Bree, if you go to the jonimitchell.com site and read through Jim's essays about the Hommage here in Toronto...well, it is the next best thing to being there. Jim does an excellent job in telling the tale. The group of us that were there were beside ourselves afterward...taking it all in...shaking our heads in disbelief .. 'did this really happen'... that kind of thing. It was wonderful to see how much Joni is loved, admired, adored. That was obvious on this evening filled with magic and surprises of the Joni kind. For all the negative things that have been said about Joni, it is my hope that she was able to take in all of the love everyone felt for her in those precious moments.
Bree..you mentioned that you saw Joni in 75? Tell us about that. Where? What tour? What was the venue? Small.. or large? I would love to hear your Joni stories. Thank you for your kind words about honey boi Brei and I. 'This' began because of our deep love for Joni and we grew from there. We have so much support from our Joni family which helps so much. We are forever grateful for the kindness of everyone who surrounds us here. Especially in challenging times. and 'this' is a good thing. take care Bree, and thanks for the generosity of your heart. love, Mags np: one of the most gorgeous pieces of music in our collection: The Lark Ascending Academy of St. Martin in the fields Neville Marriner Iona Brown solo violin --- Bree Mcdonough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks Mags, for your words......I'm counting the days until her next > > release.
