Hi all, Since a lot of pals here send mail to me directly (as opposed to through jm.com's links) I wanted to make sure you all know about my new email address (Rose, of course, found out first -- she's always on the job). I've decided to gradually extricate myself from the semi-evil clutches of AOL and dive into the hopefully not so semi-evil clutches of Mindspring.com. The new address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Poor Mosalm doesn't seem to get enough airplay). With luck, it'll help to minimize the implication that messages can be sent directly to Joni through the site. I get tons of "Dear Joni" messages from people (mostly more casual non-listers, I think) who don't read the disclaimer; I always feel sorry that I can't be more helpful when I receive their heartfelt messages. The only problem so far is that I keep typing "moslem" instead of "mosalm." I wonder if there are people scratching their heads in a mosque somewhere because they've suddenly started receiving messages with questions about Joni Mitchell! Next up: A long-overdue news item about David Lahm's wonderful CD, an update to the "Covered By" list (courtesy of Bob -- who could do better?) hopefully more info about Harbourfront (if anybody hears any news, PLEASE drop me a line!), and, finally, a much more comprehensive Record of Appearances, kudos to simon (alas, just a list for now, I'll try to make it searchable at some point). Sorry everything's so slow in coming. I'm not as adept at juggling my time as I'd like to be, life getting in the way and all that. Next couple of weeks, promise. I'm typing as fast as I can! Finally, I want to thank the many people on the list who have made very generous donations to "the cause" lately (with endless thanks to Ashara for holding it all together and keeping me sane). I couldn't keep this going without you! jj
