The song comes naturally from the way he feels and the sense of commitment he has to her and vice versa. I don't think that Joni has the capability for that level of sacrifice and commitment. The good news for us is that it's fueled the fire of her muse and given us lots of great music.

Catherine, my Mum always referred to Judy Collins' version as 'jingly jangly' and 'too sweet'. Although trying to ignore the fact that she would ever die, Mum did make one request that Joni's version of BSN be played at her funeral. Her coffin came in to it and we walked behind. As Mum said 'That's me. I really don't know Life at all.' Way to go Mum!

Mark in Seattle - -----Original Message----- From: Rob Procyk Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 10:08 PM To: joni@smoe.org Subject: Hippy Songs and Stevie Nicks Sjc Yeah, I think both Stevie and Lindsey's contributions are brilliant on Tusk. I Too hate the Landslide remakes, but the original still chokes me up, as does "Crystal". Next to "Gypsy", which is my favorite song ever, I really, really love "That's Alright" from Mirage. Something about it haunts me. Anyway, I still like Dreams, and sort of love the washES thing, but if I never hear " Don't Stop" again, I will be oh so happy. And, I gotta say, Stevie's "Nightbird" always makes me think of my dearly departed mother, so I will always love that single - its one of those "I've drunk too much wine and I am going to watch a performance on you tube and do the ugly cry" things that you just need to do about twice a year, you know? But it's funny - Stevie's signature single is "Stand Back", but I never hear it overplayed. Indeed, if I hear it on Muzak or radio, I get excited. But Joni? They overplay The C&S singles - at least here in Canada. Same goes for BYT. It's funny what gets thrown into Oldies rotation. Ah, well, I always say, at least it's a nickel in Joni's pocket each time it's played!
