I thought that in the initial reporting of the sale of her guitars, it was 
said that she was getting rid of these old instruments and was purchasing new 
guitars.  Did I imagine this?  Have I been erroneously imagining that Joni 
was returning to the acoustic guitar for another round?

Also, there was a segment about Wolman Rink on the Discovery Channel Today.  
Apparently, it was closed in 1980 for a 12 million dollar renovation.  Six 
years later, with the money spent, the city of New York had not completed the 
project, and the work that had been done was a shoddy mess.

Donald Trump stepped in and brokered a deal to complete the project for 3 
million.  The planned 4 month renovation was completed in 3 months and under 
budget at 2.25 million!  He owns the rink concession rights, but donates 
those profits to charity.  He said he took on the project so that his 
children would be able to enjoy the fun of ice skating before they got too 
old.

Wonder if Joni ever skates there when she's in NYC.
