Ladies of the Canyon: Joni Mitchell

September 23, 2010

I apologize for sending you elsewhere to listen, but Hipcast’s audio player will not load. I have been trying to figure out how to add one, but I just didn’t find anything. This is the best I can do for now.

I figured if I chose a Joni, you’d forgive the inconvenience.

Listen to her here.
