I've received an avalanche of email today about "An All Star Tribute to Joni Mitchell," which aired last night on TNT. The response has been overwhelmingly positive—all I can say is it's about time. Congratulations to the performers, TNT and Automatic Productions for honoring Joni with this well put together (and sometimes very moving) program. And, although I guess it goes without saying, thanks forever to Joni for making it all possible. Seeing Joni get something back for all the gifts she gives to us brings joy to the heart of many a Joniphile.

I also got a lot of email from disappointed folks who somehow missed the show (mostly due to uncooperative VCRs) and are hoping it'll be on again. The good news is that the show will be rebroadcast late Wednesday night (well, actually it's early Thursday morning), at half past midnight. Always check local listings to make sure the broadcast time is the same in your area.

Another big email topic: hopes that the concert will be available on video or CD. I'm checking into this and will let you know what I find out.
