    She’s playing a mountain dulcimer. It’s an Appalachian folk instrument. Also known as a courtin dulcimer because often a young man would make one for the girl he planned to court. It’s got three or four strings. I play mine with three. Dulcimer means sweet song. And she plays it sweetly indeed. You can also find Cyndi Lauper playing a dulcimer and she in fact wrote time after time on her dulcimer.

    It's almost criminal how much talent Joni Mitchell has, as a player, singer, lyricist, composer painter! It's not surprising that so many incredible musicians wanted to work with her, including the late great jazz composer Charles Mingus who became friends with Joni and commissioned her to write lyrics to his elaborate compositions, resulting in "Mingus" (1979)

    At this BBC performance she tells the audience that she's struggling with a cold (and yet she can still sing like that). It's amazing to watch her at this performance, she plays guitar, then goes over and does some songs on the piano, then she does this one on the dulcimer, and then she goes back to the guitar to play "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Both Sides Now." Nobody else on stage. Amazing.

    In reference to her lyric: " I'll even kiss a sunset pig", it occurred to me that some of the younger generation may not be aware that back in the turbulent 60's, & especially after the '68 Grant Park (Chicago) riots, when the CPD ran amuck (I was there), & brutally injured scores of protesters, police officers were referred to by most everyone in the counter-culture community as "pigs". The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same; isn't it a shame, isn't it a pity.

Another story, another place, another group of characters, this time from when she was living rough with hippies in the caves above the beach at Matala on the Greek island of Crete... and still dreaming and yearning for other places...

    @Scott Asay They just introduced 26 new gun laws in the legislature. All the major cities are liberal strongholds. That is the road CA went down. You go west from the coast, there are a lot of conservatives that are out-voted by the liberals in the cities. Big tech keeps moving into TX, (Tesla, etc.), bringing CA liberals with them. Just a matter of time.

    @@frandanco6289 Thank you for your kind thoughts. I lived in Morgan Hill for twenty years. I was shunned by my neighbors for flying the flag on the appropriate days. I had to take extra precautions to conceal the fact I own guns. In CA, you never see a state flag outside of the occasional state building. People in TX have pride of place, are friendly, not concerned about telling others how to live, respect and revere those that serve in the military and realize we are all in this together and generally look out for one another. The first month in SA, a huge hailstorm beat the hell out of my new Jeep. I didn’t care, I’m just thankful to be here.

Thank you so much for reacting as well as appreciating this very special woman. She is highly respected in the music industry despite her being outside the commercial pop culture.

    From the mid-60s to the mid-70s was the height of the singer-songwriter era. During my high school to college years was filled with great music and songwriters that wrote amazing songs that would be considered poetry in an earlier era. Joni Mitchell is one of the greats. Others are: Bob Dylan Carole King Cat Stevens Stephen Stills James Taylor Jackson Browne Dan Fogelberg Neil Young Harry Nilsson Paul Simon Jimmy Buffett John Prine Leon Russell Van Morrison.

    Its really amazing that she has such a kind and caring disposition when you consider a lot of the stuff she experienced and the types of people she encountered when she was young before getting into the music the business. She contracted polio at age 9. She also started smoking at age 9. At age 12 she was hanging around downtown Saskatoon with a "rowdy crowd" until she finally stopped because she was getting a little too close to the criminal world. She lost her virginity in art school and got pregnant and had to give up her baby up for adoption. All that and yet she still comes off so pure of soul in these videos and in her music.

    When you said this was a live performance of California I was worried that it wouldn’t be as good as the recording. But this was phenomenal! I’ve never heard it before. And the instrument that she was playing is a traditional folk instrument commonly used in folk and bluegrass, a dulcimer. Now I’m going to keep asking for All I Want off of her album Blue, and maybe A Case of You as well.
