Yes! I attended a wedding reception shortly before Hejira was originally release; found myself among a group of Joni fans, which was possibly one of the earliest JM discussion groups. I'd asked if I would liked Hissing, having read the negative reviews (tellingly, Songwriter Magazine gave it a positive review). Every one in the group said I'd like Hissing. One person said, "Yeah, great percussion work." It seems that jazz listeners took to Hissing quickly and it took a little time for it to grow on casual listeners - just a hasty generalization. momentarily de-lurking, Michael Hawthorne ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2002 09:11:28 -0400 From: Jerry Notaro Subject: Re: Joni & touring Jim L'Hommedieu wrote: > It's clearly apparent that she enjoyed herself at the > Much Music show in Toronto.

Damien, very cool that you & your Mom can share the music...if you want to compare then Joni & now Joni, you may want to opt for Taming the Tiger as opposed to BSN, as BSN just spotlights her as a vocalist. TTT spotlights her current writing, playing and vocals (plus it's a MUCH better record!). Just my thoughts.

JC Gang, That last note on People's Parties is, indeed, out of whack...I've never been able to make up my mind whether it's Joni's lead voice, back-up vocals or the instruments. I'm leaning toward the back-ups. Had a great Joni related musical moment this weekend. Went to Vegas for the first time...rented a car to got to Hoover Dam, and...I was driving across the burning desert when I spotted 6 jet planes................The 'Hejira' cover terrain..all while listening to .......the whole Hejira CD......sigh......... Love the way she narrates my life..past, present and (?)future...

On the whole this is a very lyrical song, I think Jackson did learn alot fom early Joni songs on how to write verse. Neil Young's level of song about Joni never passed his 13th grade level of education. This song "Fountain of Sorrow" shows a little more understanding of the 4th dimension, Time and its past present and future. Sherman set the way back machine to 1973 Laurel Canyon, California.
