Joni Mitchell will be 80 on November 7th. After suffering a brain aneurysm rupture in 2015 I can say hand on heart I would not have been surprised if an announcement saying the worst was on the cards.
It didn't come and after undergoing physical therapy and learning to walk again on July 24th 2022 with the support of many friends she played a set including a solo on the guitar at the legendary Newport Folk festival in Rhode Island.
I confess to not loving 100% of her music but oh my gosh if you read her Wiki you will see what a legend she is.
She is incredibly loved and respected by so many and Brandi Carlisle especially has been with her through it all, much respect to everyone.
Here she is singing Summertime and then Circle Game with some of her friends at the 2023 Gershwin Prize concert on March 1st where she was awarded the 2023 Gershwin Prize for her lifetime contributions to popular music.
There is a long introduction before the song by the way.
