Welcome to the musical diary

Welcome to yet another superfluous blog. In this blog my trusty sidekick and I will be putting up cover versions of great songs of the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and the best of today. The collaboration however is entirely virtual.
The name perrywinkle wasn't chosen for any particular reason but I do like the meaning.

Joni Mitchell - The Circle Game

At long last, Spring has arrived in Berlin.
Unfortunately the door to our balcony is broken and won't close properly making it difficult to record music due to noise from outside. All this inspired me to leave the door open, giving you the sound of Spring and do Joni Mitchell's great song about the circle of life. I'm playing this on a small guitar a Tanglewood TBBaby using open tunings (EBEG#BE).
I couldn't really relate to this song before I had children of my own but now I think it ranks among the best of the generation songs along with "Teach your Children" by Crosby, Stills and Nash.
