Adventures on the Web:

One of the most interesting sites on the Web is www.jonimitchell.com click here. It was started by a man named Wally Breese, who was diagnosed two or three years ago with colon cancer, and decided to commit himself to creating a site for Joni Mitchell, since he had been a collector and fan of hers for many years. The site is filled with good information, ranging from interviews with Tom Rush to TAB's and listings of her open tunings, to her art work, to articles on the women who introduced her to the dulcimer, and so on.

It has had even more impact than that. The site had so much information on it that it materially assisted Joni and her long lost daughter finding out about each other, and being reunited. It eventually became the official Web site, and Mitchell became friends with Wally Breese. Breese died early this year, but the site carries on. Thus the Web, still in its infancy, already has this kind of history in it. Just a little homage from one Web site to another.

Nice legacy of a music-lover to be able to connect that way in the face of his own impending demise....lot of grace in that acceptance.

Thanks, Peter.

Thanks for the link, Peter ( old jail buddy :)I am a Joni Mitchell fan of long standing and this is a great site. Being naturally lazy, I've found that I don't have to smurf the web at all, people here on the 'cat are always finding interesting sites for me. Thanks everyone :)

Thanks Peter T.
I am going through a deep Joni Mitchell phase, so this site you have posted is quite timely.
