The Great Green Harmonies - Laura Day 17

Time for another Laura classic, the beautiful ballad Emmie. There are many different versions of Laura singing this on YouTube - because apparently it's the one song that she sang in every live performance. So here are two Emmies - the original version from 1968's Eli & The Thirteenth Confession album, and a late version from 1994 in a live setting with just piano and vocal trio backing (prefaced by Trees of the Ages - those "great green harmonies"). In a way the recordings span a career and a lifetime - it's a gorgeous song both ways.
