A few weeks ago or so someone wrote a post about the view from her office window overlooking the lake in Madison. She also said that she always thought that the cover/liner photos must have been shot there. Well, I always thought so too. Joni had appeared there at UW in February, 1976 and Joel Bernstein was with her. I know because I was in grad school and went to the show. There's more to the story but I won't go on about that now. Anyway, the concert wasn't even listed on the "appearances" section of the official website. I did more research and it was the last concert of that tour, 2/29/76. So last night I'm reading Shadows and Light (the book) which finally arrived after purchasing from ebay and there's this whole thing about how Joel Berstein took those pictures on the lake in Madison. Everybody left and they stayed on in Madison. They were staying at this hotel on the lake. I believe it was called The Edgewater but I haven't been back to Madison in 26 years. So if you were the person that wondered about the cover, that was Joni skating on your lake and if you know the person who wondered please let me know so I can email her w/ my whole great story of that Joni in Madison experience.
I wish I had a river (but it ended up being a lake) I could skate away on. Andrea
