Ladies of the Canyon and Clouds early 1972 ... then everything as it came out - within weeks, if not days of release ... everything (except compilations (save Travelogue) and Hits and Misses - never purchased any). Always LPs until NRH - first CD. Picked up STAS in 1974. Hatbox Both Sides Now - only collector type Joni thing I ever got. Loved Blue, FTR, MoA, LOTC, THSL C&S upon first listen ... think DED is a warhorse and a great album - who cares if the production isn't timeless? Others - -especially Hejira (now clearly one of my favourites) grew on me, but never CMIRS or TI.

I thought that "Both Sides Now" and "Blowing n The Wind" were from Woody Guthrie's generation. They seemed perfect nd timeless, like hymns. I read an article in Rolling Stone that said that the next hot category f pop music was a newly-minted phrase, "singer-songwriter". I already ad "Sweet Baby James", so I thought RS might be on to something. I had seen Joni's name on the credits for "Tapestry" and began to onnect the dots. My Dad was a bit of a jazz fan and I had heard ambert, Hendricks and Ross. It was around that time that I saw the .A. Express open for George Harrison in Toronto. I was buying lots of Ps then but I think it was not until 1974, when I bought my first JM lbum, Court and Spark. When I realized that the same woman who covered nnie Ross also wrote "The Circle Game", I knew she was worth pursuing. went backwards and forwards from there but I kept buying other artists oo. I was following the careers of ELP, Yes, and Carole King back then. It wasn't until I joined the JMDL that I realized how close I was to aving her whole catalog. Eventually, I bought "STaS" and "CMiaRS". I ave all of Joni's compilations, and studio releases. I have both live lbums but I don't have the Greenpeace album. I think that's the only hing missing.

The Paprika Plains most definitely stretch down from Canada into the orthern U.S., particularly into western North Dakota and eastern ontana. nd yes, numerous Plains Indians tribes made -- and still make -- their omes here.

While I occasionally listen to certain cuts from these releases, I have to admit that I fell off the Joni train after Hejira.

I started with the other interpreters: Tom Rush and Judy Collins. At this oint, I can't recall which one I heard first but I do recall when I earned that someone else had written these songs that I loved. I was at a om Rush concert. Joan Something. So I picked up "Song to a Seagull" as soon as my meager earnings would llow. And I bought every album after that until "Don Juan's Reckless aughter". As may be suggested by my history, I was more of a "folkie" han a jazz fan so her evolution eluded me. A few years ago, in a dark period, I returned. I picked up "Turbulent ndigo" and was brought back under her spell. I have sought to complete my ollection of everything and anything. And as I await Leonard Cohen's latest release, I still would love to find omething else in CD bin from that girl from Saskatoon.
