	Joni has been my personal voice , guitar teacher and songwriting mentor since 1971. She is responsible for my musical direction and inspiration and vocal ability, having practiced to her recordings for years. My love for singing is my path in life and has led me to become a sound healer and performance artist. My partner, Billy Zanski and I have an African drum shop, art gallery and healing practice in Asheville, NC. Visit us at: www.skinnybeatsdrums.com.

	I'm nearing my 60th birthday, and Joni Mitchell is still constantly playing on my stereo, iPod, etc. No other musician has had such a profound effect on my life. I'm a photographer and a playwright. As I approach retirement, I've gotten up the courage to fulfill a dream. I'm writing a screenplay, a "biopic," on Joni Mitchell. She may never give me the rights to actually get it produced, but It's something I have to do. I just found this site. What a valuable source of information!

	Joni fan for 35 years. I'm one of several people who have written a song for or about her. It's on my myspace page (you'll have no trouble spotting which one it is!) http://www.myspace.com/grayhawkesongs Feedback always welcome Gray

	I have been a Joni fan since the tender age of 15, when i was given the "Blue" album as a birthday gift. That was in 1971. This wonderful artist, composer and unique human being has always spoke my heart to me, and still does.

	I have been a big fan of Joni Mitchell since 1970. I was only 15 years old when I started buying her albums and memorizing every song. I haven't had the time through the years to really learn her music, but now that I am 52 and approaching retirement, I plan to make this a creative pastime.

	Joni Mitchell is the best. I have enjoyed her music since 1975 when I first heard Hissing of Summer Lawns. I was so blown away, I started buying and listening to all of her albums. She inspired me to sing and learn to play the guitar. I joined the JMDL back in 1999 and then started my on Hejira that would take me to hell and back. I have gotten my life back on track with a heavy price to pay. Every day is a gift. In loving Memory of Jeremy Michael- love Mom My Michael from Mountains

	I was an Joni fan back when when I was learning to play guitar in 1970. I figured out all the early stuff and being the typical angst ridden teen, her music imprinted my soul. I lost interest when Joni started writing more jazz. Now of course I know better and appreciate her wild abandon. My husband Barry Cahill & I reconnected to Joni (and her fans) by attending our 1st JoniFest with Dave & Robin in the UK. WOW--what a blast! You can find us here: www.CahillandDelene.com

	Anglo-American writer and web developer. Joni's music was a part of my teenage years -- in the 1960s -- and as such it was indelibly written. I've missed portions of her career, but I've only got to hear a chord or a cover for the bond to be reformed. Now in midlife, I get to enjoy her music and all her art from a much more informed place while still maintaining that youthful connection. I wish I was Joni Mitchell. But I think I might have a bit of trouble pulling it off.

	Greetings from Asbury Pk, NJ..Half breed angel here. Joni Mitchel fan since 1990 when approached by a restaurant patron. "You sound like Joni"! I went out an bought her "Court & Spark" CD & was hooked. 10 years later, taught myself guitar, experimenting wi with all the luscious jazz chords from my new chord books. Check out my Joni MItchell-influenced tunes on www.indieheaven.com/artists/anitaferrer. She is my musical idol & I hope to influence this sad generation. LONG LIVE JONI!

	Stuck on Joni's early folk songs. I discovered her in college (1975 - 1978) and was never quite the same after that. I sure wish I knew of some way to hear her early unreleased recordings!

	Rolling through Saskatchewan into Alberta on the train in April '66, after a rough Atlantic crossing, I had no idea these were the fertile lands which produced Joni's genius. In '69 I was living in the village,Yorkville, Toronto, a stone's throw from the Riverboat, broke, sneaking in the back door to hear great songwriters and musicians honing their crafts. Joni's songs helped me open myself up to my emotions. She speaks to the motherless child in me, magical among the English wildflowers.

	A Joni fan from the get go. Spent the Summer of Love, 1967, at age 18, in NYC's East Village, and found Joni's music during that magical time, and have never left it. Attended Miles of Aisles at Radio City Music Hall, and a few of her rare concerts out here in California, where I've been for 35 years, San Francisco, to be exact!

	Hi everyone! I don't know how I can express my love for Joni... When she conquered my heart, 10 years ago (now I'm 27 y.o.), by her Music, her Poetry, her Wisdom, I've changed. My spirit began to talk to me through Joni's music. I'll try to put all my soul in my music, how Joni has teached me with her life, her paintings, her songs... I would to meet her one day, I hope it will be possible. I really thank you Joni, 'cause you changed my life, and your voice has woke up my soul. I love you so much. Antonello

	When I was a teenager ('66 - '73) Joni Mitchell was one of the artists I most admired - a gross understatement, there's no way to express what she meant to me back then. To this day certain songs hit me smack-dab in the middle of my old Boho Heart and make me have to pull off the highway if they drift in through my car radio unexpected. Joni's lyrics are a master's genius. Her base lines resonate like a genuflection on the ocean floor.
