Big Yellow Taxi
Hey Karen!
I'm starting to have some fun with your blog songs (yeah, I know, it only takes me about 18 months to catch on to anything).
I knew that Joni wrote it, of course (and I still like her version best. There is no one who has ever been able to touch her fantastic idiosyncratic phrasing). But I also had this version by Dylan running around in my head. I figured it was on Planet Waves (very strange album), but discovered it was on this 1973 compilation called "Dylan," which I haven't heard in years because I have on vinyl (And which I think I have confused with Planet Waves). If I ever have a transplant, I'm going to disinfect my LPs and haul them all with me to the hospital with a USB turntable and convert all that stuff to bits and bytes so I can listen to it again.
And, now iTunes tells me the Counting Crows have cut a version, which I am going to go listen to now.
I'm glad your counts are holding up there. If I do wind up in the transplant ward, you are one of my inspirations. (Though I hope not to replicate the mouth and taste issues, even though I lived on Carnation Instant Breakfast as a kid -- hey! Maybe THAT's what caused this MDS!)
Take care!
Greg
