Hi Damien-
Welcome to the list!. It is VERY refreshing to have young people on this
list and attracted to the music of Joni Mitchell. You will find a very
diverse group of folks here and people of all ages. We have our very own
Rev, lots of musicians, poets, philosophers, sociologists, republicans,
cross dressers, (lol) you name it. Be sure to check out the upcoming
JoniFest in Topsfield, Massachusetts. Once you attend a JoniFest, you will
be hooked for life. This will be my fourth year. Check out WTRF as it is
been a hot topic lately. Personally I love this record and I have a lot of
nice memories from the era (which is usually the case with most Joni
releases for me). Enjoy the list!
