So altho I haven't 'followed' him I am familiar with his name, when it comes up, and the fact that he's a drummer. But that was about the extent of my knowledge. I also just noticed he is the band leader ("direction"), as well as drummer for the upcoming June 2013 Luminato appearance. That prompted me to do some digging and found two articles alerting me to the recently posted YouTube video-sound of the song, Steadfast. Searching also dug up the archives where you & Kakki had a discussion about this way back when......but I never actively looked for the album, nor do I remember the discussion. So this all came as something surprisingly new to me. So, I was very excited to find all this info for the website. I do have a question re: the video........do you believe we are hearing Joni's voice at @5:09 to 5:19 / 5:24? I believe it is her voice (tho my hearing isn't what it used to be). My son thinks it could be electronic. I don't have the album to see if electronic music was used. I know I've been amazed before when what I originally heard as an actual instrument.....turns out to be the instrument of Joni's amazing voice itself (Court and Spark album is a good example of this). What do ya think? Is that actually Joni's voice?? I'm curious Laura This record is really great. I bought a copy when it came out for the Joni bit but love the whole thing. For those who have not heard Joni's contribution on "Steadfast" you are missing out. Laura (I'm guessing) has linked the article to the video so you can hear it RIGHT NOW. Haunting and beautiful and everything that her next project should have been.
