outstanding essay! What resonated with me is her comfort to perform in a small venue like a cafe and how her teacher encouraged a "struggling" Joni to write poetry. Her life is woven with so much meaning in glorious simplicity.
Was that middle clip (where she's introduced by Tony Bennett) from the same tribute concert where Diana Krall sang "A Case of You" and k.d. lang did "Help Me"? I have long wanted that concert on DVD.
What a gift, all these photos and videos and links! Thank you. It's really astonishing that she wrote that song at 24.
Of course she’s a cat lady! Love it!
Right!?
My favorite time seeing her was the Celebration at Big Sur with CSN and Joan Baez in 1969. I drove down from SF.
Wow, Rena, that's amazing! What a memory
made me cry. too much for this old guy.
Not alone, Tom.
Thank you for this immense treat. I am feeling peaceful after that.

She is just so cute.
Makes me feel better about not knowing what life's about after almost 67 years of living....
Always a good day when Joni Mitchell pops up in a random pandora channel of mine
Joni is an incredibly gifted singer/songwriter. Her music is iconic. Thank you for the wonderful compilation of her life and music career.

I’m not sure!!
One of the greatest Singer songwriters such an inspiration of mine! I didn't know a lot about her life, so this is so interesting thank you!
Beautiful. A woman, her art, and her cats.
Especially the cats. I, too love cats.
This post was so moving 🥹 and knowing she’s a cat lady makes me love her even more ♥️
That was some in-depth researching and reporting. I hope it was as fun to write as it was to read!
It absolutely was. I love writing these :)
This is beautiful. Such a profound compilation of words, photos, and music. I deeply admire Joni and love her music so much.
This interview I didn't keep in the post, but it is totally worth watching! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUu1MvnAecc
Oh! Great! Thanks for sharing.
Love this so much, Bailey, thank you. I get teary every time I see Joni’s Grammy performance, so, so poignant.
