Joni heading for 90

[Lat-Literal]

Takes me back to the time when one hoped what my area of Western youth learned from eastern spiritualities - before the term "appropriation" - would tie in with our revitalised take on radical socialism. A shame that too was a case of perceived priorities meaning taking sides.

I revise.

There's definitely Sagittarius in there.

Mine's due just before Christmas.

There's loads of bleedin' Virgo in there, though, too - lovely people, I like 'em, but oh to carry all the worrying.

Which makes her precisely 2 years and 1 day older than myself - something I hadn't previously realised.

Happy to you, S_A...hope it was, and continues to be, most enjoyable!

I remember hearing Joni on the radio all the time in the 1970s when I was a teenaged gasoline station pump jockey.

No doubt filling up the odd big yellow taxi!

At an improv session I participated in on Wednesday, the others agreed to play "Yellow Taxi" - the only tune they knew!

Surely they knew ‘Both Sides Now’ or ‘Woodstock’!

Fare enough!

Thanks, Joni. Fondly remembered 1970 BBC concert with an exquisitely rendered self-accompanied Klavierlied: For Free

I didn't ask!

Perhaps I should have said: knew how to play.

I love the version on Joni's live album from '74 with L.A. Express, 'Miles of Aisles', gurney...'Real Good for Free'

Well, I had to listen to both versions.

"Odyous of olde been comparisonis, And of comparisonis engendyrd is haterede" well, quite. Or, as I have also seen written 'comparisons are odorous'

I prefer the one gurnenanz posted - a little less worldly in her delivery, a little finer piano sound. And, to be honest, reminds me of when I first heard her.

I’ve just found a minidisc taken from cassette tape of her 1983 Radio 1 concert from Wembley - not brilliant sound as I recorded it at LP4 speed.
