Loved her style and her lovely smile. Wonderful musician and person.

I was just working on a song tonight, "Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo for a young guitar student, and Toni's song Good For You, Too, popped into my head. I gave it a spin on youtube and it totally holds up! I bought her album back in '74 and there was a ton of great music on it.
