I recieved this book as a birthday present from a wonderful girl that was on holiday with me Luxembourg, Jerry. She discovered Buckley very recently (as in a matter of weeks ago), and is unable to listen to anyone else right now! I had jsut picked the book up and was flicking through it and my eyes stalled on the name of Patti Smith (my *other* woman!). I didn't want to read the passage, but i did:-( There i found a cute story about Buckley performing on Smiths album Gone Again:-) He laid down a vocal for the track Beneath The Southern Cross. Then the band began working of Fireflies, and Jeff Buckley had the idea of using an instrument called an essrage. This would add an interesting buzzing sort of sound to the track, while maintaining the "exotic, mournful quality" of the song. After the session, Patti Smith Group were happy wiht what had went down. Patti then found Jeff sitting in a cornor crying, for he felt that he had disappointed them all. Anyway, I am enjoying readng it, and recommend it to anyone that is a fan of Jeff Buckley, Tim Bukley. or both. GARRET NP- Jeff Buckley, People's Parties
