My wife, Karen Hart, is a professional musician. Today, she met with JoEllen Lapidus to rehearse some Joni Mitchell songs for JoEllen’s upcoming album. JoEllen happens to be the woman who handcrafted all of Joni’s dulcimers back in the day.

Later, Karen and I went for lunch where she continued reading her book about women musicians from the late ’60s and early ’70s. She read aloud a passage about Joni’s birthday, November 7, 1943.

Today’s date? November 7, 2013.

Happy 70th, Joni!

And go round and round and round in the circle game.
