Joni jams Newport '22
 

Man I wish I was there. That aneurism couldn't stop her.

Excellent.

'Amelia' is in my top ten.

Court & Spark is a Sunday morning favorite of mine.

An incredible talent, Joni.

Big fan of "Coyote" and "Passion Play".

Drove from Chicago to Memphis just to listen to ‘Ole Furry sings the Blues’ while starring at the statue of W.C.Handy.

She had to teach herself how to sing and play guitar again by watching videos of herself.
First performance in 20 years.

I didn't know that.

Her early albums were incredible, but Hejira just resonated with me. I graduated HS and was chasing the baseball dream and bought the cassette while on the road. As I have written here before, 'Amelia' was just perfect for my time and place. Two verses stand out:

Then your life becomes a travelogue of picture postcard charms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm

People will tell you where they've gone, they'll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really know
Where some have found their paradise, others just come to harm

She is a wonder.
