Bump for Joni!
How about this line from the Hissing of Summer Lawns?
I pissed a tequila anaconda the full length of the parking lot
Lyric genius or flagrant nutbar.

Her guitar work is interesting, especially considering she must alter style from standard methods to compensate for the effects of polio.
True story:
My wife whad just purchased the "Blue" album right after it came out (in 1971 ?), She was sitting in the college student union at Edinboro (then college), PA reading the liner notes. Joni was still relatively unknown then in bumfu*k PA. A woman came up to her and said "I know her". My wife, thinking she meant she had "heard of her" said something like, "so, you've heard the album ?". The woman said, "No, I know her. I did not know she had an album." Apparently, she lived with Joni in some cave in Greece. She and my wife took the album home and listened, the woman describing several of the influences on the songs relating to her years in Greece. They have been friends since.

I'm a big fan of "Court and Spark." Great album. Also really like "Hissing of Summer Lawns".

Bump for recovery.
Little did I know of her recent aneurysm until today.
So many revere this lady's pipes and her class act.
Many ST posters had crushes on her, as you've seen here;
and they're gonna aim their hoses on you, Chief!
Let's keep her around a bit longer, God. Paradise can wait.

Joni grew up in both Saskatoon and North Battleford. My cousin went to school with her.
Check out the Shadows and Light DVD.

What a backup band!
Jaco had an affair with her and she wanted to have a kid with him for the musical genetics.
Jaco said something like "Why do you think the bass was so upfront in the mix?"
