But I think Joni looked fabulous at the Clinton event. I think those Morgellon's comments are from 2007-2009 era. Plus she's as elegant as Georgia O'Keefee, no matter how old she becomes, and still a great artist. - -----Original Message----- From: Dave Blackburn [mailto:beatntrack@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2012 1:06 PM To: Susan Tierney McNamara; LIST Subject: Re: Liz Smith on Joni 4.19.12 Yes, Sue, it would be huge news indeed. Of course this week we also read that Joni is extricating herself from the music business once and for all to concentrate on Morgellon's awareness. She also thinks she looks scary by daylight so I'd be amazed if she agreed to appear on stage again, cameras clicking and interviewers buzzing about her "comeback."

I seem to remember there was something suspicously similar to a Mutts arrangement played at the Bowl last year. About time Joni got to a Mutts gig.

The Last Waltz was one of their favorites to play (along with The Song Remains The Same, Monterrey Pop, and some obscure Emerson Lake and Palmer movie!!!) At that time, I think I saw The Last Waltz about 25 times. It's kind of a tradition in our family (especially my sister, who was A HUGE Rick Danko fan) to have a Last Waltz viewing!! RIP Levon Helm.

I suppose it could be, but it never occurred to me, because I'm kinda thick! It's funny because my daughter is a huge John Mayer fan and she plays his music so often and talks about him all the time that I get kind of tired of it. (I can assure you that I do NOT talk about Joni or anyone even one-tenth as much as Sarah does about John Mayer.) So I'm aware of his health issues (she wanted to go to his next concert, which has been cancelled due to his throat problem.) I thought it might be a reference to Jennifer Anniston (sp?) whom he was dating a while ago, but I also figure his songs may be about more than one person/thing at the same time. Despite my having heard so much John Mayer that I have to sometimes tell Sarah, "Play anything but John Mayer, but if given a choice between John Mayer and Maroon 5, it has to be John, because I absolutely detest Maroon 5," I will admit that I've heard songs from his new album and I think I like it. It's too soon to tell because, once the thing has been released and she has her CD, I'm sure we'll be hearing it non-stop, and she'll be singing along with every song, and Matthew will be trying to kill her. >________________________________ > From: Jamie Zubairi Home >To: Catherine McKay >Cc: Joni List >Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2012 4:30:17 AM >Subject: Re: Joni reference in new John Mayer song > >I love the fact that he quotes her manager "If you see her say hello,". >It's just so Joni. > >Much Joni > >Jamie Zoob > >On 19 April 2012 04:23, Catherine McKay wrote: > >> Hey, Joni-folks.

Levon was scheduled for Jazz Fest (nojazzfest.com) to play Sat. night, May 5 at about 5:30 but dropped out a few days ago and Warren Haynes replaced him. I was torn because also the Eagles were playing on one stage and Herbie Hancock on another at the same time. So, now my mind is made up and Warren Haynes it is. It should be a great tribute. RIP, Levon. I was into The Band before really knew Joni's music. ________________________________ From: Bob Muller To: Brian Gross ; "Joni@smoe.org" Sent: Friday, April 20, 2012 12:45 PM Subject: Re: RIP Levon Helm (sjc) Indeed.
