Janis Ian was writing and performing by the age of 14...a striking voice back then and a stunning voice now. Ms. Ian speaks for a moment on this video and then performs “At Seventeen”.
Initially, I’d planned to use a video from her original recording but then heard this one from just a couple of years ago and love it for the quality guitar and mellowed rich voice. I hope you have 6 or 7 minutes to relax and enjoy this song. I think it is a really good way for all of us to start the week.
I will be playing the video as soon as I sit down at my desk this morning- great way to start a Monday morning.
Great video with which to start a Monday morning. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day!
Gita, I hope it is one you'll play more than once.
Valerie, a spring chicken like you even remembers vinyl? lol. enjoy the video.
Faith, this will be a good way to start Monday.
Wayne, you are welcome and didn't she sound great?
Hi Mona,
I had never heard of her.
I will have to check her out when I get a ittle more time to enjoy the sounds for the day.
Best, Clint McKie
Clint, you'll recognize this song as soon as you hear it. Enjoy beautiful NM today.
Josh, so glad you enjoyed the music...didn't I see this exact comment on 9 other posts? Guess I'm not that special...the "god luck" gives you away.
Roger, have you yet to disapprove of any of my choices? lol This is a particularly good one. Glad you liked it.
Good morning Mona. It is a good way to start the week. I love the song and always am taken back to a time.....and moved.
This was one of my favorite songs back in the day. I even had the album. ^_^ Thanks for the memory, Mona!
You'll know when I don't like one of your choices.......................LOL.
Hi Mona~ Having a real problem with You Tube videos today. I got most of it. It's a great song and she's so talented! Good choice for Music Monday.
Leslie, glad you liked it...it started my day out well too.
Maria, completely my pleasure.
I don't know Roger...it's so hard to know what you are lolololol thinking...who am I fooling?
Donna, thanks and so nice to hear from you.
Pat, I remember my parents telling me about 8 tracks, ;-D We really enjoyed having lunch with you and Leslie visited with Gretchen for a few minutes at the Easter Hat Parade.
