In 1968, aged 14, simply the most beautiful and unusual music I had ever heard in my life. Nothing has changed for me in relation to that in the past forty seven years. I know I always say that, but there, I say it again! Croz may have been smashed when he got a Joni to sing into the piano, there may be distortion and hiss and poorly mastered, but the music on that record changed my life. I am not alone in that, I know. That scratchy original Dawntreader will be played at my funeral and 'twill be astounding and as beautiful as it always is!

Distortion was commonplace, awful tape hiss over an AM radio just blended in, drastic echo and reverb were part of the groovy head trip and mono gramophones in peoples bedrooms didnbt reveal much. Once FM came along and there was wider frequency bandwidth you could sort of tell a good recording from a bad one. What we are accustomed today, mp3s notwithstanding, is pretty deep bass, clear open treble and absence of artifacts like tape noise and distortion. STAS is, to be fair, not much worse sounding than plenty of 60s records - listen to Bridge Over Troubled Water again and check out the massive echo chamber and distorted mellotron strings. > > >> On Mar 7, 2015, at 6:44 PM, Jim L'Hommedieu wrote: >> >> I'll add these comments. >> >> I think it was in David Crosby's autobiography that he said that there WAS no recording engineer.

All this 60's talk reminds me of another album thats been on my mind, Sprit's "Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus" I used to have nearly everything from back then, its mostly gone, but thats one I have to pick up again for nostalgic sake. I understand its produced by David Briggs on the recommendation of Neil Young who did Neils early albums. David apparently picked Neil up hitchhiking in '68. What a scene it must have been.JeffNP: Joni TSATM (That Song About the Midway) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2015 21:42:29 -0600 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: Really?

Hang around here long enough and you will know that Muller can't resist a poke at "Dancing Clown," which immediately provokes someone else to talk about how much they love it. And, despite his complaining about how much he hates it, if he sang a version of it at a Jonifest, then either he doesn't hate it all that much, or else he'd be the first one to poke fun at himself. You don't have to find his video funny. I did, but everyone's different, and it's all good. Bob's video was hilarious. I'm not a hater of "Dancin' Clown" but the whole thing was well done and flat out funny to me. Your mileage may vary, but there was no harm done. If you don't like it then you don't. If you do and you got a good laugh then it served a purpose.
