Joni's tune in New York is captured in her first album, Song to a Seagull. It features a complete cast: rude cabby, disillusioned divorcee, lonely transient and demanding lover-all of whom rise above stereotype to complement the leather-and-lace personality of 24-year-old Joni Mitchell.

These possess such hieratic dignity and beauty that a special citation should be awarded Scenery Designer and Costumer John Napier. How could these noble animals be maimed by a boy who revered them?
