You may remember me -
I wrote about the records mentioned on Person-to-Person. However, I'm writing about the
new CD reissue "Ti Voglio Bene/Je'Taime." I can't find it in stores anywhere. Do
you know if it is only available through mail-order catalogues and places like CDNOW? I
even put in a special order at a very large record store called J&R, and they never
got it in. I have never seen it at Tower Records either. I may end up having to order it
by mail, but it is less expensive to buy it in person. I'm really surprised that I can't
find it anywhere. I got the newsletter yesterday, and there was a very nice handwritten
note on the envelope saying that hopefully I can make it to the Carnegie Hall concert.
Well, there is no worry about that. I saw a mention of it in Liz Smith's column about a
month ago, and I immediately called Carnegie Hall for the dates and to ask when tickets
would go on sale. That was about 11:25 in the morning; I was told that the tickets just
went on sale at 11:00 that day. Well, I immediately ordered two tickets - they're in the
eleventh row of the orchestra, I believe. I can't wait. I also noticed that Ms. James was
in my old hometown, Dayton, Ohio, at the Wright-Patterson Airforce Base. Did Ms. James
sing at the ceremony, as the newsletter article mentioned she might? Best wishes, David

I was introduced to Joni's music in
1957 by my aunt who loved singing her songs. She has such a unique voice -- I fell in love
with her too!! I've practically worn out my LPs from the millions of times I've played
them! I'm so happy to hear she's still around and going back to doing concerts -- I hope
to be able to attend one in the future. I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for
caring so much about this performer and that she has such a wonderful fanclub for her. I
recently was just fooling around in my computer and thought I'd look up the Internet to
see if there was anything on her (since anything and everything can be found on the Web!!)
I was exstatic to find a whole web page of information about her!!! This finding has truly
made me very, very happy!! I'm planning on joining her fan club and sending my aunt's name
as well!! Again, thank you!!
A Faithful Fan

I'm really happy that Joni has finally
released her "Ti Voglio Bene" and "Je T'Aime" albums on cd. It would
be great if we could get some of the singles that were never released on lp on cd. Like a
new hits cd. The quality of the cds is great. Looking forward to more.

Who is this Joni James person? I have
never heard of her. IS it a her? I mean, she COULD be a he named Johnny and you don't know
to spell. Maybe you mean HARRY James. But the photos sure don't LOOK like Harry James. Let
me know.
A possible fan
Joni, I fell in love with your singing
in 1953 while in the Army- still love you.
