I agree! Deb Messling has contributed many, many, articles to the database
since its inception - certainly more than anyone else. Without Deb, the
database would be a fraction of what it is. And, I also want to credit
Jerry Notaro (hot on Deb's heals for the title of Official JMDL Librarian
:-) who also helps keep the article database fresh and growing.
And, at the risk of leaving many people out, I also want to thank the
amazing Judy Haugh and Les Ross. These two individuals have spent the last
few months typing up articles like they are going out of style. The
article database has grown by almost 100 articles since the beginning of
this year, due in large part to the finger work of these two. A number of
other people helped type as well, all of whom I will credit by name soon.
Finally, another exciting development in the article database is Lindsay
Moon's ongoing project of transcribing Joni's audio interviews. Among
others, she's done the entire WMMR retrospective, the "My Top 12" tape, and
the LACE "Amy Adler Curates Joni Mitchell" interview.
Check the database out if you haven't visited in a while.
