I was a huge fan of Joni when I was younger and this is very good news indeed ::::

One of my favourites was 'Woodstock'

I will raise a glass to her speedy recovery tonight!

[Baldric]

Good news indeed

[Lie-in King]

That is good news - thanks for that, Mikey :-)

[The Builder]

That is good news Mikey.

I'm going to indulge myself to celebrate here. She is well respected in the Jazz world too. Here, (late 70s, early 80s) from her Shadows & Light tour. Featuring the world's best sax player (Michael Brecker), top bass player (Jaco Pastorius), and her partner at the time on drums (Don Alias.)

Oh Mr Builder, that was very nice indeed! :-))

Difficult to choose a favourite...nigh on impossible actually but this comes close. The piano work alone makes this awesome. My friends and I wore our first LP of "Blue" ! It was one of the first CDs that I bought when I bought a CD player, back in 1983-4.

Please get well Joni !

Poor lady, it'll be a long process for her.

[Elina]

I had that album too Mikey.

[The Builder]

Somehow, I had an idea Mr King would like that :o)

Yep, Mikey, I wore out a copy of "Blue" as well ............ and an 8-track (remember them?)

[Elina]

Love all the tracks on that album but especially 'A case of you'

[The Builder]

"Canada, Oh Canada
I could drink a case of you
and still be on my feet .......... "

Ahhhhh ........

[Elina]

Yes, brilliant album.
