Richard, Sorry for not addressing this sooner. Occasionally I save a JMDL message(s) intending to respond or comment, later. Often after a period of time has passed anything I have to say no longer seems relevant or interesting. In other cases, life goes on and I just never get around to it and eventually delete the saved message. However, in THIS case there IS some music and information to share. A UK friend did download the BBC Stream and sent me a copy. Although it was nice that the BBC decided to present Joni's 1968 radio appearance to a new audience, it was a totally disappointing presentation. What I mean is ... all they did was play the 4-Songs Joni performed. No information, other than mentioning 1968. None of the original commentary. No mention of the additional musicians. IMHO: A real hack job. In any event, here are the full details about Joni Mitchell's 1968 BBC radio performance. - - - - - - TOP GEAR - BBC Radio 1 - Studio 1 Recorded: Sept. 23, 1968 Broadcast: Sept. 29, 1968 1.
