I've long believed that Tom Rush was the first person to record songs by Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne, before either of them had their own recordings. Is that true? Or is one of my cherished folk facts just a factoid? Tom's first album, "The Circle Game", included Joni's "Tin Angel", "Urge for Going", and "The Circle Game", and Jackson's "Shadow Dream Song". It also included two by James Taylor ("Something in the Way She Moves" and "Sunshine Sunshine"), so maybe he should be added to the list. Somebody should be able to answer this one.

Aloha,
