Brilliantly expressed both of you. The reason for the Amen is that I have sing more carols with our Rock Choir than I have in an age. I hope everyone is snug and warm, and for all those who are not, may someone offer you a friendly hand, With love to all Jonilistas, Anita x On 27 Dec 2012, at 04:00, Marianne Rizzo wrote: > Catherine, > > You are spot on here! > as per usual > > Joni has given us and the world quite a lot > > joni is a people too! > > even if she is joni > even the amazing, incredible artist that she is > amazing > incredible > "beautiful, amazing . . . wonderful, extraordinarily beautiful! . . ." > (from a yes album - tormato) > > (shhhiverinig here . . . as i just had to get a tow truck as I was stuck, > going up a hill > in a big snowstorm . . . safe and sound now) > > > ps.
