In reference to Fauchja saying that except for Cool Water and Dancing Clown,
the rest of "Chalkmark in a Rainstorm" leaves you cold, are you saying you
like all of the CD except those two tracks, or you dislike most of the CD?
In any case, that's one of my favorites by her, and I don't understand why
people knock Cool Water. I love her version of that song.
I've steadily built up my collection of her CD's over the years, and my
latest purchase of two years ago was Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. I love
the songs on there, especially Paprika Plains, Talk to Me, Otis and Marlena,
and The Silky Veils of Ardor.
Now I'm working on her live albums. It's neat to see so many fans, because I
went through this stage where I thought I was her one and only true fan, and
nobody appreciated her but me. Silly, I know, but when you find a jewel,
sometimes you want to hoard it to yourself. Now I'm older, and I realize
that she's a human being with a special gift that she shared with the world.
All of us should share our gifts too, whatever they may be. Joni taught me
that more than anything.
