Lail! Thank you for sharing this excellent post... I’ve just rediscovered Big Yellow Taxi and Joni Mitchell through you and now bopping my way around Sunday! Plus the videos from Newport are beautiful. The biography sounds so great... on my reading list. Can you share you Joni covers? Would love to hear them!!!

Wow, this is a favourite for me. Joni Mitchell brought tears to my eyes just before I was about to start work for the day. What a great way to honor her. American tune was also very nice and so great to see Paul Simon still looking well.

The problem you have given me is adding to my bucket list and my wife wasn't keen on another trip to the States after so many miles on our last one. I've never been to Mass and never been to a big festival. Next trip is likely to be back home to Holland next year, but maybe it should be Newport 2024 to go to the Folk and Jazz festivals. What a shame I don't have a job to send me to the US anymore. Thanks for sharing these gems.
