Reflecting on Vernon Duke's 'Autumn In New York' - a song so good there are no bad versions. I have loved, in my time, the Sinatra version, the Ella & Louis version....but right now, it's 100% late Billie youtu.be/9-_wbY55PMA?...

Joni Mitchell by Graham Nash, 1969
"I don’t think you can be in love with Joni Mitchell and experience life with her and not love her forever. I think she’s a genius. I keep coming back to the thought that this was all over 50 years ago, half a century ago."

Graham Nash shot Joni Mitchell through the back of a kitchen chair in 1969.
"She was listening to an acetate of her record [Clouds] prior to the release to make sure everything was right... My God, isn't she beautiful?"
