B Without analysis, what comes to your mind immediately? For me it was Clouds. BTW, vocallyb& Hissing of Summer Lawns came right to my mind. And as for her being young and writing incredible lyrics, the question is, whose mother reads Shakespeare to her child?! B Also, Joni has the gift of gab as many first children or only children do. B And, polio woke her up. B I read last night in In Her Words, that when she was quarantined, her mother visited her one time and brought her the Christmas tree that was instrumental in her recovery, and her dad didn't visit her at all. B Sanitariums were like that. B Definitely it was a wake up call for Joni at the age of reason. B Then there's Little Green, losing a child who ends up being out there somewhere, the radio being a means to sing to her perhaps. B Anybody else have the new book yet and reading it? I love that it is comes through her friendship with Malka. B What better way to do this thing than in conversation with somebody you love?!

I love the authentic style and look forward to learning and seeing lots of things I've not seen before. We certainly don't need another biography. Just need more time in the day to do all the things I want to do.
