I didn't see this the first time around - I laughed at loud when I read it!
We've had any number of discussions about Joni's life, whether we approved of who
she dated or married (Larry Klein tends to get raked over the coals - I bet he or
his alter ego will respond soon!!!!!), and many fascinating insights into Joni's
life as it set the context for here music from people who have visited places
where Joni lived and brought us insights into the development of the artist in
her context. I am vastly understanding the serious discussions about Joni's
personal life for how it impacted on some of her very personal music - and as
with any artist, these are fair questions that need be discussed.
Also, some here were a part of Joni's reunion with her daughter and others know
that that story and tell it better than I so I will leave that for others - but
discuss her life? Hell, we've jumped right into it! And Joni and us are the
better for it!
Wally Breese, the founder of the Joni homepage, is no longer with us. Joni
extended extraordinary kindness to that extraordinary gentle man in the last
months of Wally's life and the accounts of Wally's weekend with Joni in her home
a few months prior to his death are very moving, and I can't find those right
off, so if someone has the direct URL, could you please post it as I have lost
it.
