Nr. 6 – Joni Mitchell

“What now? Only on nr.6”, you might think… “Then who’s nr.1?” The plot thickens… I think my brother guessed Joni to be in the top and a friend of mine guessed her to be number one on the list. Knowing me, it’s a pretty good speculation. I have this thing that I don’t always want to discuss Joni Mitchell and her music with people because I don’t like when people don’t get it. I know it’s really silly, and perhaps even childish. To me her songs – lyrics and melodies – goes straight to the heart. She is one of the best song writers I know. I think I’ll leave it at that. And don’t come discussing Joni with me unless you have listened and got the beauty of The Gallery, Conversation, My Old Man, Little Green, Cactus Tree, That Song About the Midway, Down To You and Refuge of the Roads (to name a few).
