    It's great to see how much Joni and her voice have come back. She's leaps and bounds above where she was just last summer in Newport. Now I find myself thinking/hoping there's still another album (or three) to look forward to in the future. "There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty... before the last revolving year is through." She couldn't have picked a more inspiring lyric for the occasion.

      @@susanjohnson2068 I hear where you're coming from and have had some of the same concerns, but I think Joni probably needed Brandi there to smooth out some of the rough patches when she started performing again. I imagine Brandi provided emotional support as much as vocal support... it can't have been easy for Joni to get back on stage after all she's been through. But with Joni's voice coming back, and her health apparently better than anyone would have expected it to be at this point, perhaps Brandi can now step back and let Joni have the stage to herself.

      Think she "meant" she could hold those notes out for eighteen beats and hit high C anymore ???
      A singers voice age that alto deepens, and the soprano starts to waiver.
      Good songs for her to choose today.
      Joni, Judy, Joan, Dolly, and Reba, all withing four years of each other and still arranging songs-

      Judy Collins is 84, and doing a concert at Solana Beach, CA, Feb. 29-Some people stop performing, but not Judy and Joni.
      This was an extremely good grouping of well organized musicians.
      When she "said" she "couldn't sing anymore',
      I think she "meant" she couldn't hold those notes out for eighteen beats and hit high C anymore ???
      A singers voice age that alto deepens, and the soprano starts to waiver.
      Good songs for her to choose today.
      Joni, Judy, Joan, Dolly, and Reba, all withing four years of each other and still arranging songs-
