I'm very glad to hear that Judy Collins is still performing. <br />A few years ago, my daughter and I went to a concert at a winery where Janice Ian ("At Seventeen"?) was the opener for some forgettable youngster. We sat on a blanket very near the stage, and my lovely daughter quietly sang along to every song Janice sang. Yes, we had played her album to threads when my daughter was quite young. After the show, we stopped to buy a CD from the wonderful Ms Ian, and she started laughing and said to my daughter, "You knew every single word of my songs!" What a sweet moment.<br />Said daughter just looked over my shoulder and reminded me we also had that Judy Collins album, which contains "City of New Orleans," a great song.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448915588546829312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-68492055165901419642018-02-05T02:36:11.057+00:002018-02-05T02:36:11.057+00:00Yes we did!

My main complaint with the Judy Collins version is that it's too cheerful sounding, and a little too fast-paced. It should be a meditative song. Joni recorded it again in 2000, and it's interesting to hear that version -- when she was in her fifties, her voice had deepened, and she carried the patina of experience.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.com
