February 12, 2011Chelsea Morning: Joni Mitchell
February 11, 2011I still remember the first time I heard Joni singing. It was from this album, Clouds, which remains my favorite.

Okay, I’ve played this before, but I feel like playing it again. I just love the imagery in this song. The oranges are always green to me, as they were in Africa.

February 8, 2011Buffalo Springfield was the most influential folk-rock or country-rock group, however you want to describe them. It’s a shame they lasted only a couple of years. The group was and still is among my favorites.
