I have been listening to this album so the article is timely for me. I'm glad they talked about who Joni had singing and playing with her. I wonder why the lack of understanding of the Tea Leaf Prophecy? It is the first song that comes to my mind when I think of the album. Interesting article. Thanks.

It's OK, but nothing earth-shattering. It's BYT, after all, already covered a zillion times. What is left to do with it? Like you expect earth-shattering? All that changes is the price that you gots to pay to get in the Tree Museum! WD Flandez is a little fella from BC (I think - my memory sucks!) of probably Filapino background, with crazy Rasta-like hair. He tends to be soulful to the extreme, does an OK job and includes some rapping. Deborah Cox, one of the judges, says it's OK, but isn't really impressed. The Knight guy (Jordan? from one of those boy-groups, or onea dem boy-groups that my kids listened to ten years ago, but I don't remember which one - Boyz2Men or summat like that, kinda likes it. The other guy, Somebody Fair, Ron maybe? who is a producer of some major big-names, but who is kind of a grey-man who stands out in absolutely no way to Yers Truly, is OK with it - they are so non-commital that I don't remember even two minutes after. I am in here, typing badly, at a commercial break just after - I am THAT committed to you, Joni-Peeps! So, it's a big MEH with me. But should be here shortly, if not already, for dems what's wanna giva lissen: http://www.cbc.ca/covermecanada/ Big bye-byes from Canaduh and Happy Turkey Day to us! I know it's tomorrow in fact,but we kinda did it today, and I drank too much, but I don't care, because I dont' work anymore so whatevs. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2011 #329 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send to joni@smoe.org.
