Rick, That is just incredible! You must have been standing at the stage door right where I was after the show! I remember the fellow asking Joni for a kiss, and I was kicking myself for not thinking of asking first. I asked something dumb like "when will you perform back in Detroit again?" I have her autograph from the program in a frame. I wonder if she signed it with YOUR pen??? :-) What a small world! Do you remember her playing "Rainy Night House" and making a mistake? She stopped and said something like, "Oh I'm so sorry, I guess I'll just have to start all over again" or something like that? She was just beautiful. A friend (not into Joni) and I took the train from Detroit to Stratford to see her. When I run into him now he always says, "Remember when we went to Stratford to see Joni Mitchell?" How filled with hope I was in my younger days!!
