Happy 70th Birthday Joni Mitchell

[troutman]

Great songwriter and underrated as a guitar player for her use of alternate tunings.

He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel
He was drinking for diversion
He was thinking for himself
A little money riding on the Maple Leafs *
Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves
She says let me sit down
You know, drinkin' alone's a shame
It's a shame it's a crying shame
Look at those jokers
Glued to that damn hockey game

My favorite song of hers.


Recently covered on, of all things, The Voice by James Wolpert.

I've always though that cover versions of her songs were better than when she performed them herself.

True, especially when she covers her own songs later in life.

I think her voice now is a great anti smoking ad.
