Oh, Michelle. Thank you. Thank you. Shine on me smiling and time traveling at "Shine on ... Joni’s music and alluring lifestyle in her very very very fine house." Shine on me reading on, smiling, then teary, then laughing, then teary. Shine on the sister whose sister is forgetting. On the young usher. On your uncle and your father. Shine on me arriving at the end and weeping. On Joni who meant everything to an oh, but California teen. Shine on you, Michelle, for having the generosity to follow your brilliant impulse.
I didn't read any of the reviews; this shining reflection is all I want.
This is your best yet!
Thanks, Matt!
This is beautiful, Michelle.
Thank you, Richard. Wish I could have listened there with you.
Inspirational! 🙏
Thanks, Chuck. Joni's a fount of creative inspiration, of course.
Crying on the train now
To good crying in public!
One of your best
Thanks! I didn't include any references that'll get me a T-shirt this time. ;-)
Thanks for this bit of beauty. I almost felt like I was there. You are the real deal sister.
I'm so moved by this compliment, especially coming from you, Kate. Thank you!
one of the greatest concert reviews ever!
hyperbolic praise always welcome here! thanks Jesse

Andrea, I love this comment--perfect that a jazz musician would improvise on the theme.
Love!
Thank you!
Thank you, Karen, and congrats on the launch of your Substack!
Incredible writing -- blown away by your creativity and insight. Bravo, Michelle. One of the best "reviews" I've ever read.
Thank you, Laurie. If Joni can't inspire a little creativity, who can?
