Joni sent a request for seating at all three evening performances of The Fiddle & The Drum in Calgary. She'll be sitting about 15 rows from the front on an aisle. Lots of tickets left if anyone can make it! And, if anyone can make it, it would be fun to meet up for a drink after one of the shows! We could have an impromptu Joni minifest :-) Okay, well, I'm in denial, but it sure would be nice if there were more Listers in Calgary. But I'm passing the word on to people who have come to get the CD & DVD in person at the Ballet office, so maybe we'll get a few. Super excited to finally get a Joni boot, thanks to Sue Cameron who said she would hook me up! LOL as I was writing this I had a call from Norway Lister, Oddmund! :-) I love the sound of a Norwegian accent (though I know for him I must have a thick Canadian brogue! ;) ).

Celebrating five years on the JMDL! I'm a little late mon amie but I can hardly believe it's been just five years! I feel I've known you all of my life!!! You are so sweet and dear to me Strawberry Fields Sister! I love you always!!! Sherelle From: loveuconn@hotmail.com To: joni@smoe.org; sherellesmith@hotmail.com; wally.kairuz@gmail.com Subject: sjc? Celebrating five years on the JMDL! Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2009 20:07:31 +0000 Hi Loves! Exactly five years ago today I typed the same thing, but it was my very first post, shakin' into Joni Town. To celebrate this great date in my personal herstory, I want to thank you all for taking me as I am, and to say: "I love you!" (Right out loud!) I had been "lurking" for a long time, getting to know you all from afar. I needed "a safe place for kids to play." (Even though those lyrics were not out yet, LOL!) I was seeing a family therapist at the time (trying to keep my family together, dealing w/ a great deal of bad, horrible stuff). She kept urging me to post something, but "I get so damn timid, not at all the spirit that's inside of me." She contined to gently encourage me, and finally one day she asked what was really holding me back. I said: "I want to, but I don't where to begin. I have too much to say!" She counseled, wisely: "Well, you don't have to say it all at once!" Ha! So here I am five years later, still babbling sans cesse about Joni (and you know there may be more), and much richer in the love and friendship department. Not to mention musical -- and other -- knowledge (because you know life is for learning). "Tested and blessed, darlins. I'm going to give you my very best. You are my happiness. You open my heart up, you do." I remember the first replies. I was so thrilled! Jerry was first, then Muller ("We will GLADLY take you as you are."), and Maggie, and then along comes Mary -- Catherine. Cherished Catherine. I have chosen her reply to share, because...well..... Because the world is round it turns me on Because the world is round....ahhhhhhhhhhh Because the wind is high It blows my mind Because the wind is high...ahhhhhhhh Love is old Love is new Love is all Love is you Because the sky is BLUE!, it makes me cry Because the sky is BLUE!....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Well, you will see. (There is method to the Madwoman of Mansfield's madness.) And Catherine, I am holding your hand and giving you a big hug as you read the end of it. (I hope it doesn't come out all shooby dooby format...that happens lately when I cut and paste from the digest.)

It sounds kind of perverted, doesn't it? ;-) > So, dear Joni-lovers, this Valentine's Day I offer > you all my Joni-love and > memories and moments-yet-to-come. Will you take me > as I am? Will you? Definitely. I like the fact that you called us all loves. That suggests to me that you, too, are a loveable person. Awww, so are we all, gosh darn it! I fell in love with Joni around the same time you did - I guess it's true what they say about first loves. > > Patti, who just turned 50 on Monday and is giving > herself a magnificent > present by diving heart-first into the JMDL waters > Happy birthday then, from one who got there a few months (or maybe more like ten months?) ahead of you, but not quite so far ahead of you as Bob Murphy who is about five minutes younger than me and who likes to rub my nose in it constantly. (That's for you, Smurph, because I know you're out there, lurking, or something.) ===== Catherine Toronto - - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- We all live so close to that line, and so far from satisfaction Yes.
