    "If" is a gift to Joni's fans as her last studio recording. And "Young At Heart" magnifies the goodwill she has for her fans. Joni is the gift that keeps on giving. I'm 64 now and began listening to her when I was 9! She has enriched my life a great deal. I never waivered in my admiration for her, regardless of any period or change she made.

    Hi Mike, thank you for sharing Joni's performance at The Gorge Amphitheatre! I absolutely enjoyed seeing Joni perform with the help of some of her very, very supportive friends and of course, the tremendous support of the vast audience gathered to see, hear, and to revel not only in awe but to the brilliance that is 'ALL' Joni. Great to see this!!! Wishing her a full recovery and to doing some more performances at her leisure.💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

    Joni's genius is more and more evident with time. Health and age conspired to change her voice and give her an entirely new and different instrument, and she mastered it to make it musical. Such a transition. There is music inside her that comes out despite all she has been through.

    Thanks again @Mike Russell! I learned to sign Circle Game almost 50 years ago. I was very rusty but most of the signs came right back so while tears streamed, I was able to "sing" with Joni! And you captured the beauty of Joni's finale and her being howled back for the encore. I will replay over & over again, while I relish the memories of actually being there!

      @@janelliott679 I hope you do it. It's the most beautiful, picturesque song! I can't sing a note but when I sign I feel as if I'm singing as expressively as Joni!
      I don't know if signs have changed over the decades or if interpreted differently in different areas but I was taught to interpret some words more concretely. So "drag your feet to slow the circles down" became "you wish time moved slower", "until the last revolving year is through" became "man becomes old and dies". Even "round and round" was signed differently at different parts of the chorus.

    Thanks so much for taping this magical evening. I was pretty melancholy after watching her performance at Newport last year. I admired her courage in doing a show, but I feared we had lost the Joni I grew up with. Thankfully, I was wrong about losing Joni, as she came alive on stage on June 10.
    Her days as a soprano have long since passed. However, her vocal range as a contralto enriched her songs. Her phrasing is impeccable! Thanks, Mike, for posting this!

    Neil Young created the song “Sugar Mountain “, which offered the view that once adulthood was reached, it was all downhill from there. Joni created “ Circle Game” to counter his dismal view. What a well crafted, beautiful song.

    • @gusmozart
      @gusmozart Год назад +1

      Give Neil a little more credit. He wrote that tune on his 19th birthday! Joni was friends with him already, and wanted to write a song to counter it, to give both herself, and Neil, hope for growing older. Both songs are beautiful, and have endured throughout the ensuing decades.

    Rudyard Kipling
    1865 -
    1936
    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
    If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with triumph and disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;
    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;
    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch;
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run-
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And-which is more-you’ll be a Man, my son!

    I cannot think of another woman who has cast such a giant shadow on music over the last hundred years. In fact, I am hard-pressed to think of any woman in history who has been so influential. Every girl who has ever picked up a guitar or sat at the piano and tried to write a song, I was tribute to Joni. Taylor, Swift, Adele, Lady Gaga, Sara Bareilles, Beyoncé. You name them. They all know who is the woman that motivated them.
