River - Joni Mitchell
River - Sarah McLachlan

A few years ago an afternoon CBC radio show was honouring Joni Mitchell for her  60th birthday and had a vote to determine the favorite Joni Mitchell song.  This song won the honours.  It's my favorite as well.

A river walk?  An Island Walk

It's a very fine pastoral shot, Mary. Eeerr....didn't you use this one already?
Mary MacADNski: I'm into my archives and had one in the past from this spot - with ducks. And why is your memory so darned good?

"I wish I had a river I could skate away on."

Oh Mary your image and music are beautiful this afternoon. Thank you thank you thank you.
Mary MacADNski: I'm a huge Joni M. fan and have loved this song so much. I always love skating on my pond and singing it with the kids.

Lovely gentle landscape Mary. Never been a big fan of Joni Mitchell somehow too many of her songs sound like big yellow taxi!
Mary MacADNski: She changed a lot in the years. She smokes several packs of cigs a day and no longer can sing 5 octaves. Do you remember her old song Both Sides Now? She first released it in the late 60's or early 70's but her age and high pitched, girlish voice didn't do the incredible lyrics justice. She always said it was written for an older woman. She released it again in 2000 on her album of standards, Both Sides Now. In her mature voice, this is one of my favorite songs of all times. It makes more sense with this voice and doesn't sound at all like BYTaxi.

Lovely composition and subdued colours Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Aussie. I just uploaded a snow and fence photo for you. It's for the 23rd.
My favourite Joni song always depends upon the day and my mood.
Mary MacADNski: That's true of all music, isn't it?
