	3:03pm WLSClark: Hi Vincent!
	♥ 3:03pm Sem: Hi, Larry, and all. That's some heavy lifting, covering Mitchell's love letter to Sam Shepard.
	♥ 3:03pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Larry and all other listeners!
	♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hi to Leslie, too!
	♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:03 Hi Sem!

	♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:03 Hey Andrew!
	♥ 3:04pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @3:03 Hiya Sem!
	3:04pm WLSClark: Hi Andrew and Sem. Gonna be getting cleaned up before traveling across town in an hour, but will be blaring the show.
	♥ 3:04pm Sem: Well, hello, AiT!
	♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:03 Heavy lifting covering ANY of this period!
	♥ 3:07pm Sem: Yes, an extraordinary period of perfect songwriting, in my opinion.Wore that Joni album out, totally.
	♥ 3:07pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & Co.
	3:07pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Dry Cleaner From Des Moines" by "Jessica Molaskey" She has some fun long song titles then like "In France they Kiss on main Street"
	3:07pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Song: "Dry Cleaner From Des Moines" by "Jessica Molaskey" Sounds an awful lot like Annie Ross. Need to look this one up...
	♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:07 Hey Brian!
	♥ 3:07pm Brian in UK: What-Ho, Sem by the Bay.
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:07 This album is all Joni covers. She's guitarist John Pizarelli's wife.
	♥ 3:09pm Brian in UK: Thought Jon was like the Who inasmuch as they were both 'uncoverable'.
	3:09pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:08 Nice! I love Joni covering "Twisted", so I can definitely see the influence.
	♥ 3:10pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Dreamland" by "Caetano Veloso" Saying that McGuinn does a passable cover on Cardiff Rose.
	3:10pm Erica: I'm here for the Joni Mitchell Show part 3.
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:10 Hi Erica!
	♥ 3:10pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:07 Brian, good to see you. Autumn's many garden imperatives, as you know, at times seem endless. I inadvertently opened up a new piece of ground and am paying the price. How are all the sentients there?
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:09 I would not agree with that. It takes a lot of careful work, but (as you'll hear today) it can be done.
	♥ 3:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:10 Did I mention that we have another ten rescue chickens. Leaves are falling, rain is persistent & so much pruning to do.
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 RESCUE CHICKENS!
	♥ 3:13pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:12 I bow to your superior knowledge.
	♥ 3:14pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 You had not mentioned 10 more chooks: did you build more coop?
	♥ 3:16pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:13 Yes, instead of going to the abattoir they get a home for a few years & we get some eggs.
	♥ 3:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:16 That's very cool!
	♥ 3:16pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:14 Should have written seven making ten all told. Two coops seems to be sufficient so far.
	♥ 3:22pm Brian in UK: ....and she was a great painter.
	♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:22 Yes! Did many of her own album covers.
	♥ 3:25pm doctorjazz: Love Joni-got one of those box reissue sets (I think there are 3, falling behind. Do have most of the albums as well).
	♥ 3:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @3:02 Hi Clark!
	♥ 3:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:25 I have the first two. Gonna ask Santa for the newest one.
	♥ 3:26pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Brian!
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: Robben Ford and Skunk Baxter with the guitar on this track
	♥ 3:27pm Brian in UK: Really appreciated her voice once the high register went & the cigarettes kicked in!
	♥ 3:27pm Brian in UK: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:26 Well, hello Andrew.
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:27 Listening to her late-period stuff it's amazing how the character of her voice changes, yet it's still HER
	♥ 3:28pm adamdoesit: Hi Rev. Larry and drummer streamers! I never listened to Joni before I started hanging out here. Now her words seem to slip from behind some magic door.
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ adamdoesit @3:28 Hey adamdoesit!
	♥ 3:29pm Funky16Corners: BTW, if you missed them, you can follow this link and search for the first two Joni shows I did covering her earlier years: wfmu.org...
	3:30pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello All. Enjoying the Joni!
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @3:30 Hey Kevin!
	3:32pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Edith and the Kingpin" by "Joni Mitchell" I discovered this one on Left Coast 70s, a station on Soma FM.
	♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:32 Streaming station?
	3:33pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:33 Yes
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Have you all seen the clip of Joni singing this in front of Dylan and Roger McGuinn at Gordon Lightfoot's house?
	♥ 3:35pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 Yes, a wonderment. Dylan speechless.
	3:37pm WLSClark: Hi Erica! Brian, Kevin, Adam.
	♥ 3:37pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 That was how McGuinn got Dreamland, I guess. Now, McGuinn is someone who deserves a profile before he passes. Such an influence.
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:37 Indeed, but also, by many accounts, a deeply weird guy
	3:41pm WLSClark: After so many had already proclaimed 1971's "Blue" as the definitive Joni Lp and then the 74 success of Court & Spark, one would wonder if Joni, now in her 30's by the period you are playing, did she get disillusioned by the lesser sales of these LPs and singles in this period when disco was totally sending radio and sales away from her direction.
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:41 I don't think she was ever concerned with sales, That was Geffen's department. Joni just kept on being Joni, getting more deep, and complicated, and out there. I saw her in concert in the early 80s, and she was still working to entertain the crowd, played the "hits", even did an Elvis cover.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: BTW Neil Young on harmonica
	♥ 3:44pm adamdoesit: ↳ WLSClark @3:37 Hi WLSClark!
	♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:41 I think she really IS what many claim to be but are not, that being an ARTIST
	3:47pm Erica: I noticed that after Court and Spark Joni's voice gradually deepened with each album.
	♥ 3:47pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 Agree, but an artist still has to eat (& smoke).
	3:48pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 I figured she would not be caring much about the money aspect. She sure was overjoyed to be at Newport last year finally. NOW, as her old beau Graham Nash sells his songs this week, one wonders if she would ever do that too? Certainly, Joni wrote most everything she recorded, while Graham wrote only probably 10% of the songs he recorded ALONE.
	♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:47 I don't think she ever wanted for cash. Royalties from covers of her songs, and big guarantees from labels for whom she was a "prestige" artist. Dylan and Miles Davis had the same kinds of deals
	♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: The "Both Sides Now" money had to be significant. So many covers, and one of them a big hit
	♥ 3:52pm Sem: Larry, thanks for playing these Joni pieces from these albums. Road mile markers to her ever-more exploratory career, to my mind.
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:52 My pleasure, completely!
	3:53pm Erica: 🐓🐔🐥
	♥ 3:53pm Brian in UK: Bok, Bok, Joni.
	3:54pm Erica: "I'm always talkin' bawk bawk bawk."
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: Settle in, this tune is an entire album side (at 16 minutes, anyway)
	♥ 3:55pm Yvang: Joni Mitchell, what a huge artist! Hi Larry! Hi testifyers!
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:55 Hey Yvang!
	3:57pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:54 Did a good imitation!!!
	3:58pm WLSClark: Hi Yvang!
	4:01pm WLSClark: Gotta head out but nice beautiful music, larry!

	♥ 4:21pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @3:55 Hi Yvang!
