For Free

Story Behind The Song

This classic Joni Mitchell composition was a must-perform for me when I was finding my musical identity. Although I usually record my own original compositions, one day, while in the recording studio, I sat at the piano (which was close to its last day of acceptable tuning) and we recorded me singing this song live. Like most female singer-songwriters, I owe so much to this true artist.
