i am almost 100% sure the reference is in the billboard chronicle when joni got the award. i distinctly remember joni herself saying in the interview that chuck mitchell had backed off. wallyK
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I certainly didn't mean to come off harsh about Chuck. It's none of my beeswax anyway, and Chuck always sounded to me like a nice enough guy, although a bit of a womanizer according to Joni's earliest assessments of him (noticing her legs before he noticed her hands on the guitar, & singing ballads in his act to attract girls). Who knows? He might've used the "other man's child" thing to escape a relationship that was making him increasingly more insecure as his wife's talent & popularity became much more than his own.
