I can only imagine how Wally would feel if he'd been here to read the posts
of the last few days. Wally was a big fan of Laura Nyro who wrote, "We can
build the dream with love..." Wally and Les both built their sites to share
the wealth, beauty and love that is the art of Joni Mitchell.
I know that I am one of a large group who using a search engine for the first
time, typed in, "Joni Mitchell." This group does not include Bob Mueller who
had other things on his mind when he first logged on to the internet :-)
Our internet community, for me, has always been a sacred space, a special
place, if you will. A place where people understood, supported and
appreciated my enthusiasm for all things "Joni." Meeting other people who
share this passion, including Kakki and Ashara, was like finding an oasis in
the desert.
"We've got to get ourselves back to the garden."
"You and me, we're like America and Russia
We're always keeping score
We're always balancing the power
And that can get to be a cold cold war
We're going to have to hold ourselves a peace talk
In some neutral cafe..."
"Anyone will tell you, just how hard it is to make and keep a friend..."
"Lay down your arms..."
