Three songs from that album are on "Songs of Shadow, Songs of Light" and I wanted to do "Banquet" and "Electricity" but opted to find material from other records. Actually, Matt Clark told me I needed to "move on" to some of the other albums. : ) Laurie On Fri, Nov 28, 2014 at 6:20 PM, JMDL Digest wrote: > > JMDL Digest Friday, November 28 2014 Volume 2014 : Number > 1465 > > > > ========== > > TOPICS and authors in this Digest: > -------- > Which Joni song has been a life changer (if any)?
