Listener comments!
	3:00pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Larry and all other listeners!
	3:00pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andrew!
	3:02pm doctorjazz: I got the urge for going, bit I'm still right here... Hi Larry and Testifiers!
	3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	3:03pm doctorjazz: The Tom Rush version of this is the Gold Standard.
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: The first one I heard
	3:05pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there doc.
	3:06pm doctorjazz: Hey Andrew! Love this Van Ronk, gets a somewhat overplayed tune some freshness.
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: Beautiful version
	3:08pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Present... trying to make good on my promise to get the records off of the floor :)
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey Vincent!
	3:09pm Erica: Hi Larry.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	3:10pm doctorjazz: Got to see Van Ronk once (I have no idea why, didn't really know much about him at the time, must have been a better informed friend). Was a fun show, long, long ago.
	🥁 3:11pm Brian in UK: Larry, is this the way forward? I hope so.
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: I never got to see him in person, but Van Ronk has always been a fave singer of mine
	3:11pm Sem: Larry! Joni! Ideal pairing.
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hi Brian! Sem!
	🥁 3:15pm David Shortell: Which version of "Chelsea Morning" was in Martin Scorsese's "After Hours"?
	🥁 3:20pm Brian in UK: George Hamilton's birthday tomorrow?
	🥁 3:21pm Brian in UK: Larry, I never got to see Phil Ochs live, got to live with it.
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: HI David!
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: @David - I don't know which version. I haven't seen the movie in years
	🥁 3:24pm WR: Hi Larry and Testifiers! Was struck how much the photo of Joni Mitchell in the Drummer email this morning echoed what she looked like for her recent Newport Folk Festival performance.
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR! That was a 1964-era pic where she's holding either a ukelele or a tenor guitar
	🥁 3:28pm David Shortell: What was the deal with that psychopath Yogi Joe who harassed Joni at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival?
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: I don't know. I've seen that film, and she recovered nicely considering how antithetical that mudpit was to her vibe
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: The melody to this song is so goddamned haunting, and the lyrics are deeply sad
	3:34pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Read the book "Girls Like Us", which is a three way bio of Joni, Carly Simon and Carole King... kind of difficult to follow because the author jumps between subjects a lot, but still an interesting read.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: I still want to get that. I have a biography of Joni but it's not very well written (considering what an interesting life she's led)
	3:37pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I went through a phase of audiobooks for a while back in 2008 or so, soaking up lots of biographies. I may launch an audible account one of these days and get back into it.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: I can't deal with audiobooks. my attention span isn't built for them. My wife goes through them quickly.
	🥁 3:39pm Brian in UK: 1970 at the Royal Festival Hall. Might have been her first appearance over here. Bit too young to appreciate it fully.
	🥁 3:40pm WR: So far I've only bought the Vol. 1 Joni Mitchell archives. Has anyone read the Joni biography: Joni: the creative odyssey of Joni Mitchell by Katherine Monk? Just put it in my queue at the library.
	3:40pm Vincent The Soul Chef: @Larry: I'm the exact opposite. Despite being able to read since I was four, I find it hard to focus on words in a book. I want to look at the entire page, causing me to lose focus
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: I have Vols 1&2, both greatm=, but I eagerky anticipate Vol 3, getting into the electric years. I haven't seen that bio
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: @Vincent - I think I have a deeply ingrained need for paper books. I don't do well with e-books, either
	3:44pm doctorjazz: I did see Phil Ochs once in a Village club. He talked more than he played, not too coherent, seemed depressed. Couldn't predict what happened, but wasn't shocked when I heard.
	🥁 3:44pm Brian in UK: Got mixed feelings about any biography. Auto or otherwise. Saying that I am reading a second one of Stefan Zweig.
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: @WR - I just ordered that book
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I think after a certain point in the 70s Ochs was on an uninterrupted downward slide, mentally
	🥁 3:47pm Brian in UK: doctorjazz, you cannot account for your heroes. Just bought tickets for Dollar Brand in Cardiff this October. Yipee!!
	🥁 3:51pm WR: I'm ok with audio books if I'm travelling, which is very rare the last few years. Otherwise I strongly prefer paper. I have some ebooks but have not had much success at reading them. Doc, I would very much have liked to see Ochs, but I understand, except early on, that it would likely be a happy sad encounter. When I saw Van DyKe Parks a few years ago, while acknowledging the sad ending, he spoke very positively about working with him.
	🥁 3:52pm Brian in UK: I always had difficulty with Joni's high notes. But from Court & Spark onwards the cigarettes had kicked in.
	3:52pm doctorjazz: Abdullah Ibrahim will be at a club in NY end of August, but I'll be out of town that week, very sad (not about vacation, but of definitely see him again if I could).
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: I'd like to spend a week or two interviewing Van Dyke Parks, about his own music and his collaborations
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I marvel at her spectacular range and control.
	3:54pm doctorjazz: I used to have trouble with her vibrato, but I've grown accustomed to her voice.
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: Interestingly, one of her early influences was Buffy Sainte Marie, with one of the most powerful vibratos in Canada!
	🥁 3:56pm WR: Wow, I might try seeing Ibrahim. Have not seen him. Larry, Parks was very personable and open when I saw him. He warmly invited people to come chat with him at the merch table after the show. Unfortunately it was a weekday night and my partner wasn't willing to hang around. He used to be active on Twitter, I don't use it much so haven't noticed if he still is.
	🥁 3:56pm Brian in UK: WR VDP produced Phil's last album beautifully. The only one where he reflected on his life & my favourite. His brother Michael made the comment that when you are singing so much about other peoples troubles you are avoiding focusing on your own life.
	3:57pm Andrew in Toronto: Mr. Parks is still active on Teitter.
	3:58pm Erica: Twitter you mean?
	🥁 3:58pm Brian in UK: Andrew, I have belatedly responded.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: VDP once liked my response to one of his tweets, about much I liked his brother Carson's original version of Something Stupid. Big day for me
	3:59pm Erica: What is Teitter?
	4:00pm Andrew in Toronto: Yikes. Twitter.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: Like Twitter but tighter
	🥁 4:00pm Brian in UK: All the cool cats are Teittering. (on the edge)
	4:01pm Sem: hand covering mouth, teittering
	🥁 4:02pm Brian in UK: TYPOS RULL
	4:03pm doctorjazz: I didn't like Buffy St Marie's wide vibrato either, no that you mention it. WR-he's not as energetic as he was years back (who is-not I), but i'd still strongly recommend catching him. He's at The Blue Note 8/23-8/28 (I'll be in the Berkshires).
	4:05pm Mike Sin: Very much enjoying the show. When I was much younger, Joni Mitchell, very much like Dylan, was one of those artists that I came to after hearing so many cover versions of their great songs.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: I love the version of this sung in Alice's Restaurant, at the funeral.
	4:09pm Funky16Corners: I'll be 60 in a few weeks, and it's taken me nearly 50 years to understand as much as I do about Joni Mitchell (meaning I know there's more work to be done, though it seems unfair to call it "work")
	🥁 4:12pm Brian in UK: Larry, the very thought that a woman can sing about emotions in a sophisticated manner. A door opener.
	4:13pm Erica: Getting up there huh Larry? Well I'll be sure to prepare something for you for your birthday.
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: Her many gifts blow my mind. It amazes me that there can be so much talent in one person.
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - It never stops, until it does. Just happy to be breathing.
	🥁 4:14pm Brian in UK: Graham Nash seems like a decent fella.
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Larry, member thought I'd say/think it, but you're a youngster to me.
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Yes, he does.
	4:15pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I could listen to this LP over and over again and never get tired of it <3
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - My Pop turned 91 this June. I hope I'm as sharp as he is when I get there.
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: @Vincent - Me too
	4:17pm doctorjazz: There's that vibrato...
	🥁 4:18pm WR: Thanks Doc, for pointing out the Ibrahim at The Bluenote. That's pretty soon, guess I need to decide and get tickets soon.
	4:19pm Erica: Here's a bit hit right here. Big Yellow Taxi.
	🥁 4:19pm Brian in UK: Paradise is a place where nothing ever happens.
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: Trump's brain is NOT paradise
	4:20pm Erica: Lol Larry. You love making fun of the Orange Cheeto still.
	🥁 4:20pm Brian in UK: Larry, is this your longest set ever?
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: 24/7/365
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I don't know. It's possible.
	🥁 4:22pm Brian in UK: The prolific nature of artistes in the late 60s never ceases to amaze.
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: I forget who it was, but one of the big rock bands of the era, and I recently saw that they had released two major albums in the space of a year. Sometimes three.
	4:24pm Erica: Larry if you love Jimi Mitchell's voice you should check out the late Caroline Peyton. She had a couple of folk albums from the 70s as well.
	4:25pm Alex In Illinois: Finally, a version of this song in which understand each word.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Alex! Right?
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I don't know her. I'll look for her stuff.
	4:27pm Erica: With that being said, I haven't heard Joni's music since it was pulled from Spotify along with Neil Young's and CSNY.
	4:31pm Erica: @Larry Caroline's music is mostly acoustic folk and high range vocals. I recommend hearing Try to Be True. There are 2 different versions of it though, one being a demo.
	4:38pm Andrew in Toronto: jonimitchell.com
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: Joni and Cass were close friends, both, literally, Ladies of the Canyon
	4:43pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Ellen! <3
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Love her voice so much
	4:48pm Sem: Two hours of something like bliss. Thank you, Larry.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: The three albums that Gloria Loring recorded between 1967 and 1970 are all great.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Sem!
	4:49pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a great show!
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening Andrew!
	4:52pm doctorjazz: Thanks, loved the show Larry! Laters all!
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!
	🥁 4:53pm WR: Surprising to me, really liked that Noel Harrison recording.
	4:54pm Funky16Corners: I did a whole show dedicated to Noel's music a while back. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised by a lot of it
	4:54pm Funky16Corners: wfmu.org...
	🥁 4:56pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Larry.
	4:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: So good. Thank you.
	4:56pm Erica: Thank you for the Joni Mitchell show Larry!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone!
	4:58pm drowsy: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 4:58pm WR: Thank you! Larry!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys!
