My Lost Treasure: Joni Mitchell

I got a few suggestions for today's lost treasure animal song.  It's a great one from Joni Mitchell.  Joni was in the news a lot over the summer due to her health problems.  We haven't heard too much lately, so I guess no news is good news.  I've got my prayers out there for a full recovery.

I've read a few different times that Joni wrote this song for actor/playwright Sam Shepard during Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour.  Sam was writing an account of the tour.  I'm not sure if it's a true story, but that's what I heard.

We'll do a few more animal songs, and then it's on to our next theme.  Girls names.  There are lots of good ones.  What's your favorite?
