He played piano the whole time, which is a pretty rare thing. It sounded like he had the sustain pedal down the whole time, even when he was talking. Is that his normal take or did the sound guys add reverb?

Here's a story that I will share, hopefully it means something to some of you. Waaaaaay back when, when I started my Covers project, I googled song titles (search capabilities weren't near where they are now) and when I entered "You Turn Me On I'm A Radio" I got a hit on an obscure LP from a Hamburg singer named Magret Wessel who did a version. I entered the track into the database, put it into my ebay "saved searches, and from time to time searched for a copy of the record. Never any luck. So... Today when I get home, there's an email from Magret and she sent me a copy of the recording, transferred from vinyl to digital. Her note is so sweet I just can't keep it to myself: "Dearest Joni and friends of Joni Mitchell, I am a german female singer. By chance I found my name on the Joni Mitchell Website for Undercover Singers - and I was very surprised and feel honored! I send you the Titel 'Turn me On' from the Old LP from Country Castle. It was a recording from Live-Gig. Unfortunately there's no digitally recording at all - only the analog recording from the LP from 1977. Maybe it is not very good - but I was so proud to sing Joni Songs, my favourite singer for my life. I hope you enjoy it a little. Thanks and My best wishes yours grateful Magret Wessel" Made my day. Never give up. Bob ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:27:04 -0700 (PDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Thanks for writing, njc Yup.
