No, no, Terra, you didn't offend me at all! And I do agree that the hairdo was awful. It took a LOT of hairspray to keep in place. Later, when long straight hair was in and everything else out, I had a girlfriend who ironed her beautiful wavey hair. The things we do for fashion;.) That's one good thing about getting older, you just don't care that much anymore and go with what you are comfortable with. (Don't know if that goes for Joni, though).

My mum saw one of the Aden Bowman photos a few years ago - where Joni had very similar hair and mum too had a very similar hairstyle around the same time (they were born 2 years apart). I guess it's not very flattering but it's the sort of hair that the "popular" conservative girls wore (and that's not a euphemism for slut!), the sort that, by the time mum came to wear it, was conventional good-girl. 2009/3/19 Susan E McNamara > Love that sweater!! :-) Leave it to Joni to join an all-male bowling > team!

I guess that particular hairstyle was before my time, but I do remember some girls in my class doing the teasing-and-spraying when i was in Grade 7 (which would have been in 1965, I guess). A lot of those girls did want to look older. I always hated hairspray and so many of the "beauty salons" (ha!) wanted to spray your entire head in those days. In fact, a lot of them still do. - --- On Thu, 3/19/09, T Peckham wrote: > Hi Marion, > Sorry, hope I didn't offend! ;-) I'm only seven > years younger, and I never > liked that hairstyle, not on my mother, and not on my older > brother's > girlfriends.

Has anyone got the Shine Songbook? It came through the post yesterday and I thought I've have a quick tinkle this morning before work... What do people think? I was listening to the piano tracks while following the score last night... I'm guessing the accompanied keyboard parts are written in as piano as well (where she changes to 'strings' or any other instrument on the keyboard). I'd love to be able to play 'Shine' but so far it doesn't sound anything like it (ok so my elec keyboard doesn't have the same sample (I'm using "Vibes" on heavy tremolo) but maybe the parts are so far into the mix that I can't hear them...

The kind of thing to drive middle-aged eyes crazy, in other words. What was Joni thinking? There are some good stories there. Some you've probably heard before and others that may be new to you, as they were to me. P.S. It's the Geffen box set. I think you did "Prairie Girl" on your own. - --- On Thu, 3/19/09, Jim L'Hommedieu wrote: > From: Jim L'Hommedieu > Catherine & I collaborated on > typing the liner notes of "Songs Of A > Prairie Girl".

Wow, that is definitely a great find - that hair, too funny! She's still beautiful though and always wanting to "play" with the boys. I vaguely remember watching an interview where Joni was asked something to the effect of whether as a young child, she had any dreams/ wants/foresight about/into where she would be today. She answered that the only thing she wanted was a bowling alley in her basement! Wish me luck, I'm going skiing for the very first time (in Colorado).

After what happened to Natasha Richardson (and she left behind her husband, Liam Neeson, and two young children, aged 10 or 11 and 12)... Not trying to cause needless alarm, but this just isn't something I'd have thought about because the last time I went skiing (probably 40 years ago!) I doubt anyone had thought of helmets for anything. Despite all my doom-saying, have fun!
