I'm not sure if the rest of this songs were recorded at the same time (for what I found it's not by the same translator), but that might be the case. It's not you that can't see the videos, unfortonatly it's just a photo.

We have BSN's in probably 30 different languages. The most recent one I picked up was a German-language version of "Shadows & Light". Haven't heard it yet, it's waiting at home for me when I get there. One of my favorites was an album that had (3) Joni covers in Estonian. Anyway, Chava recorded "Carey" in Hebrew back in 1973. There are a couple other Israeli Joni covers, can't recall them off the top of my head. Nuriel brought them to my attention way back when. Can't see the YouTube videos, I assume they're live performances?

Maybe not a 'recycling' charge, but I can hear a few echoes of "Just Like Me" in "Night In The City" - http://youtu.be/KCLOMBbRVB0 and "The Way It Is" in "The Dawntreader" http://youtu.be/4qC7Ls6ixJQ very best PaulC NP 'You Can Discover' by Cheryl Wilson with John Martyn - -from the forthcoming John Martyn tribute album - http://blip.fm/~15ygwj ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2011 08:07:29 -0400 From: Gerald Notaro Subject: Betty Ford - njc Rest in peace, Mrs. Ford. Her courage and strength touched everyone affected by addiction and breast cancer. Her support of Freedom of Choice, ERA, and gay rights took tremendous fortitude.

Au > contrere, it was largely about the variety. > Hi Bob, Depends on your definition of recycling. I understand it as patterns that bloom again and are perceived as style, kind of like facial features shared among relatives. Even with Joni's variety throughout the years, her sound and lyrics have recycling going on so that people recognize them as Joni. I think Betsy made some excellent observations, and her use of the word "recycling" was brilliant. Love, Laura ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2011 11:48:28 -0400 From: "Richard Flynn" Subject: RE: Recycling? From Betsy's post:"I would argue that The Circle Game and Little Green have very similar chord structures in the same tuning, with similar picking routines, and were likely written at more or less the same time. There, she released two very similar songs, musically." There is at least one unofficial recording in which Joni does Circle Game and Little Green as a medley. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2011 12:49:34 -0400 From: Gerald Notaro Subject: Christine Ohlman - njc Many of you remember the stunning Both Sides Now that Christine Ohlman performed at last year's Pazfest in New Orleans. Also known for her fabulous BeeHive, she has a new DVD coming out called Live Hive. It is only $14.99 on preorder from Amazon. Give a look and order a copy to support this great and generous talent. http://www.amazon.com/Live-Hive-Christine-Ohlman/dp/B0054DPLY8/ref=sr_1_10?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1308977924&sr=1-10 Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2011 16:41:26 -0500 From: T Peckham Subject: Re: Electric Eden Thank you for both reviews of what sounds like a very interesting read!
