By my time, I mean from the time of my youth when the music was &#8230; &nbsp;different. The artist is Joni Mitchell, who was a fantastic composer, author, and singer from the 60s and early 70s. She created many number one hits during her time. Many standing the test of time, especially her piece, <em>Both Sides Now<\/em>, which was released May 1, 1969 on her album, <em>Clouds<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In a later album created and released in 1976 titled <em>Hejira<\/em>, Mitchell wrote and sang about Amelia Earhart. In a haunting tribute to the aviatrix, she melded aviation history with contemporary times and music. The video created used historical films of Amelia\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<p>It is truly fascinating to watch all of the black-and-white images of Amelia and her airplanes from the 1930s. The old films make a fantastic backdrop to the song Joni created.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve not had a chance to hear the song, check it out here on YouTube &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/watch?v=N6d2RG2Rl64\">https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/watch?v=N6d2RG2Rl64<\/a> &#8211; or click on the image below.
