Tonight I dug out the June 1997 Vanity Fair with the fantastic Joni article titled "Lady of the Canyon". There are two more sepia-toned Ritts photos of Joni from the same shoot as the photo on the cover of the lyrics book. In one Joni has her arm up and is leaning against some sort of Moorish-style turret and in the other she is again in front of the tree with the ferns smoking a cigarette. The caption reads "She's sung the blues, lived through Turbulent Indigo, hissed at summer lawns and turned us on like a radio. Now Joni Mitchell - pictured at her Spanish-style compound in Bel Air - is finally getting her due as a genuine artist." I don't like to keep old magazines laying around but this one is a real keeper. Kakki
