What a beautiful job you did on this! I was getting misty eyed while reading it. I'm sure Joni will be touched by this. Thanks for all your hard work in putting this together.

I've been thinking about sending this item to her for a long time, but I loved it so much I hated to part with it. It is a wooden music box I found on ebay that plays Both Sides Now.

I also have to say that I snagged some pictures from Jonifests without checking with everyone first, so if you see your picture in the flyer and you don't like it, tough noogies. :-) Now I'm going to go sleep for a week (oh shoot never mind I have to go to work tomorrow.)

Thanks Bob. I was really feeling this week like I was taking the term "fan" to a new level!!! (fanatic!) :-) I really hope we hear how she liked it. That would be the icing on the cake.

McNamara Cc: Joni Mitchell Subject: Re: The Birthday Card is on its way ... Sue, Thanks for your efforts, I'm sure that Joni will be touched by the remembrances and thoughts from her cyber-community. You always go above and beyond the call of duty. Labor of love, I know, but much labor nonetheless. And how cool knowing that something you put together will make it to Joni herself.

Oh Sue! How beautiful!!!! Such a labor of love you put into making this card, and bringing it all together so quickly. Joni will love this. It's my favorite card we've ever sent her. Thanks for all you do for the JMDL. Love you! Jimmy ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2013 07:01:50 -0800 (PST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: The Birthday Card is on its way ... Ha ha. I wasn't even thinking about the spelling. With me, it's more the tough decision about which song to choose, if I could only choose one. Ask me another time and I'd come up with a different one. >________________________________ > From: Susan E.

I wish I could venture over and catch the gig but after this weekend's Hejira to San Diego to watch Dave, Robin and the fabulous Mutts playing Hejira I'll be all travelled out for a bit. Bob NP: Curtis Mayfield, "Freddie's Dead" From: Ange T To: "joni@smoe.org" , Date: 11/05/2013 06:56 PM Subject: Ladies of the Canyon Sent by: owner-joni@smoe.org Hello lovely listers, I wanted to share some exciting news with you. I've been invited to perform at the Australian version of Woodstock. It's a massive music festival featuring 500 artists, set in the lush green rolling hills of south east Queensland (www.*woodfordfolkfestival*.com). It's a bloody hard festival to crack, so I'm REALLY happy! I have seven gigs including... wait for it... a Joni tribute concert gig! Here's the official blurb in the program: *LADIES OF THE CANYON CONCERT: **This year's Canadian imports - Rose Cousins, Kim Wempe and Mo Kenny, join forces with Australian favourites Leah Flanagan and Ange Takats and Scottish songstress Rachel Sermanni in a song circle that introduces their own work via a favourite work from the iconic Joni Mitchell.* I will be singing 'The Last Time I Saw Richard' - as well as two songs of my own. Anyone fancy a trip to Australia over Christmas/ New Year? If so, be sure to come to Woodford for some Joni-magic!
