I do love the tax payer funded CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation) and CBC Radio 2.
Radio 2 is one of the constants being streamed from my Samsung tablet through my 1977 Technics SA-5270 35 watt receiver.
Old and new come together for pure joy and entertainment.
This morning listening to Angeline Tetteh-Wayoe's Weekend Morning came a treasure.

Well not a total cover. Leave it to Prince to put a twist on things.
He plucks a verse and there's the song.
Here is Joni's masterpiece. I've included the lyrics so you can sing along.

Here is Joni's masterpiece. I've included the lyrics so you can sing along.
Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star and I said,
Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar
I am as constant as a northern star and I said,
Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter
And so sweet oh
I could drink a case of you darling and I would
Still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet
You taste so bitter
And so sweet oh
I could drink a case of you darling and I would
Still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine 'cause
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine 'cause
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter
And so sweet oh
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'ld be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
You taste so bitter
And so sweet oh
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'ld be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours, she knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds and she said
"Go to him
stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
She had a mouth like yours, she knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds and she said
"Go to him
stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine
You're so bitter
bitter and so sweet oh
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I'ld still be on my feet
hmm
You're so bitter
bitter and so sweet oh
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I'ld still be on my feet
hmm
I live in a box of paints
I used to be frightened by the devil
And drawn to those who weren't afraid
Remember when you told me
That love was touching souls?
Well, surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me from time to time in these lines
You are in my blood like holy wine
You are so bitter and so sweet
I could drink a case of you darling
And still be on my feet
Still be on my feet
You are in my blood like holy wine
So bitter, so bitter, so bitter
And so sweet
I could drink a case of you darling
And still be on my feet
Still be on my feet
Still be on my feet
And still be on my feet
