By the way, I'd already left Belgium by 1983, and would not have had the money to afford any of her gigs, either in Belgium or in England! I'm really grateful to you and Laura for referring me to the library and other information sources, but I simply haven't got the time to check it all out, so I will probably keep stumbling onto things and keep being surprised by them!

Myself, I didn't have time to take the test so, being a believer in the honour system, with head held low and a tear in my I, I slowly walked over to the bus stop, all of my belongings tied up in a bundle thrown over my shoulder. The bus showed up hours later but they wouldn't let me on because I had lost my wallet and all my cash - probably at Starbucks where I had, over an overpriced Latte earlier been engrossed in the JMDL-list vs JMDL-Facebook debate. So here I am, in the middle of the night, standing outside of the Starbucks, stealing their free Wi-Fi, waiting for them to open in the morning. (I Hope they found my Wallet) Maybe I SHOULD have taken the test. /Robban - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Jamie Zubairi Home Sent: den 24 januari 2011 22:51 To: bworkman@woh.rr.com Cc: Les Irvin; joni@smoe.org Subject: Re: New JMDL membership requirement LOL Reading Les' email, you would probably note the humour with which it was written.

I got the CD out of the rack, opened it up and to my horror, the case was empty! I'm sure it got stuck in some other case and will turn up eventually, but I'm way too impatient for that. So I am now in the market for a new version of DJRD. A while back I thought I read on the list that someone was putting out some special versions of Joni's catalogue and I don't remember who or what CDs were to be included (I might not be remembering this correctly at all - maybe it was special vinyl versions). Any way, if anyone knows which CD version has the best audio on it, I would appreciate them letting me know. The end of the above story, I dragged out my vinyl lp and listened to that. What a magical way to break in a new system.

No idea, Bob. It's a guy on piano with a young girl singing in a studio. It doesn't give their names on YouTube - just posts Joni's lyrics below.
