What a great story. I was a teenager when I listened to Joni Mitchell. We are all aging, every day. I respect anyone who gets in front of an audience and tries.

Hope you’re doing well. I hope your children have visited a lot this summer.

I’m trying to get outdoors more, exercise and eat better. Challenging. But I will do it.

Sending a hug,

Annie

I'm doing okay. Yes, family has been in and out. Friends, too. But I do relish these quiet times when I can get some writing done!

Hugs back!

Lovely column. It was a very moving performance, including her delighted laugh at the end.

Yes, everything about it was so special. I'm glad I didn't miss it.

Thanks, she mattered. Loved her in the 60's, and 70's, and my favorite was Help Me, on her Court & Spark Album. I remember her at the Last Waltz with the Band. Always there for all of us to enjoy!

Beautifully put, Ramona. I too was a blubbering mess, as was one of my nieces when we spoke the next day. I am lucky to have seen Joni perform live twice in my life. And we are all so lucky to have been on earth in the same moment as Joni Mitchell.

It's amazing what an impact that performance has made on so many. It could only have happened because Joni made an impact on so many!
