I saw Shadows & Light on the telly when I was 16 (28 years or so ago) and fell in love with her voice and song writing style. Hejira is my all time favourite. White flags of winter chimneys, waving truce against the moon...

After almost 40 years of listening to Joni, I appreciate more and more her first album 'Song to a Seagull' and rate the song 'I Had a King' as her top song. I used to find this album somewhat difficult to listen to, but, as they say 'wisdom comes with age' so maybe I've arrived a little in that respect. Best Wishes to all Joni fans, worldwide. And thank you so very much, Joni, for bringing so much music and joy into our lives. We all love you a lot.

I'm one-third of the trio Gathering Time, and Joni's one of the people who taught me how to sing just by putting her music out there where I could listen.

A true lover of all things Joni

Joni has been my sage since I first heard Court & Spark when I was in 6th grade. I played guitar in high school, college, and beyond. I broke one too many acoustic steel strings trying to find Joni's open tunings (which I love) and now I have a phobia about tuning musical instruments. No Roland VG-8 back then. So I basically grew up with her music. And to this day she remains my favorite musician, with unique music and lyrics reflecting such clarity of vision, so prophetic and so disarming.

Big Yellow Taxi was the first song I ever heard, and of course ecology-minded and fey I loved the "tree museum "and the laugh at the end. But the first I ever knew of Joni was an advert in 'Evergreen' magazine; the line drawing on the LADIES OF THE CANYON album...I was magnetically drawn to the girl with the long blonde hair. Forty years later that girl's dignity, seriousness, honesty, artistry and the strange combination of vulnerable and tough still holds my attention.

I'm an artist and long-time Joni Mitchell fan; I first noticed her song-writing genius back in 1968 when I bought a 45 rpm of " Both Sides Now" recorded by Judy Collins. In the spring of 1970 I was hearing "Woodstock" for the first time by CSN and again noticed the writer. A few years later friends and I went to see Joni in New Haven CT in 1974 and that was one of the joys of my life. Also saw her perform at the anti-nuke protest in DC in 1979. Will always be a fan no matter what.

I'm an L.A.-based photographer, writer & pianist/composer. I've been a J. M. fan from the first time I heard "I Had a King" on "underground" radio 40 yrs ago. Who was that? I'd never heard the name before. But the song; that voice! Bought Song to a Seagull, and never looked back. J.M. has inspired me as a composer (songs w/out words) and, yes, even more recently as a writer of plays and screenplays. We've met briefly twice. One day I hope to share that which she's inspired. Thank you.

joni's mom and my mom were on the same bowling league in Macleod. We went to SAIT at the same time but didn't know each other although i remember her singing at parties. We share many of the same small town images, particularily of Fort Macleod. the Java Shop, a restaurant in Macleod, closed recently and i remembered Joni's song "They paved paradise..." i thought she would be interested and found this site. as much as we don't like it, Joni, we'll always be from Macleod. take care don

I am a 23 year old singer-songwriter in rural Alberta, and Joni Mitchell is the inspiration behind most of the music I play and/or write. I find that no matter what mood I am in, she has a song that compliments it in some way.......I like to think of her work as the soundtrack to my life. In fact, often her songs invoke more emotion in me than real life does, which just goes to show how powerful her lyrics and melodies are.

First met Joni's music in 1967.... Song to a Seagull I must be partial to Canadian artists, as I am also nuts for Jennifer Warnes.

Been skulking around this and other Joni Mitchell sites for a while. Not a joiner normally, but interested in what's here and would like to contribute. Joni Mitchell's music has been in and out of my life for many years. Don't subscribe to the "she taught me to feel" idea entirely, but her music has helped me to understand what I feel many times. And it really is extraordinary music, both as music and what it can do for you. Don't want to be a Joni geek but happy to be a Joni music friend.

Been a long standing Joni fan. Joni's music had been around when I met my wife. A place called The Corkroom & Cellar, in the Philippines. Pizza, beer, & folk music nightly played by the local filipinos. A sailor & a waitress 1976. Little did they know marriage was in their future on 10/08/1978. We celebrate 30 yrs this 2008 and to this date when we hear Joni play we have to "Stop and smell the roses". Life is too short, A little bit of Joni or your fav folk artist, kick back & enjoy life.

In the 1960's and 70's, a group of people joined into the great Circle Game. The musicians, students, and many more ,clung on the carousel and preserved their souls by wearing the anthems of the times. I was one of those tendrils. Joni's music created the backdrop that I could rest on.. Her anthems that followed me to this day are many--the elated , the mornful, the questioning, the magical. For that I am ever thankful--and for that I am joining this forum. Gracias :-)

Back in the 80's my co-workers used to tease me about my obsession with Joni's music. One friend a cartoonist used to draw me in some of his cartoons with my security uniform on the job with my Joni Mitchell alblums under my arm. I later became a fan of CPR and did not know she was a pal of David Crosby until I read his Bio.
