greetings and salutations from Canukia, ;-)
Just saw the entire Shadows and Light on VHS last night and wanted to
say WOW!!! it is fantastic! If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to
check it out. How wonderful to see Joni and the boys play together.
Pat's solo was incredible... all the solos were..there is some magical
kind of chemistry going on between them all. I loved 'seeing' as well
as hearing the music.
any Jmdlers at the concert??? The audience was having a great time
dancing and singing along. :-))
I especially enjoyed the segment where Joni and Toller Cranston are
skating together!! I had no idea that Toller was on the video .. what a
wonderful surprise for this long time Toller fan. He remains one of my
favourite in the realm of Canadian ice skaters. I remember the noise he
made in the press as well as with the judges because he dared to push
the creative envelope to the extremes. Besides, he's damned good! A
fine skater, interpreter and dancer on ice.
I am reminded of the day after the Joni Tribute in Toronto when we
tried to find Toller at his gallery on Queen Street, but to no avail.
Oh well Toller, perhaps next time. I'd sure love to hear your Joni
stories.
Back to the video, I thought of our very own Bob M. when Joni sang
Amelia. In my mind, that will remain Bob's song. (Muller, you did such
a beautiful rendition of Amelia at the Fest two years ago...makes me
wonder what you have in store for us this year!?!?!?!)
Joni was fantastic throughout...so good to see her energy and the ease
with which she performs. Yes, I can well imagine the work that goes
into it, performance is never 'easy' and she can make it look as if it
is.
I was having a bad day and seeing this video gave me such a lift.
enjoying the summer weather finally, although I hear that we are in for
some wintry climes encore, a samedi. geeeze. C'est la vie en Canada.
Mags, the alien shiksa, trying on a joisey accent...heehee.
