Joni Mitchell & Herbie Hancock


Herbie Hancock won a Grammy. I was surprised.The last time a jazz album won album of the year was 43 years ago. Seeing him on stage with Larry Klein was a real treat. Especially when he slipped a "Yes We Can" into his acceptance speech. You may or may not recall that he performed in Will-i-am's recent video, in support of Obama.

Below is "Court and Spark", from the aforementioned winning record. All thanks to sweet Joni.

I confess that I haven't watched the grammies in over 20 years! I'm just not up on any new music.

I'm pretty much with jojo. Just lost interest sometime back. However I am a big Joni fan so this sounds good. Since I didn't see the show I didn't know about the "yes we can" spot. Cool!

Big Joni Mitchell fan here! So, it's really a treat to see a photo of her and Herbie Hancock.

I just took a look at the Bill Maher post and had a good laugh. He certainly says it just the way I like it said about religion.

We thought of you when we passed the sign for the Mendocino coast, heading north and south.
