To paraphrase my understanding of the scenario, David wanted Joni to write some songs 
for him, or co-write with him...Joni was in a dry spell and not really interested or 
motivated, so David asked if he could fax her some lyrics and have her "school marm" 
on them, which he did. She pulled a Kratzman on him and marked up cliches and what 
not. Crosby of course then went on to record the song on his "Thousand Roads" CD, and 
it's very nice.

As far as I know, that's the only Crosby-Mitchell composition that's out there.

Bob, who LOVED the version of "Carry On" on that Superbowl commercial last night!

NP: Lorraine Gervais, "Peel Me A Grape"
