It's only a "dulcima" if you're from South Boston!

Greatest female song writer ever. Nobody has this talent anymore. Pluto Leo's will not return for another 230 yrs.

"I'll put on my finest silver". Joni's lyrics celebrate life as well as analyse it's darker reaches. Reminds me of "Chelsea Morning": "Let's Put on the Day / And Let's talk in Present Tenses" What a great artist. I think this is her tour in 1983. I saw her that year in the RDS in Dublin. She was. as ever enchanting, chatting to the audience afterwards while, inevitably, smoking a long cigarette.

It is a dulcimer

this song is just lovely but i also think holds alot of loneliness, the whole album does, being away from where you are from, having fun but also being aware that you are escaping somehow. 'the bright red devil that keeps me in this tourist town'. it has the excitement and loneliness of youth, and any song that carries those two elements well is a winner in my book!

it's amazing how fast her voice ...well, she couldn't sing as high as when she originally released this song, i know she smokes and admitted her self she didn't take care of her voice. i love joni's older recordings
