I totally agree here. I think Joni has always openly acknowledged Bob's
contribution to song-writing etc. but I think even without his influence,
that creative muse would have been too much to hold back. Hasn't she said
she started singing to pay her way through art-school? I imagine that would
have happened regardless of who else was writing at the time.
