Tom Rush's version of Joni's classic, "The Circle Game" always has been, and remains today, my favourite version . It literally gives me shivers up my arms and neck every single time I hear him play and sing it!!!!! One of the 10 most vivid recordings of the 60s for pure emotional memory in my life. So, as I have often said, Thank You, Mike for another show that will touch my heart.
