B I also listened to In France They Kiss on Mainstream and when she sings, "I SAID take me to the dance" although I hear a similar sound to what she sings in Songs to Aging Children Come, it has more of an "ed" sound than an "ad" sound. B Joni is talking about crying and weeping right before talking about listening... so maybe sad does fit. B But ask Marianne or anybody from Rochester, NY to say "said," and you'll hear "sad." B Ask an Arkansan to say "said" and you'll hear "Sid." B Ask somebody from the midwest like Kansas or Nebraska to say "said" and you'll hear "sed." B B It would be a good question to ask Joni.
