I'm still processing it all. Extraordinary experience in an extraordinary place. Joni pointed out the moon to me right before I hugged her and told her I think the world of her. I'll think of her from now on when I see the moon and send up a prayer for her. It was a half moon. Still in awe. Said bye to Cassy and Pearl. Going home with my heart and soul very full.

I don't think I could handle meeting her. She seems so intimidating to me. I know that's my own fault of putting her on a massive and unrealistic pedestal, but it's kind of hard to believe she could exist on the same plane of reality at the same time as me. I'm exaggerating of course, but I really don't think I'd be much better than stammering fool in front of her. On Sep 23, 2012, at 11:59 AM, Shari Eaton wrote: > Glad you enjoyed them, Bob.

That was kind of you to mention us to Giorgio, Laura. We are hoping to put together a west coast tour sometime, hitting the Bay area, Seattle and on to B.C, and Ruby lake would make a wonderful final destination. Heck, there might even be a local gal who'd like to sit in on some harmonies if she knows the words! If you think of it, perhaps one of you could send us a contact email for the Ruby lake owners so we could send some materials their way. It's nice to have current Joni activity to talk about isn't it? Oh, btw, Robin and I are playing a few tunes at Castle Rock Methodist church this Saturday (the 29th) at 5.30, as part of a concert series that Mr. Les Irvin is in charge of. It's between Denver CO and Colorado Springs. If you find yourself on I-25 on Saturday afternoon and wonder what to do with yourself, well, the answer is now self evident! love Dave ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:26:42 -0700 From: "gene" Subject: Re: Magical night with Joni Thank You! - ----- Original Message ----- From: "LC Stanley" To: "Susan Tierney McNamara" Cc: "Anita" ; Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2012 11:03 PM Subject: Re: Magical night with Joni > Hi Sue, > > Joni is beautiful!
