And I thought you were cool just for your 60G All Prog Ipod. :-) Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Dave Blackburn Sent: Monday, September 08, 2014 8:48 PM To: JMDL JMDL Subject: Hejira - first generation master Hi all, A local audiophile named Kip Peterson has a sound system and playback environment to die for, with discrete monoblock amps, ribbon speakers the size of front doors, an astonishing turntable driven by Kevlar thread from a mechanically isolated motor, a top of the line CD player with outboard D to A converters, and a Studer 2 track half inch tape deck. In addition to a stunning vinyl and CD collection, Kip has a collection of master tapes of famous albums that were used to press the vinyl albums from - in other words exactly what came out of the mastering studio with the mixes cut together into the album. He has just purchased, at great expense, the first generation analog master tape of Hejira, and has invited Robin and me over tomorrow to listen through it. For me this is pretty much the Holy Grail, right here in Fallbrook! I think the rest of my bucket list has become irrelevant.

It was like working out for a marathon!!! :-) Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Jack Merkel Sent: Monday, September 08, 2014 2:54 PM To: Shari Cc: joni Subject: Re: DJRD Shari, While there are plenty of other Joni songs that I have a deeper emotional connection with, the lyrics to DJRD just knock me out! The imagination on display in these lyrics is remarkable. IMO, this is Joni at her most exhilarating creative peak. The imagery, the pacing, the musicianship, her signing all leave me breathless every time I listen to it.
