(Yes, it's that pesky past again, reappearing as if it was present). I have to be prepared to feel what it will rekindle in me, so - I haven't listened for a long time now, but this post has encouraged me to listen to her again. Also, I haven't even heard her latest songs, so it's time too, to do that.

It's easily found by entering his name in my blog search box. My favourite singer by the way is Pavarotti. There's a poem about him on the blog too. I wonder who'll be no. 10? It's somewhat suspenseful. <br />Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-76452880558929244722016-08-24T10:31:46.818+01:002016-08-24T10:31:46.818+01:00Hi, just checked out the Ana Moura version of A Ca...Hi, just checked out the Ana Moura version of A Case of You and it is indeed a fine version, with some lovely backing by the two musicians with her.<br />Do you subscribe to Isis magazine the quartely magazine about all things Bob Dylan edited by Derek Barker. I have subscribed for a number of years and one of the main benefits is the fact that us subscribers get access to a block of seats across the front of his show venues. Last year at the RAH was fantastic, apart from the spotlights behind him blinding the audience.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-4005997028287303522016-08-22T19:34:16.478+01:002016-08-22T19:34:16.478+01:00Amanda — another Joni fan!

I didn't see Dylan in the 60s, but have seem him pretty much every time he's visited the UK since (and including) Earl's Court in 1978. Sometimes several times during the one tour! I never managed to see Joni either, which I'll always regret. (The other performer I wish I'd seen in concert is Bruce Springsteen.) Hejira is certainly one of her best albums. Case of You is such a fine song — have you heard Ana Moura sing it (featured her in this Ten of the Best series)? It's on YouTube. Thanks for visiting and hope to see you again.

I hitch-hiked to London in 1966 to see Dylan at the Albert Hall and have seen most of his concerts ever since. I've seen concerts by virtually everybody that I'm interested in seeing but somehow I've always missed concerts by the best singer/songwriter of them all - Joni Mitchell. I think that Hejira is her best album and Sharon's Song, Coyote and Case of You her best three songs.
