Welcome, Stu. There are a great many generous people on this list. I agree, it's amazing, you send money off into strange territory and you get CDs back in the mail. I'm amazed that they get through the mail and through customs too, but they do. > * The state of the list - yes, I couldn't believe > how many messages > came in and the relevancy of some of them (I > guess it's the eye of > the beholder). It has been extremely busy around here lately; not that it's ever very quiet. There has even been a lot of Joni content lately (fancy that!), although I enjoy the njc as well. Another lister said, not too long ago, that it's kind of like a pub where you go to hang out with your friends - mostly friends you've never met (which brings to mind - who said this? - there are no strangers; just friends you've never met. Was it Will Rogers? Forrest Gump? Barney the purple dinosaur? Confucius?) > I still > have not seen Travelogue on sale but recently > bought 'Both Sides Now' > and was completely shocked.

My guess is, if you don't like BSN, you probably won't like Travelogue. I could be mistaken though - with Travelogue, it's Joni singing all her own songs, but in a similar (very similar) style to that of BSN. If you can picture (or hear) that, and it sounds interesting, you should try it (it has the bonus of a great package with a book of lyrics and another of Joni's art; and if you put/play the CD(s) in your computer, you also get a Joni art gallery to stroll through as you listen.) If that doesn't appeal, save your pennies for another day. Stay safe in the UAE.
