I guess she has to be seen and not just listened to, like I said she appears to be very theatrical, bordering on "performance artist". Now the studio songs I'm hearing are a different animal altogether; nice melodies, good singing, much better. I appreciate your opinion; thanks for extending me the same courtesy pal...

Even though I'm not an American and have never listened to WUMB I'll lend my support, Mark. My vote goes to "Hark! The Village Wait" and/or "Parcel of Rogues" - both great albums. But, of course, I could name quite a few more Steeleye albums worthy of a place in any list of folk and folk/rock 'Greatest' lists! John (in Sydney).

Okay ,Catman, them's fightin' words! Perhaps the reason that the older recordings did better than the newer is that they could actually be considered "folk" albums and the station is largely a "folk" station, n'est-ce pas? But honestly, I've never thought of C&S as folk and I would never rate it anywhere near Hejira. The other day, in one of the rare moments when the fog cleared from my brain, I thought, "Okay, I have to chose one Joni album to take to a desert isle, which will it be?" The final choice came down to a showdown between STAS, Blue, and Hejira. In the end I had to chose STAS. I was eighteen, I was a romantic (hey, I guess I still am) and I know that I will always have a need to be able to listen the song Song to a Seagull. I guess it just cuts right through the fog. All the best, Rick ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 21:59:20 -0500 From: Julie Webb Subject: Chris Botti on SNL Sting was the guest tonight on SNL. He was accompanied by our new favorite jazzman, Chris Botti, known here on the jmdl as Joni's 'wind section.' Did anyone notice that the SNL's director gave Botti and Sting an equal share of camera close-ups? For the second set Sting shared the stage with what seemed to be several Turkish musicians and a vocalist who sang a duet (in Turkish?) while Sting sang a love song of some kind. That late in the program, I started to drift off then suddenly perked up hearing the exotic sounds made blending the music of these two----kinda like a rich dark Turkish Espresso meets a little Earl Gray with attitude while this handsome Botti-icelli-guy kept things percolating. So Joni. -JulieZWebb ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V4 #524 ************************** The Song and Album Voting Booths are open!
