Terry We HAVE to stop carrying on these private conversations like this on the list! LOL! I played the cd for Freda yesterday and also my friend Robert. Neither one of them heard anything. I for one don't like all of the songs yet although they are growing on me. Stand outs for me are of course the ballads Sylvia Plath, When The Stars Go Blue, and La Cienega Just Smiled. I like the NYNY song too. There are others that I like as well. I like his voice alot and the acoustic guitar playing and then there is a certain sparsness and spontaneity about the production itself that is so real and under produced. I did NOT get it on the first listen, but was intrigued enough to give it another whirl and it had been in heavy rotation ever since and of course now I am learning a couple of the tunes as well. Swipe it back from your teenager and give it another try. Put it in a headphone walkman and take a stroll in the great sunny outdoors.
Best wishes, Michael P.S. tell yer old man we been fishingnin' out here and they have been plentiful as usual. Reds, Specks, Drum, Sheepshead, flounder, etc. NP-Wonderous Stories-Jon Anderson Live on 11/25/01 7:55 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > I've discovered many a great talent by ordering CDs of artists mentioned on > this list.
