> Maybe this is my time to let go of Joni. Jim, thanks for sharing this intimate "confession"...though I'm not ready to "let go of Joni" just yet, I must say that the way I feel now reminds me of how I felt after CMIARS...DED was OK, but certainly didn't compare to her 70's work (for me). Then Chalk Mark was just a miscalculated mess (to my ears), and I wrote her off. Well, we know what came next...I didn't get NRH until a friend bought it and put it on tape for me to hear. Then I knew that Joni was back (certainly not in a Hejira-ish way, but at least a major rebound from CMIARS) and I was back on board, even more so with TI. Now, BSN was a swing & a miss, as is T'log, so I'm a bit on edge to see where she goes from here. Especially having heard SO much great music this year, I know that I'm not losing an interest in music or that it fails to move me. I'm sure Joni will not lose a nanosecond's sleep either way! :~) And regardless, there's still all these great folks here, and all these blankety-blank covers! Bob NP: Karrin Allyson, "The Meaning Of The Blues" (I will say that if it were not for the covers project I would never have heard this EXCELLENT new release! Buy it for "Blue Motel Room", groove to the whole thing!)
