The BBC Joni concert show aired on TV tonight. Joni solo in a London studio with a small audience, doing some of her early 70's songs. For those who haven't seen the images, she's about 30 years old, dressed in a peachy pink silk granny gown - ankle length, simple cloth belt at the waist, short sleeves, crochet and lace neckline, turquoise jewelry, straight waist-length hair. Very demure, poised and mellow, looking like a Danish princess. Not a line on her face, next to no make-up, a hint of a tan, the same sleek silhouette we remember from the pool shot on HOSL. What color are Joni"s eyes? Anyone? Grey? They're not light blue.
The set Chelsea morning - guitar Cactus tree - guitar For free - piano California - dulcimer Big yellow taxi - guitar Both sides now - guitar The audience recognized and applauded each of the last two songs as she started them. Very little patter, lots of broad smiles. A beautiful little show. Michael in Quebec
