Steve Silberman
The late #DavidCrosby and #JoniMitchell wrote a song together late in their careers. It's a beautifully drawn sketch of an unforgettable woman, "Yvette in English." They both recorded it and both versions are great: Joni: https://youtu.be/rKsE1ZR86MM Croz: https://youtu.be/6-NTj3L3yro

@stevesilberman That's a beautiful juxtapostion. It reminds me of an experience I had: after the terror attacks in Paris in November 2015, I wrote a poem, "Bataclan", that I posted on Facebook. Then I set it to music. I didn't know that my friend Roli Frei was setting it to music at the same time. Here are the two versions:

Human Shields (my band); https://humanshields.bandcamp.com/track/bataclan
