good points vince...to the above question i would have to say all of them! maybe it's just me, but i really like hearing songs in a wide variety of arrangements, especially when it is the artist doing so...i know others are more likely to want to hear versions that stay close to the original version... this reminds me of my friend who told me about a bruce springsteen concert she went to years ago in town (she is a huge fan)...he played solo & really changed much of the arrangements around...different melodies, etc...she said a lot of people really were disappointed in the show...they just wanted bruce to be doing the songs they way they were used to hearing them... another example...hearing CPR doing a rocking version of 8 miles high (byrds)...i LOVED it...some didn't... interesting... ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
