Any comments? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 01 Mar 2014 08:39:43 -0600 From: Laura O Subject: Spot the Typos Jim, Maybe Stereophile Magazine will print out your email letter (to the editor) in the next issue ......and if they do that means Joni will get ANOTHER mention! I've found the entire "Spot The Typos" thread exchange enjoyable LOL reading. Laura P.S. Has the JMDL grammar police mystery finally been solved, Mr Jim?!? Hmmmm..... LOL Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2014 00:16:15 -0500 From:jlhommedieu@insight.rr.com Subject: Fwd: Spot the Typos Our story so far... Stereophile Magazine mentioned two of Joni's songs in a review of some stereo gear but they credited the songs to the wrong albums. I asked JMDLers to spot the typos. Several did. I forwarded one email to the editor, John Atkinson, and thanked him for mentioning Joni so often. Mr. Atkinson responded with heart and humor and humility.

In fact, upon seeing the photos from the Clive Davis party I thought 'not *that's* Joni!' Yes, she does seemed to have age a lot. She was out of the limelight for awhile but it didn't seem like it was for all that long. She has said she was very sick for a long time so I assume that accounts for some of it.

I thought that was her best hairdo over the past year. I'm not a big fan of the up-do. It makes her look a bit dowdy. She also wore her hair traditionally straight at a museum opening a while back. I think she is gorgeous, but she has showed her age a bit more over the past 5 years. She was so vibrant at Luminato ... I wish she would go out and perform more. Maybe that would be good for her!

Totally great, amazing site, totally great community. . I never could have imagined something so good ( jm.com and all of you). The first thing I did when learning how to use the internet I is I looked up joni Mitchell. . Printed bunch of stuff and then I saw this thing called a discussion list, What is that? I had no idea. Hey. . . counting my blessings here and the wonderful Paz just inspired me to do so. THANK YOU to all who have put so much creativity and effort into jm.com. And to everyone who contributes here on the jmdl. Hugs for all. Let's start the weekend early.
