CLOUD COVER - Kathy Geary Sings the Songs of Joni Mitchell

I'm getting ready for my Joni Mitchell concert Friday June 21. I've been obsessed with her songs for the past couple of years, learning the alternative guitar tunings and miles and miles of lyrics. It's a daunting program. I'm feeling like I've reached a new plateau and am writing some original music being so inspired by her work. Also last week, celebrating my birthday coming up on June 20, I went to three concerts: David Crosby in NJ, Becca Stevens in NYC and Snarky Puppy in Brooklyn. Inspiring!!

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.” ― Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through it and Other Stories

“Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time?" That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.” ― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
