Jeanette Campbell, the former owner of the MainPoint in Bryn Mawr (Philadelphia area) passed away last Friday. The MainPoint was the region's premiere showcase for singer/songwriters - a proving ground for artists such as Tom Waits, Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, Eric Andersen, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, and many others. Jeanette and her husband ran the place for years until it closed down in the '80's. Joni played at the club in November of 1968, one of her last club dates before stardom propelled her into larger halls.
