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.

Yes, they could have given a bit more volume to her mike, everyone in that situation is very professional. Surely, she can't sing like she did when she was young, but she can sing his own way and choose the good song she wants of course!
      Yes Joni, sing it Your way!
      I have only one regret that I never saw her live in concert. In my country (Italy) she was only in the 80s and at that time I couldn't go to listen to her.

    Just wow! I discovered Joanie after watching the PBS American Masters documentary 20 years ago. I was too small a child when she was big to have caught her in her heyday. But her music is timeless, classic. I downloaded & occasionally came back to her performances through these tumultuous years. Last year, watched YT vids of Brandi bringing her back before the public. The transformation is incredible & miraculous!!! Thank you Brandi! May Gd continue to bless both you & the inimitable Joni with renewed strength, energy, & love, for years to come!!!

      Her "sense of intonation" and "feeling for the lyrics" haven't changed at all.
      I think they could have given a bit more VOLUME to her mike ?
      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 ???

    I discovered Joni around about the same time I discovered David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust. Court & Spark and the Rise and fall.of Ziggy Stardust were my early teenage years. I play both frequently to this day. I'm 63
