I thought the phrase "ruddy darter" was pretty "Joni-ish" and even "brilliant red" - of course arbutus rang a bell or two as well! I've said this before, but I love the way Joni uses words different than the norm, like she's thinks "that's too boring, what other more obscure word(s) could I use?" The one that jumped out at me was the word "keloids" instead of "scars" from Talk To Me: "It still gets my feet up to dance, even though it's covered with keloids, from the slings and arrows of outrageous romance." The author of my favourite book (the bone people by Keri Hulme) talks about the way words look and feel - for example, she says "bluegreen" conveys a different meaning to "blue-green", and I definitely agree. Even "okay" is slightly different to "OK".

In their own way the shows kind of fit the songs. Also I never heard the "Moon at the Window" story going around during theWOHAM show. Could someone please tell it to me.
