...Furry sings the blues -

Old Beale Street is coming down
Sweeties' Snack Bar boarded up now
And Egles the Tailor and the Shine Boy's gone
Faded out with ragtime blues
Handy's cast in bronze
And he's standing in a little park
With a trumpet in his hand
Like he's listening back to the good old bands
And the click of high heeled shoes
Old Furry sings the blues
Propped up in his bed
With his dentures and his leg removed
And Ginny's there
For her kindness and Furry's beer
She's the old man's angel overseer


Joni at the the Luminato Festival - 70th Birthday concert June 18 2013 at Massey Hall:



... a song from an aging child...



...who saw the world from both sides...

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all



Safe home, Joni.
