I listened to some of it over the weekend, not all. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback my friend! Bob From: FMYFL@aol.com To: scjoniguy@yahoo.com, joni@smoe.org Date: 11/18/2012 06:44 PM Subject: Re: Joni Covers #155 - Petra-fied Sent by: owner-joni@smoe.org Thank you Bob for another great cover CD. Not a bad one in the bunch. As you said, the first time Shadows and Light covered. I wasn't going to think it would be good, but I LOVED IT. Lee Bach did such a good job with S&L. Got me all tingly! My favorite has to be Lee Hye Won's cover of BSN. What a beautiful voice she has. Lea Michele's River was good, but pretty predictable as she is on Glee. Mark Lasley's River was terrific though. He's got to be a relative of James Taylor. Sounds just like him. Thanks again for another wonderful cover's CD. It makes my Thanksgiving another thing to be thankful for. You Rock!

And the lagoon of disembodied voices that swirl. It is inspired record making. On Nov 15, 2012, at 6:47 PM, "Mark" wrote: > Count me among the admirers of 'Sweet Bird'.

Now that I'm 58, it resonates more than ever. The passage of time seems to have been unbelievably swift and I often feel like I went to sleep somewhere along the way and 'woke up vanishing'. > > My favorite lines, however, are these: > > 'Give me some time > I feel like I'm losing mine > Out here on this horizon line > With the earth spinning and the sky forever rushing...' > > That image of being 'out here on this horizon line with the earth spinning and the sky forever rushing' can still bring on stirrings of the heart and mind that make me emotionally and mentally dizzy. The Circle Game played out at such a speed and to a place it was impossible for me to imagine back there behind from where I came when I first heard 'Sweet Bird'. It is nothing less than another deeply felt, exquisitely expressed mediation on the passage of time from a woman who is a genius in her art. > > Jim, you described the music and the feeling of the song so beautifully.
