Donna responded: I love this thread!! Laurent, recently I had good luck with HOSL. The same folks also like DJRD. I too, however, have had bad luck trying to convert people with her very early works, I personally can't understand why they just don't love every note she sings like i do (ha ha), but have found it's easier if you break them in slowly. These same people did not respond til the SECOND time they heard HOSL, then said "wow that's really good, maybe I just wasn't listening the first time". donna >>> "Laurent Olszer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01/30/03 02:37PM >>> > From: "walterphil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > (thread #1) > whenever i want to impress someone who isn't a joni fan > i usually try cold blue steel and sweet fire > followed by maybe, song for sharon > usually gets at least a grudgingly positive reaction > > (jeeez how could they not?) > That's an interesting thread. Back in the days when I was still trying to turn non-Joni fans on, I usually played them first the song Blue to show the vocal performance. Then I would try to show the variety of styles with tracks from Mingus (The Wolf for instance) and DJRD (this was at least 10 years ago) I would never think of playing Song for Sharon nor Cold Blue Steel though. But again I've never succeeded at this (that's why I gave up). Laurent This message has been scanned by the E250.
