Why not tour with one roadie who can tune a guitar off stage whil she has one guitar in her hands and a spare in a stand right next to her. Three guitars - all acoustic. The roadie can't be THAT expensive, making touring unprofitable? Unless Joni is playing exclusively at 100-seat clubs like Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem, PA?
