John and Bob come on now you guys...stop making Brei and I cry..it's not fair..
okay taking up the challenge.
coming back at you with...
always first and foremost in my birthmotherly mind...
I would have loved to have been there in the room when Joni first heard Kilauren's
voice...hey Joni Ive been where you were and it is the THE most precious moment of all
time.
(and to tell her I understand, deeply, how that felt, how it feels, still and I would
tell her that I know, this is something that you never ever get over).
I wish we could have been in a better position so that we could have been in the first
or second row in Toronto at the Hommage for Joni because Ive always wanted to "see"
and "hear" her from close up. I am truly honoured that we were there, but row 19 just
wasnt the same as being up close and personal. Not that I would ever know what to say
to her however, just to see her, to lay eyes on the person who's life and music has
meant so much to me and to us... well. big sigh. One day, one day.
I wish I could tell Joan that she is responsible for keeping me glued together during
my very own Little Green story.
I wish I could tell Joan that she is responsible for "us" , finding the love of our
entire life, which keeps getting better, yea, do you believe that?? its twue its
twue!!!!!
I wish I could tell Joan that she is valued, loved, admired, honoured beyond any words
.
I wish she knew even an inkling of the impact that she's had on so many, many of us
I wish I could tell her how incredible it was that we heard her play piano on that
stage in Toronto in 2001..how beautiful she played, from deep within her heart and
soul...and she said her piano chops were rusty!!!
and from my beautiful Brei
I wish I could tell Joni thank you for everything, for all these years ...
love always ,

accurate,
correctly-ordered list would take forever...so here's some rambling "wish I
could have been there" moments:
1. To see her reaction when Kratzman gives her back her paper with all her
cliches & banalaties circled, and tells her to write in her own blood. Just
to see the initial beginnings of her determination to let her genius reach
the surface upon this life-altering challenge.
2. The sessions for Blue, particularly cutting the title track.
3. The exact moment she figured out that chord progression to Hejira, you
know, that very first chord change.
4. The first time she ever got a standing ovation playing in public.
5. Her performance at Isle of Wight.
6. Her creation of the concept of HOSL.
7. Writing the lyrics to "Don't Interrupt The Sorrow".
Yeah, I could die happy...
