Let me add to Jimmy's bit *hi Jimmy* about Joni at the piano in Toronto...we were so surprised! and hopeful...and I am sure it had everything to do with us all encouraging her to play ... she seemed almost shy or reluctant or something...said something about her piano chops being a bit rusty ... let me assure you...she is not rusty!!! Joni at the piano is something that Brei and I have longed for ... what an incredible moment...which did seem to go on for a very long time..she walked over with grace, sat down and just played...almost as if she was meditating over the keys..long lost friends perhaps. If you ask Ashara and everyone else sitting on that side of the stage, they can tell you about the look on her face..and I think Pearl has the photos on the site to demonstrate what I mean.
And of course, at the end of the night, when it was all over..we looked at each other in disbelief that she even played at all. Anyone know how long it has been since Joni was at the piano in concert?
