I've never been able to take JT in large doses. I
don't know why and there's no point analyzing it.
There's a particular shade of purple that I can't
stand either and I don't know why on that either. I
don't think I'm repressing anything, so let's not go
there. I do enjoy a lot of his stuff and I have a few
of his albums/CDs, but am not sure I could listen to
him sing more than 3-4 songs in a row (OK, I could
listen to a whole CD's worth but wouldn't listen to it
over and over again the way I can Joni and a few
others).
I did download an mp3 from one of *those* websites of
JT singing "The way you look tonight" live with an
orchestra. Does anyone have any idea whether this is
on one of his albums? I've checked but I can't seem to
find it - maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. Maybe it
was a TV performance? Or someone recorded it live at a
concert? Does anyone know? I love this recording, as
well as his "Christmas Song" that came out last year
around Christmas (imagine that!)
I'm planning to see Cheryl Wheeler at Hugh's Room in
December. I'm really looking forward to it - if it
weren't for you, Ashara, I probably wouldn't have
heard of her. That's one of the bonuses of being on a
list such as this.
