I guess my main issue with this discussion is (and I probably should have framed it in this way) I think Jonibs later period, Night Ride Home through to Shine, has a lot of beautifully classic songs b& Two Grey Rooms, Borderline, even Love Puts On A New Face, which is another great performance from The Fez concert (which I just finished listening to). Shine is also a deeply emotional song for me. Hana, great song.

Shine ... Taming The Tiger ... Turbulent Indigo ... which is the best one, and as I'm listening to the Fez performance of Magdalene Laundries, I really have to say that this song is a masterwork, and probably the last best song she has written ... Agree? Disagree? Debate? :) Sue Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #1463 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
