HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY, JONI!Her BD was Tuesday, 11/7, a lucky number. She suffered a brain aneurysm in 2015, that left her unable to walk or talk. Or know how to play guitar. Miraculously, and after much hard recovery work, she made a surprise appearance at the Newport Folk Festival last year, and again at Hollywood Bowl last summer at the Wayne Shorter tribute (he was a friend), with a touching rendition of her "Circle Game," a few registers lower but full of emotion. She got a standing O, as soon as she came on stage. An astounding assemblage of jazz greats, a concert for the ages, but Joni stole the show with one song.
