So each year that I’ve gone to Sun Valley, there’s been that moment when Johnny is stepping onto the ice to perform and I’m glancing around at the audience thinking, Will this play well here . . . ?

Three Minutes in Black and White

When Johnny is on the ice, I think I can look into Johnny’s soul. . . . I could watch Johnny skate and never jump. — Patti Weir

Once again Sun Valley proved to be worth every mile traveled by car, airplane, kayak, snowshoe, pack mule, sherpa, and on foot, which BTW I believe are all the modes of transportation Johnny used to actually arrive there last Saturday—nearly 24 hours later than planned, and with bonus random stop in Grand Junction, CO, for apparently no reason at all other than to make sure that he arrived back in SLC just in time to miss his second booked flight to Sun Valley Friday night. OK then.
