<<Her inclusion of "Love" and "Slouching Toward Bethlehem" are grand gestures in illustrating her interpretive talents.>>
I'm sure that was an interesting exercise, CC...I try to play some of these in my head based on the "sound" of BSN, and some like "Love & "Slouching" are easy to hear and they already sound great in my mind's ear. But you're right, unless Joni performs a meliodomy* on it, O&M is gonna be a draggy dirge. I hope for the worst, because if it is a stinker than it's what I expected, and if it's a jewel it's a "beautiful surprise"! ;~) Not that I don't like O&M - I do. I just don't think it's right for this kind of treatment...of course I would hate to be the one to tell Joni that, I would chicken out fer sher! Bob, chicken squawkin, buk buk buk BUUUUK! NP: The New York Rock & Soul Revue, "Groovin'" * a word that I just made up - it means "performing surgery on a musical piece to add a rhythm or melody that wasn't present originally. Not to be confused with "meliectomy" which takes rhythm & melody away! :~) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
