I love this last version of 'Both Sides Now' that I discovered in my Singing classe...Jamilah was singing it wonderfuly thanks to you dear Ira who know how to make us sing the way it works for us...I may try to sing it...Jane sings it wonderfully, too. I may try this session Nana Mouskouri's and next session Both sides now!
Last year, when June Laura Kenny my wonderful foster mother had her strock and had lost her short term memory, I called and Dad Clifford Kenny passed Mom to me, right away I was inspired to gro on Youtube and find this song (I had listen to it for a few times the previous days) and asked Mom if she know the song and she said yes....when I ran this song, there was a big silence until it was finished...Mom was singing the song with difficulties but I could hear all her emmontional releases through her brocken voice...Dad took the phone and thanked me and told me that the song released all the pressure and stress which were blocked in her...it seemed that her tears were running generousely to give her some comfort...from then, I picked songs that I liked and it worked, she somehow started to trust again in her and so Dad and others...
It seems that the music memory is located somewhere that the strock cannot affect it...Since then, I decided to memorise my favorite songs....thanks to you Joni Mitchel with your amazing song 'Both sides now'
Here some information about the book Mom wrote about the time she was in Hollywood...

Fleeing the Fates of the Little Rascals
 |
| June Laura Kenney |
I am a former 'Little Rascal,' circa 1934-1939, and was in a few other Hollywood 1930's films, but that wasn't the future I wanted. Instead I wanted the world of books, reading and writing and headed myself in that direction, later becoming a teacher for 36 years.
Along the way I was helped and loved by many blessed adults, and some of them were even famous and very noteworthy. I tell it all in my own book, 'Fleeing the Fates of the Little Rascals.'
View, through the eyes of a child and teenager, the scene of growing up in the glamorous Hollywood of the 1930s and 1940s! During childhood, the author visited or auditioned at almost every major movie studio in Tinseltown. What was it like to work on the set of Hal Roach's Little Rascals? To be given a screen test with one of Hollywood's greatest directors? To be told "never again to call" the office of Columbia Pictures studio boss, Harry Cohn? To receive from one of the Marx Brothers, the gift of a camera? Author Laura June Kenny experienced all this and more. Her memoir provides a unique look at a Hollywood and a Southern California that is no more, and cannot be replaced. Born disadvantaged in the worst year of the Great Depression, her fate was to be discovered and to be loved by a disparate group of people who inspired her to reach for the "real stars," and thereby find her stardom. Filled with rare photos from the author's own collection, this is the story of a Hollywood moppet turned teacher, writer, public speaker, emcee, wife, mother, grandmother, and what she learned along the way!
To be followed...
