I would like to share little story if I could that has reinforced my belief that if everyone does a little bit it can make a difference in the world.
back in January and February of this year when
city streets were empty and people were all staying indoors I spent a bunch of time watching musicians on youtube. there are many that I like and enjoy. but for inspiration I think Joni Mitchell is fantastic and has given the world a wide range of great music including one of the first environmental songs, big yellow taxi.
anyway I saw a few videos from the Kennedy Center awards gala. I thought wow joni and all the music and
art she has given the world is deserving of that honor.
so I wrote what I think was a quite compelling note to the Kennedy Center committee nominating her for the award, anyone can do this on the Kennedy Center web site.
then, as I would watch youtube videos with joni in them, in the comments section I wrote if you feel as I do about joni, nominate her for Kennedy Center award.
I dont know if what I did really had any effect but it was announced back in late July that Joni Mitchell will be honored at Kennedy center gala affair in December , this year 2021.
here is one joni
video I think is great
