On August 6 in Joni Mitchell History: 1965: Joni performs at the Mariposa Folk Festival, Ontario. In the program it read: "Joni Anderson - Joni is a relatively new performer on the local folk music scene. She began her singing career in 1964 with an appearance at The Depression in Calgary and The Yardbird Suite in Edmonton. After gaining acceptance in Western Canada, Joni decided to move east and seek her fortune in Toronto. Since her arrival last fall, she has enjoyed performances at several coffee houses--The Bohemian Embassy, The New Gate of Cleve, and the Underground, to name a few. Joni is also noted for playing the tipple--an eight-string instrument slightly larger than the ukelele."
