I'm launching a new "Conversation" page today, as well as adding a brand new section to the Website.

My "Conversation" is with Ingrid Pastorius, widow of Jaco Pastorius, famed bass player who has excelled on solo albums as well as on records as a member of the group Weather Report. Jaco is most famous to Joni-philes because he played his amazing bass on four of her albums in the late 1970s. Ingrid is a lovely and gracious woman and I enjoyed talking with her so much.

I'm also launching a brand new section on the JMHP called the "Shop." [obsolete]. On this page, you'll be able to see what momentoes are for sale. The Internet Community shirts, exclusive photos of Joni in concert, and two original illustrations of Joni are all now available. One third of all proceeds from these items will go towards helping to pay expenses here on the JMHP (except for the shirt offer which is handled by Les from the JMDL. In this deal, one half of any profits will go to each of the two sites.)
