Coyote


I find this clip entrancing.

It is not just for the song, a brilliant piece of lyric poetry.

It is not just for the historical interest: Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Roger McGuinn at Gordon Lightfoot's home.

It is also because Joni Mitchell's singing voice eerily reminds me of my grandmother's.

And even her face in movement reminds me of my grandmother's.

It's the Irish in her.

Lots of coyotes in my part of Canada.
