"Both Sides Now" Joni Mitchell cover

Joni Mitchell is amazing. There is a version of her playing this on "The Johnny Cash Show" in the late 1960's; she is so young and her voice so pure, resonant and beautiful. I lowered my tuning a whole step, then used a capo on the 5th fret to get the right key for my voice. Thanks for listening.

Beautiful... really enjoyed this. Question-why lower guitar a step and capo 5-- isn't that the same as capo 3 in regular tuning?

LOL, yes it is Jeff. I was "searching" the fretboard on the spot and humming to get the right key for my voice, and that's where I wound up. You are astute in your observation. Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks Eddie. I always thought Judy Collins wrote it, but it was Joni Mitchell. Check out her awesome version on the "Johnny Cash Show" on You Tube. Thanks for your kind words.
