    She wrote this when she was in her mid-twenties. Now that she's gone round and round in the circle game for nearly years, would that she could write us three more verses for this exquisite masterpiece. She has gifted the world so many beautiful songs, but none better than this.

    Best cover of Joni's song Ive heard. Its a difficult song to play, let alone sing. Youve done an excellent performance. Great vocals and guitar playing.

      Anthony Miller, I totally agree with u. It's amazing how her voice sounds uncannily like Joni Mitchell's.

    I'm Crying. Your voice, Joni Mitchell's Song. WOW!! I have 6 Children, 3 Girls, 3 Boys, Only 1 left at home, my 16 year old son. I'm so sad that time is Literally Flying By. I can still smell my oldest daughter's Newborn Hair, in my Mind! She's 32! I wish I could go back, relive their babyhood/childhood.

    I am usually VERY critical on covers, but believe me when I tell you that your performance was OUTSTANDING. Well done. I am so happy that there is at least one young person who will
    carry on performing these classic songs, and do it well.

    Absolutely brilliant I first heard this when my son was 4 (I,ve got the album Ladies of the Canyon)
    This is spot on.This year the boy will be 50.Hopefully when this corona mess is over there will be
    better dreams and plenty.Before his last revolving year is through!

    Beautiful. One of the greatest songs of all time. Your version had just a hint of a Sandy Denny old English folk feel to it. Fantastic.

    when i was in grade school we had a music teacher (Mr Walkup ) who was fluent in many instruments and he would teach us the songs and we would sing as he played , its one of the best memories of my life , thanks for the flash back memories

    Circle Game may be my favorite song. I was father to such a child, and lost him unexpectedly at 20, just as a few of his dreams (with less grandeur) were coming true.
    You do the song justice, Laura. We need talented young artists to keep this wonderful music alive and performed in community.

      Do give Joni's brilliant songs a chance Keith; you're missing a gift of your lifetime my friend. Do or don't, your choice... however, life Is an endless "Circle Game." Hear ya Keith.. you like this 'Most Excellent' singer guitar playing her woman - but not Joni? Some chick you dated/used love Joni.?.. know you're kind man; you're a dying breed. Once again Keith, I hear you & although I disagree I rise above your jaded negativity - hope everlasting man yet to evolve.

    Wow! That was absolutely amazing and perfect! How did you do this? That definitely must've taken some time to master. I have always loved The Circle game since I first heard it years ago and I think even Joni would be impressed with your impeccable and beautiful rendition. It was amazing on every level. I am definitely saving this in a playlist. Bravo! You captured the young, reminiscent, unbridled, pensive and reflective essence that the original had.

    What an inspiring version of this song, Joni would be proud. I got here by quite a circuitous, path, ironic right? I recently watched the Kennedy Center tribute to Joni and realized more deeply what a talented songwriter she really is. I hope you have seen it. Her artwork is more evidence of her talent. I remembered this song afterward and decided to learn to play it as she was around when I first listened to music. (I am a singer/songwriter who also plays piano). After watching a couple of videos with Joni playing it, I stumbled onto your video and was blown away. Thanks for sharing your music.
