Joni Mitchell Birthday Special! Funding Drive Show #2
On November 14, 1975, Canadian radio history was made. When the strains of Joni Mitchell’s “You Turn Me On, I’m a Radio” transmitted over the airwaves at 93.1 FM, CKCU became the first campus-based community radio station in the country.
Joni Mitchell was born on November 7, 1943 so we wanted to pay tribute to this iconic Canadian singer- songwriter and painter. Drawing from folk, pop, rock, classical, and jazz, Joni has received many accolades, including nine Grammy Awards and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Rolling Stone called her "one of the greatest songwriters ever", and we tend to agree.
