I am nearly certain I recall having seen a picture of her in the studio during the Mingus sessions. It's B&W, and she's standing behind the mic, singing, arms slightly outstretched, and wearing a blouse (or dress?) reminiscent of something Billie Holiday or another 40s/50s jazz singer might have worn. I've done a google search for Joni images and didn't see (or else just overlooked) the picture. I am in the library at the moment, and don't have access to my books, etc at home, and it may be in one of the biographies??? However, if anyone knows offhand a quick link to this image, I'd appreciate it.

I just happen to be a constituent from a congressional district which has a fascist congressman who usually caves to conservative business lobbies. I'm also an ASCAP member. When I wrote "songwriters and their craft are being celebrated" it meant songwriters as a group, certainly not me in particular!

There is a Billy Bob Thornton mention in it, a little joke from Michelle to Jian Ghomeshi. Should I label this message SBBTC? And speaking of BBT, he's at it again with a reference to "hump-backed geeks," but I'm not going there. __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
