it's carnival time across the land and i wonder if joni ever participated in them as a child? she must have
photo of my sister and I at age 7 and 5 in our carnival gear http://xoetc.antville.org okay okay you can barely see the skates oh, the days way back when when i used to be cute !!! i imagine she might have worn just such a costume as i and lined up against the wall for the obligatory photo op only she probably Enjoyed performing while i never did, never do though i love skating, love singing, love dancing there are so many of you on this list who sing in public i can do it, i have as recently as two years ago (musical theatre) but the only pleasure is in the rehearsals and the after-accolades sad but true i would love to hear how those of you who perform experience it why you do it why you do it why you do it i know joni didn't like performing for huge crowds (she mentions this in the life and times bio) but enjoyed the small venues has anyone heard her say more about this, other than that she started doing it in coffee houses because she needed the money and not because of some inner urge or desire or need? my idea of enjoyable "public" singing is a singalong where everyone sings and their is no audience, or singing harmonies in a closed studio.
