My dearest Sharon et al, Yet another something we have in common. I have
NEVER seen Joni in concert either and I'm realising I probably never will.
I'm never in the right place at the right time. The right bleeding
hemisphere come to think of it. I'd go out of my way to avoid seeing Dylan,
alas. He is so-o-o-o painful these days. However, I'd walk a million miles
for a Joni gig even if she were to end up sounding like Stephen Hawking.
I've never been an ardent concert goer actually, though having said that I
just got back from 2 nights at the Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow.
It's billed as the biggest winter folk festival in the world. The first
night I saw Alison Brown, a banjo player from Nashville, I think, and last
night The Indigo Girls. They were fab. An all-woman band, surprise surprise!
I recognised a few of the songs only because whenever I've listened to
custom MSN radio (Joni), they were always featured. I was hoping they would
do a Joni song but ... This Tuesday Diana Krall is playing in Glasgow and
well maybe she will slip in a "A Case of You". Dream on dream on, Impossible
Dreamer. A JoniFest is the next best thing. The lights go down and it's just
JMDLers up there getting JMDLers to feel like that.
