1. Thanks for posting this, marble falls. Fortunately, it's not Joni Mitchell.

It's Judy Collins, one of my all-time favorites.

2. Yeah. I just got off a deep Joni Mitchel dive with Duer Lark. And then listened to two versions ...

... of Suzanne with my wife. Feel free to kick my dog!

Colors of the Day is in my 100 collection for a desert island. Right next to Joni Mitchell's Blue and coincidentally enough, Miles Davis's Blue.

3. Beautiful voice, beautiful lady, sublime performance from 2000.

4. I saw her in person in one of the first concerts I attended with friends

I still remember the beautiful dress she wore. And it is still the most memorable concert I've ever attended, it was a double bill with Arlo Guthrie! I think we may have been 14.

5. The first concert I went to was a Youth Appreciateion Day sponsered by WIXY radio ...

... at Chipawa Lake Park, the Outsiders were headline-ing. First time I saw a dude with seriously long hair, and the arcade had the best jukebox I'd ever seen, just the latest stuff and no "standards" or country.

6. Wow! Very cool! And good memory...

That summer we went to three concerts, Blood, Sweat & Tears, José Feliciano and the double bill of Judy Collins and Arlo Guthrie. And it must have been late in the season since my friends and I had been to summer camp in Vermont. I looked at the schedule for Saratoga Performing Arts Center for this coming summer and they don't make summers like that anymore.

7. Most of my clearest and detailed memories have at least an element of music attatched ...

... like my memories of the kitchen in our home when I was 8, are sound tracked with "Volare" (50s)

Even my dreams have a soundtrack. Can't remember any of it, sort of background music.
