That was an awesome read! I loved it! I didn't know Joni composed by ear and always wondered about that. I also like what was said about honesty and learning to feel. Definitely those are two things I get from Joni's work too, It is good to see Joni with her hair down. I think she's incredibly beautiful with it up or down. So, what's the buzz for the next Jonifest?
