What comes across here (to me) is that Joni senses how nervous the interviewer is and she reacts to it with kindness and generosity. And, at the same time, it seems to relax her, and allows her to riff on art and music in a very cool way.

i worked with joni in london during the promo for dog eat dog in 1985, the only time i was nervous/starstruck during 20+ years in the music business - she was full of grace and had incredible presence

Joni's voice is so mellifluous. I could listen to her talk for hours just to hear the sound, the overall tone of her voice. Having grown up in Michigan, I always loved the Canadian accent anyway, but Joni's light and brightness adds something extra to it.

Sometimes I hope that the more I hear Joni speak, the more i absorb her intellectual way of speaking, such wit and a way with words. This is why she’s an amazing artist.

You can tell how deeply Joni's dedicated herself to literal arts even just by the way she talks casually. In today's awkward music we don't get that exquisite vocabulary in an abundant scale, and some are stupid enough to criticize a delicate selection of lyrics for being contrarian, which I really feel sad about, despite the fact that occasionally they do have a valid point, when it comes to those people not knowing how to properly word but tending to pretend. But Joni's really a rare great lyricsmith and her work is poetic.

I will defend Jeff to the death, he was thrown at this with very little experience, which does, in fact show. But we were a dumb little show in Covina getting a surprise "YES" to an interview we requested. I will always think of this as gold. Jeff might have been nervous, but it didn't hinder Joni at all, because she spoke interesting stuff. Sorry, protective I know.

Oh, straight out. . . I am as gay as gay can be. But I certainly without any hesitation can see and hear just how so many men found her so captivating. I've loved her music since I was far too young to even know her name. I bet she is a truly incredible person to know and share conversation with. You rarely encounter people who are so dedicated to their art (in the forms that resonate with them) and who are able to express themselves easily about the things they think about. There is no pretension, just authenticity, and that too is so very rare. I only wish today's generation recognized just how valuable she is and has been to music, and the inclusion of women within the industry.

Covina is a small city out in sort of the outskirts of Los Angeles, slightly north-east from Downtown LA. I just wouldn't think Joni would go to of all places, unexciting, Covina. I mean, its a nice city, but its Joni... in Covina? Hope Mr. Getz isn't offended... its just rather odd an funny, its as if Joni was oh I don't know... also happened to one day also be in... Cudahay or... Montecito Heights :^D g
