Up until then, his reaction was complex, especially regarding a fan's expectations vs. Joni's right to do as she wishes, and I could relate to and agree with much of what he'd written, but not at all with his conclusion.
As much as I've enjoyed John Kelly's shows, it's mostly because I realize while listening to him how deeply I love Joni's work, which is all so familiar I often take it for granted. The performance artist aspect of John's work is fun and impressive, but after one of his shows (and sometimes even during) I'm always eager to listen to the "real thing" again. I'd be very happy seeing Joni herself, even singing as she does now. There will never be a substitute for that experience. Debra Shea
