	Joni Mitchell Breaks Up Opening of Festival 
	
	In an open field outside Schwenksville last night, a girl with 
	blonde hair long as uncut wheat brought several thousand listeners 
	to their feet, cheering for a voice echoing words that haunted. 
	
	Joni Mitchell had stopped the opening night of the seventh annual 
	Philadelphia Folk Festival dead in its tracks. 
	
	Only her plea that she was not permitted any encores beyond her 
	20 minutes of five songs silenced the shouting that proclaimed 
	this girl a sensation. 
	
	It was her first appearance here since her only album appeared 
	earlier this year. 
	
	Joni Mitchell - a 24 year old Canadian, with only one album, and 
	a reputation that has blossomed her into the most exciting girl 
	singer since Judy Collins, since Joan Baez.
