I wonder if it sounds that way in this recording because she's (obviously) 
playing it in the same tuning as Circle Game? Or are those two songs in the 
same tuning anyway? A query for the many talented Joni guitarists in our 
midst. As I said, this is among my favorite Joni performances. And one of a 
couple "medleys" she did  early on..."Marcie/Nathan La Franeer" was another, 
"River/Willy" another, and then there was the peculiar combination of "Willy" 
& a song called "Looking Out For Love" that I never see referenced anywhere 
as a separate song.

Is the general consensus that "Looking out For Love" is additional lyric to 
Willy, or that it's a stand-alone song. Those that have this recording, what 
do you think?

Yes, and what you say is the reason it almost always makes me cry, not just 
when Joni sings it, but also the wonderful other interpretations; Bryan 
Thomas, Mia Znidaric, and especially Jack Donahue, a fine NY cabaret artist.
