dear ashara, thankyou so much for your thoughtful welcome...you obviously do
so much for people...it is
a pleasure to find caring people of like mind and creativity
in such a sometimes fractured world...i would describe this as a grace you
display...i would also estimate and value the courage it takes to show such
commitment it takes to host
a jonifest...i would like to come...i'm thinking about it...also about the
expense of coming 3000 miles away! when i have some other journeys to take
this year...i have a great friend at u.mass amherst on the faculty, henry
geddes, a fine musician, raised in peru, a lot of latin talent...hope you
visit my 'alberta' site at,

joni's a real influence, but not imitation....identification though is
valuable...and i see this in you and many of the jmdl members...do you play
yourself?...what's your homepage?...are there members in the west i can have
coffee with this year...i'll be driving through the western states...way to go
ashara..."applause, applause - life is our
cause"...
