YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFor 50 years, the “mean old daddy” immortalised in one of Joni Mitchell’s best-loved songs was an enigma.

Kate and Cary Raditz met in Paris in late 2021 to talk about a love affair that began on the island of Crete in the spring of 1970, continued in California and England, and which became a part of Mitchell’s iconic album, Blue.
Written and read by Kate Mossman.
