Joni did some: The wires in the wall are HUMMING. All romantics meet the SAME fate. He comes for CONVERSATION. Not like you love your FREEDOM. She's very subtle about it, and it's not just about vocal ambition. It often emphasizes a plot point in the song. The ones that give me chills are her pairs of ascending triplets in Coyote's "no compreHENDING" and "dark GLASSES." Its not as easy as it sounds. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #218 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send tojoni@smoe.org.
