<<I wonder what other of her songs were written up there?>> I was listening to the '95 New Orleans show last night and the intro to "Magdalene Laundries" describes how she wrote the music on the BC coast (I know you've heard the story...) Anyway, one of the points of the story was that (like FTR) writing in BC & surrounded by its beauty inspired a beautiful melody which turned dark only when she saw the headline about the Magdalene Laundries in the news while grocery shopping. So I think there's some truth in the notion that this part of the world inspires 'truth & beauty' from Joni.
I love this version of the story because she does these bird imitations that just crack me up! Bob NP: Mary Chapin-Carpenter/Shawn Colvin, "Amelia"
