Fred said >>Where you will hear the major/minor shift in "Michael From Mountains" is on these lines: (starts major) "Michael wakes you up with sweets, he takes you up (shift to minor) streets and the rain comes (return to major) down."<<
Pardon my ignorance but would a major/minor shift be 'down' and a minor/major shift 'up' or is it unhelpful or incorrect to think of these changes in terms of higher/lower? If they WERE up and down respectively, we would then have a 'downshift' on the word 'up' and an 'upshift' on the word 'down'. Perhaps Joni's playing games again. Thanks Fred (I think it was you) for mentioning Norah Jones. What an album! I also agree with what you say about Pat Metheny, Jaco et al and all the magic music that came out of those days and those collaborations. mike in bcn NP A Remark You Made Weather Report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: Click Here
