You have been a most excellent addition to the JMDL - I remember when I logged on to the internet and wanted to see if anyone, ANYONE felt about Hejira the way that I did. 15 years later we are still going strong, and I have learned and grown so much. Thanks to all of you who have enriched my life so deeply and significantly.

When I first came across Blue, I played it first thing every morning while getting ready for college courses. Every afternoon, I returned home and played it again, and again in the evening while boiling some catastrophe I called spaghetti. I played it constantly. When I found Ladies of the Canyon, just before my escape trip to Saint Lucia in the fall of that year, another attempt at getting over the heartbreak that Blue was helping me through, I played the tape in my jeep while dodging potholes and going to and from the marina. It was THE perfect setting for that album and I don't think I listened to another album the entire time. I was on my third reading of Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" and was feeling a little stronger as a woman, but also softer, and more open to potential vulnerability with the assistance of LOTC. A few years later, after making my way through as many of her albums as I could find, I was reading an interview with her in Guitar Magazine and I realized SHE'S STILL ALIVE. I knew this of course, but the sensation that filled the cells of my consciousness was sudden, present, thwarting. I couldn't believe I was alive at the same time as this incredible artist. She and I were breathing the same days through. We're all so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet her, write her a letter, watch her perform. It's my big nah-ne-nah-ne-boo-boo to future generations who will go without the chance to make contact, make an impression on her, shower appreciation ... To simply thank her as many of you have. Happy New Year to you all! Thank you for including me in this exchange. It enriched my life. I hope my minor contribution has enriched yours.
