<<I wouldn't be surprised if Joni would prefer that we leave well enough alone and let those songs stay buried the way she intended.>>
No rain on my parade, Paul...you're spot on! I'm sure Joni would be mortified to see that people are seeking out & listening to this stuff...BUT in the same way I like looking at Andrew Wyeth's sketches & studies (our local art museum has lots of Wyeth stuff), I enjoy listening to Joni's earliest writing, much of which stands with her best! Look at Urge For Going, that song was one of her first and is as uncomplicatedly lovely as anything she's written since. Bob NP: The Beatles, "Love You To"
