My favorite Joni lyrics change depending on where I am in my life at that
moment.
I've always loved "Jericho" - "I'll try and keep myself open up to you, it
gets easier and easier to do." "Anyone will tell you just how hard it is to
make and keep a friend." "Let all these dogs go running free, the wild and
the gentle dogs, kennelled in me."
Another favorite is the "Crazy Cries of Love" - "In a back booth in an all
night cafe, two dripping raincoats are hanging..."
This line reminds me of a time Wally Breese and I went out to lunch on a
rainy day. We were in a back booth that had coat hooks and our coats were
dripping rain.
It's hard to believe that February 3rd marks the one year anniversary of his
passing.
"...so fast, like the turn of a page..."
