was my best concert experience. (Are you experienced?)

Next thing you know we'll find Amelia! Regarding Mark's wallpapers: Genius on genius. Je m'abaisse devant votre grandeur, Joni and Mark. Okay, c'est tout. Bon samedi! Love, Patti P.
