On David Crosby and Joni Mitchell

The chemistry and music history bubbling up in 1967 from Laurel Canyon and beyond....
This is the song Joni presented at a party hosted by Peter Tork to David Crosby, breaking up with him... (story below)

That Song About the Midway

I met you on a midway at a fair last year
And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear
You were playin' on the horses, you were playin' on the guitar strings
You were playin' like a devil wearin' wings
Wearin' wings, you looked so grand wearin' wings
Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing?
Can you fly? I heard you can, can you fly?
Like an eagle doin' your huntin' from the sky
I followed with the sideshows to another town
And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds
You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice
And I thought I saw you cheatin' once or twice
Once or twice, I heard your bid once or twice
Were you wond'rin' was the gamble worth the price?
Pack it in, I heard you did, pack it in
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win?
So lately you've been hidin', it was somewhere in the news
And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues
And a voice calls out the numbers and it sometimes mentions mine
And I feel like I've been workin' overtime
Over time, I've lost my fire, over time
Always playin' one more hand for one more dime
Slowin' down, I'm gettin' tired, slowin' down
And I envy you, the valley that you've found
'Cause I'm midway, down the midway
Slowin' down, down, down, down

One of the best-ever albums, and here is a "new Beatles track" - from the newly released Special Edition, of Revolver.

Got To Get You Into My Life (First Version / Take 5)

Rolling Stone describes this as an entirely different perspective on this and other well-known songs. Lots of chemistry, and experimentation, plus clowning and fun. As they describe, a time The Beatles were on top of the world and in their own dimension.

Meanwhile, though NYC is one of the "safest", most vaccinated places to be at the moment, this was meant to kick off a more carefree summer, after the citizenry spent the past few months masking and vaccinated. But... so far it's all mostly locals that I see in the parks and restaurants. We're waiting for more "homecoming" and visits from friends/family elsewhere. Still a time of caution and a bit of numbness/fatigue and ... "the waiting is the hardest part". #StaySafe

Is this possible? By my math, this was released 52 years ago today!
