Joni Mitchell made music so enjoyable, poetic and relevant. “Big Yellow Taxi” is a classic that I just had to cover as 2016 comes to a close; the song is fun and the lyrics as relevant as ever.

Joy to the World cover
Every so often I record my “basement tapes” using Garage Band. Also, Sarah and Mom like to hear me play. “Joy to the “World” is one of Mom’s favorites since I was a teen and she made a request I record it for her birthday. I overdubbed some guitar parts for texture and breaks. The high note vocals are a little wonky on this one – but remember, this is just for fun and part of the joy is leaving them rough. Enjoy! (Happy Birthday, Mom!)
