You could do worse than sound like Sandy Denny. I much prefer her voice over Joan Baez's (I hate vibrato). In fact, if I dare be so blasphemous, I prefer Sandy Denny's voice to Joni's (not that I'm complaining about Joni's.) My Joni wannabe-ness was growing my hair long and bleaching it to make it blonde. I don't get how a person who started life as a strawberry blonde could have ended up mousey brown, but such is my life. I'm not sure what my original colour is anymore (apart from grey, that is) as I haven't given Mother Nature a chance to show me yet. That takes more courage than I have. The other thing was playing the guitar - when the music book for "For the roses" came out and they used the open tunings for some of the songs for the first time in one of those, that was a major revelation for me - I could have been in heaven. ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
