Joni Mitchell, the legendary artist who when she was young and doing her first open-mic nights, songs at local taverns, etc., was dating a guy who told her she had no talent and should give it up. We are all better that she didn’t listen.
This video also showcases Gordon Lightfoot at his finest: When he opens the door, lights a few candles, opens the wine, and doesn’t sing nor touch a musical instrument. Someone should have nipped the whole Gordon Lightfoot thing in the bud when they had a chance.
David, what a gem! Thanks for sharing!
