Like you, most music got to me through the radio, often a year or two after the songs were popular on the west coast. I grew up always a bit behind the times. Not too long ago we saw a concert with Joni Mitchell, hosted by Belinda Carlisle. It was such a relief to see her, see the honor given to her, especially to hear her sing. Her voice is different now, of course, but she still made it work, like a lovely old instrument that has taken on a new deeper richness.
Joni Mitchell is quite amazing. A songwriter, such a vocalist singer and an inventive musical guitar artist. She uses different tunings on the guitar. Her songs are blessings to us listeners.
There are so many more avenues for music now! But I love Sirius XM because they have stations with real dj’s like it used to be, within their myriad of “stations”. I’m a huge fan of Tom Petty Radio and Classic Vinyl. I should check for a Joni station!

I agree! Her voice is angelic.
