Joni Mitchell
b 7 Nov 1943
Joni and I go way back, although I can't for the life of me remember how or when I first came across her. Maybe it was Big Yellow Taxi and Woodstock in 1970 which would have got loads of play on the radio around that time. But again I think it was probably Leigh's brother's record collection to which I owe my early knowledge. Or perhaps it was Robin who introduced me, in fact I can remember The Last Time I Saw Richard featuring in relation to his older sister. So that would make sense.
 
I can remember buying the Blue album (or was it Ladies of the Canyon?) when I was working in the Midland Bank in Newport and that would have been 1977 I guess, which would have juxtaposed quite dramatically with my punk leanings at the time.
