g'day from down under,sorry for forgetting to put name to post.garret asked which of joni's music I prefer and what else I listen to .let me start by saying that back in the early seventy's I became friendly with two canadian guys who had moved in next door to me,lets call them john and paul,because I was to discover that they had stowed away on a cruise ship from Europe. they asked me if I knew if ice hockey was played in oz,as it happened my boss had represented australia in speed skating at rome olympics and did in fact play for a team called St George dragons,after introductions they were very quickly added to the side which was made up of about five nationalities. One night after a great win over interstate rivals victoria quite a bit drinking and celebrating john who had a wonderful voice got up and sang a song new to every one there called twisted .the next day I asked him where he learnt it and who sang it.the rest is history.my first vinyl of Joni was m.o.a and I have eleven of her c'ds.as for Joni favs they change regulary,however hejira and court and spark seem to pop up on the player a bit more than the others. I am also a big prince fan,frank zapper,pink floyd,and of late Anita baker. While i'm typing I should also mention neil young,james taylor/carly simon etc, etc. the only video's I have of Joni are the last waltz and the wall,and would welcome any suggestion's as to what else is available! to finish up i would like to say that i consider it a privilege to be on this list. b.w.frank.
