Hi Rocky, First of all, welcome to the List. I hope you'll find a home here. It's a great place. Now..... thank you for your touching post about your late friend, Barbara Bonnell. I love stories about the early days and yours was beautifully written and... like I said... touching. Most of the Listers who knew Joni in the coffeehouse days knew her in Detroit. I hope that your post will "surface" some more folks and maybe even some early recordings! Take care and welcome home, Lama PS. If you're interested in the coffeehouse days, you might like to hear Joni recorded in 68 on some of the tape trees. If you post a request, you may find someone in Canada who can spin them for you. (I would but can't afford the out-of-country postage now.)

The mother was shorter, kind of looked like Ma Kettle. Characters.<
