With thanks to all involved: Canada's LAILA BIALI (vocals, piano) who recorded her own arrangement of Canadian legend JONI MITCHELL's "River" at SubCulture NYC, especially for this video; MARNI HALASA and TARYN JURGENSEN (principal skaters); CRAIG BUNDY (music sound); WILL HANSEN (music lighting); Steam Engine Films' WILLIAM DOBLE & FRANK ANGELCYK (music videography); and RONALD GONZALEZ (editor & videographer). And a very special thanks to: the SKATERS who braved a frigid Brooklyn morning; ED JANOFF & LAUREN LAWSON (Open Space Alliance of North Brooklyn); McCARREN RINK, Brooklyn; MARC & STEVEN KAPLAN (SubCulture); MOIRA NORTH (Ice Theatre of New York); THE NEW YORK CYCLONES HOCKEY CLUB; and KONDITORI COFFEE SHOP, Brooklyn.

Beautiful video, well-done Laila Biali! Why is Joni Mitchell not mentioned in the credits?
