judy collins - daddy, you been on my mind

The backstory on the reasons why I chose this video are probably more interesting than the video itself. This weekend is Mother's Day, and I was trying to figure out what artist my mom would like to see in this space. After rejecting Celine Dion and Susan Boyle, I hit upon Judy Collins. So I did a little snooping around YouTube and found this performance of Bob Dylan's "Mama, You Been on My Mind," which she changes to "Daddy, You Been on My Mind." Interestingly enough, "Mama" is one of my dad's and my favorite Dylan songs, so it fit the family theme. Bonus points for Pete Seeger just sitting there being cool and drinking coffee.
