Discuss! - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Date: Sat, 20 Jul 2013 21:39:54 +0000 From: Laskowski, Michael To: les@jonimitchell.com Hi, I just wanted to suggest that Joni seems to be singing the line six of the "Song to a Seagull" : /Have names they must call *thee*/ I'm hardly an expert, but "me" seems to make little sense there -- it damages the leading metaphor (or at least my understanding of it). The mistake is replicated in the tabs and chords files (and few covers of that song I've heard). The live version from 1967 has the "thee" more vividly pronounced.
