Kakki, What a wonderful, delightful, fantastic, dream-like experience!!!! I so envy you... and I've already met her. And here I was dreaming that somehow, somehow Kerry and Hellen would be the lucky ones to have the chance to meet her. We are all happy for you two. I smiled tonight in a way I haven't smiled in a long, long time. Someone please tell Michael and Vince what they are missing. (Mikes is only on list vacation, btw... he'll be back.)
I imagine we should all feel hopeful and optimistic that Joni will not abandon her gift of music and poetry!!!! I won't ask god for a favor on this one, because if I had a "freebie" it would go to all the suffering people in this world. And to those who died Sept. 11. Still, our lives would be enriched by Joni's creativity in such a special, unique way. I think Bob M's crystal ball was in fine form when he said the Christmas thingie would not happen. -Somehow, cheery song isn't what I see coming from Joni's pen. Rather, something with the deep heart of Blue and the reflective freshness of Passion play. Speaking of insider Joni material... I forget the name of the orchestra member who worked on BSN and attended the Saskatoon opening, but does anyone know if he's been asked to work on the new project??? It crossed my mind, that we could ask him to write something for the list from time to time about the recording sessions. Heck, I'd even offer to pay the guy something just to be in the know. We've never been lucky enough to have inside scoop on the development of a Joni project as it was being created. Maybe this could be a first? Anyway, just dreaming. -I will sleep very well tonight. Thanks Kakki.
