I love Ben Folds and Suzanne Vega... and it's a good cause, so I got my (front row) ticket  . And who knows... maybe Stevie will be there (since Joni's been such an influence). And Lindsey did record "Big Yellow Taxi" for that Joni tribute CD that never got released. And I'm thinking maybe Joni herself will be there; after all, the last two Joni tributes I attended (Central Park 1999, Hammerstein Ballroom in 2000), Joni came on at the end (in CP she couldn't remember the words to "Help Me"  ). I would simply DIE if Joni momentarily came out of retirement and performed a song or two with just her guitar. It ain't like she's up to anything else these days...
Anyone going?
