I have had the LP of this since I was 17. I am now 71. With all due respect to Mssrs Dylan, Cohen, and Springsteen, and to Mlles Nyro and Ian, it is Joni Mitchell and Joni Mitchell alone who was the greatest singer-songwriter of my lifetime. Mitchell's gift for melody, and her lyrics, which approach pure poetry, are simply incomparable.

My grandpa and step grandma took my sister and me to Catalina Island last year. I’ll never forget the boat ride to get there. It was early in the morning, 7 or 8am. The sky was full of clouds, it was quite windy, and slightly raining. We got to sit next to a window and watch the playful ocean, and I spotted dolphins a little distance away. It gave me a feeling I don’t think I could describe with words if I tried. It simply felt like this album-Song to a Seagull.

Listening this morning, this grey bleak morning, to Joni Mitchell’s premiere album entitled “Songs from a Seagull” which marked the first time many of us heard her mesmerizing voice which gave rise to countless dreams as we stretched out on sofas, sat comfortably in chairs, and let her words carry us to places our younger selves could only imagine. With eyes closed, a cigarette in hand, its smoke swirling up into the air, her lyrics emerged as the center of our musical compass. Her voice invited us to dream. And all these years later, never tiring of hearing the powerful sweetness of her voice and the lyrical stories of love, loss, hope and transformation.

Neil Young and Joni both had Polio. My father, as a young doctor, was in charge of large wards of polio stricken children before the vaccines. Before that my newborn brother died due to my mom had rubella during her first trimester causing him to have a malformed heart. Again, before there was a vaccine for rubella. So while, people have a right to their opinion, spreading misinformation is another matter. I cancelled my subscription to Spotify and switched. Van Morrison & Eric Clapton both are against covid vaccines and have been very vocal about it. I'm not saying they weren't adversely effected by them (I think I had an adverse reaction as well ) but compared to how many were protected by the vaccine IMHO find it selfish of them to say vaccines shouldn't be taken. I love their music but I am saddened now by this glimpse into their egos. Oh, and on top of them both having polio as kids. Circle Game was written for Neil Young.

I’ve always loved Mitchell, but sometimes life just drags you right past things like wonderful artists and their music, leaving furrowed fingernail grooves behind. Years later you might have a dream….. recently I dreamed I was bicycling along a dirt road lined with tall trees with my little sister and singing a Jonny Mitchell song I hadn’t heard in decades, and we knew every word, singing the song through to the end. It was wonderful. My beloved sister has been dead for quite a while. I awoke with tears of joy at seeing her again only to find that she was still gone, and that I’d just been dreaming… Apparently, in my old age, a lot of music has some wonderful associations that connect when I hear certain songs. It’s like someone spitting in the holy water when an album like this is constantly interrupted by crass commercials and ads for people too lazy to pick up a new dog toy when they go to the store, and might want some delivered to their house by some poor, overworked a**hole who would normally work at a steel mill if there were any left. But there aren’t. Yes, I’m a bitter old man, I’m ready to go home now, and see my sister and my other loved ones. Now there’s an ad on here from Amazon, wrecking what should have been a beautiful album of music. Music is crap today, and music is life.

I am a "court and spark" kind of guy, I've been listening to it - and not a lot else by Joni - since it was released. One day, however, I saw this Album and for reasons I have yet to discover, I said to myself "I'm going to listen to this until I hit a track I don't care for". I got all the way through, started over - just to make sure I hadn't miss-heard something - and have completely fallen in love with this album. So beautiful and melodic and genuinely heart-felt...amazing.
