This reminds me of the time Steve and I met Randy Sparks, founder of The
New Christy Minstrels.
Randy was telling of the time he visited Burl Ives on his ranch (I think
in Santa Barbara). Randy was gazing out at the pastoral view and Burl
said, "...three chords..." Randy said, "What?" Burl replied, "I got
all this by playing three chords..."
Some additional thoughts this morning of the success of BSN. The song
is flexible and open to interpretation - even Joni has recorded three
different arrangements of BSN.
It speaks to Joni's genius that she can create art easily accessible and
appealing to the masses.
