<<p.s. what took you so long to buy FTR ?>>

I remember in the early 70's when I first heard Joni, I didn't like her voice (the 
higher pitched stuff). I loved Court & Spark, and HOSL & Hejira and so on, but I never 
really went BACKWARDS from C&S until I joined up with BMG record club in the mid-late 
80's, then I started buying up a lot of CD's, including the "pre-C&S" Joni; Blue, FTR, 
LOTC, MOA, everything in fact except STAS which BMG didn't list. I got that one 
finally in the latter 90's from my local store. So as you can see my purchasing 
history for Joni's work has been pretty wacky. Remember too that (in the early 
seventies) I wasn't exactly running around with a crowd that was listening to/talking 
about a lot of Joni Mitchell!

That's why I appreciate a question like the one about Electricity, it forces me to dig 
down deep with these songs and I gain a fuller appreciation of them.
