I wish I had been a Joni fan back when I was in broadcasting school. We had to make a music video as one of our projects. I would LOVE to do that now with that video (my group made Thunderstruck--standard live playing video). I will go into more detail about what I'd do with the video when I have more time. Right now, I'm on vacation in the Tampa bay area and am off to watch some dolphins! - -Mon ________________________________ From: "passscribe@aol.com" To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Tue, August 17, 2010 7:17:29 AM Subject: Re: Which Joni Song to be Made Into a Movie > Which song of Joni's would make a good movie?

You also said, "about every third letter I type doesn't show up" which obviously isn't right yet. Have them try a different keyboard because I'm suspecting stuck keys or maybe someone spilled Coke on it. It doesn't sound like the computer is to fault for dropped letters. Good luck.
