A woman begins a conversation with her. I can't remember if Joni had the door open or if this woman barged in to the wrong room. The woman asks what Joni is knitting. I think Joni tells her it's a sweater and she chose the colors of her yarn so she could 'knit Paradise' or something like that. I seem to remember Joni saying the colors were earthy tones of green and brown and this woman tells her 'Paradise is vivid, dear!' Joni used a really funny nasal voice to imitate how the woman spoke. The woman invited Joni to join her and her husband for a drink. Joni said, 'Well I can't because I'm naked.' So the woman yells out the door to her husband 'She can't, Jack. She's naked.' >> >> I don't suppose it was Ruby Lake Resort but maybe it was nearby.

Also, Joni's always been a cat lover, so maybe her pets would be a good topic too. And she loves bowling, gardening, cooking and playing pool. You're hoping to meet Joni for the first time and you would ask for about bowling or cats? Really? You've got to be kidding me. Are either of those subjects a reason why you idolize, or even like, her? Stick to topics related to her music or her art, but try to be creative with your question without being too obscure. To put it in an allegory, don't ask about butterflies in Brazil, but "the birds and the bees, please!"

It would be nice is people would provide a little information when posting a link, instead of simply posting the Link itself. THIS link refers to a new CD scheduled for release in October. TITLED: Music Is Love - A Singer-Songwriters' Tribute To the Music of CSN&Y It's A benefit for the Equestrian Therapy Co-op in Brandeis, CA. Additional information is available @ and . - - - - - - "Music Is Love" is also the title of the first song on David Crosby's Brilliant! 1st solo album IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER MY NAME.... In addition to the absolutely beautiful music, this album is one of the best sounding LPs I've ever heard.

Check it out LP, CD and DVD Versions of the Last Waltz - - - - - Randy Remote also asked > Does this mean that Joni also redubbed her vocals/guitar post-concert? > RR There No reason to think she did. It would be out of character. I not in a position to state whether or not Robbie Robertson or other members of The Band overdubbed their parts accompanying Joni. It IS clear that some of Joni's 'guitar tuning' has been removed from the beginning of 'Coyote' and the time between songs has been shortened. You might want to listen and decide for yourself. I have a copy of the recording used by the folks who released "THE COMPLETE LAST WALTZ" BootLeg. As you know, Joni performed 'Coyote', 'Shadows And Light' and also 'Furry Sings The Blues" I just UpLoaded all -3- Songs via YouSendIt.

Please count me among the lurkers who only want to know that Joni is feeling healthy enough to be out among her fans these days, and if only for one rather rare event. Though quiet, I think many of us hope to hear that someone makes contact, and we will be happy to bask in the second-hand glow. I'll check next week and hope for whatever comes back! Thanks to those who will make the trek and bring the rest of us along!
