This isn't really Joni related, but it's related to this topic and so darn funny I just had to share it. Sorry if this offends any of the Joni Only's. After reading Paul's email message about Talk to Me, and then Bob's response, I got another email with the Subject line "Talk to Me!". Cool, I thought, someone started a thread about this song triggered by Paul's email. As a big fan of DJRD, I anxiously opened the email, only to see the follow message.

When I read that comment I thought it was a bit harsh, and it would be perfectly natural for Judy Collins to be stung by those words... Of course it could be other things as well... we don't know what happened between them... tJoni did say that her heart was broken about Judy Collins initially standing her up at ther Newport Folk festival in the 60's, but that's ancient history... I wouldn't think there would still be hurt feelings about that, but who really knows what it's about? the only ones who would know are Judy and Joni and whomever they've talked to about it... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:47:15 +0000 (GMT) From: Vincenzo Mancini Subject: Peter Herbert Never heard about this: Peter Herbert - 'Joni' (available - f.i.- on amazon.com) feat. ena/vocals, Wolfgang Mitterer/elctronics, Koehne quartet, Peter Herbert/b, comp.
