Virtual Saskatchewan has a list of famous saskabushers...and, guess what, they celebrate joni mitchell first - at the top of the list, with photo... they also add the fascinating tidbit that Raised on Robbery "was written in and about Regina's Empire Hotel"... now parts of downtown Regina can be pretty tacky...complete with roaming aboriginals "smashed on railray avenue"... it all makes sense that the tackiness described in Raised on Robbery would be a part of this setting... ...The Waltons' most recent album, full of prairie references, is also entitled "Empire Hotel"... ...to visit Virtual Saskatchewan's list where joni is 'number one' -and leave your comments: http://www.virtualsk.com/current_issue/saskatchewans_own.html shane http://www.angelfire.com/art/cactussong
