In response to CC's; <<<Rarely am I struck by moments when while listening to Joni's music, the sheer cinematic power in the synchronization of the scene I'm viewing live and the music is overwhelming.>>>
It's the exception rather than the rule for people here to be sitting out in their gardens in T-shirts at any time let alone early May. However yesterday was one of those exceptions; not a cloud to be seen and warm. So it was a day for getting ourselves out to the garden. Our garden abuts a wooded area David Attenborough would have a field day with. I've gotten to know the habits of a lot of the wild-life as I spend so much time on the computer looking out the window. Just last Thursday our town was on the national weather news; hail the size of golf balls. I saw two magpies under the curve of a tree sheltering from that very pelting only to be shooed by a squirrel seeking the same shelter. Next thing the two magpies are swooping down at the squirrel and so it went on. I digress. Point is I feel like I'm getting to know the animals and their routines. Watching and listening to them is so therapeutic. So I'm playing The Hissing Demos and Dreamland comes on. The penny whistle at the beginning and then again, or was that a bird? The whistle is used throughout the song. Well what with the birds chirping, tweeting, cheeping, twittering and singing along I thought of Joni; " So I sat out in the sun ... ... and I tuned my guitar to the sound of that day ... ... so I tuned to the crows and the seagulls and the sonic references available ..." Dreamland coming on, dreamland dreamland. WtS
