I remember the first play of For the Roses. I was already onto Joni, buying every album the minute I could, but for some reason FTR is the one where I can close my eyes and picture the place and the feeling as the music washed over me for the first time. Same thing for my (even) younger self. I remember the "wow" of hearing the Doors and Jefferson Airplane for the first time. It was so powerful and so, so, carnal. Strong stuff for a 13ish year old girl stuck in the middle of the state if Maine.

The first piece was Overture track 1 side 1 Tommy I used to go to friends house each Friday night to listen to albums Abbey Road was played to death (Still get played once a week. The Soundtrack to Hair also copped a flogging. Then one night my friend said I got new album by the Who. He pu it on an I was floored by just the opening. Tommy gets played a couple of times a year when I can get time to hear it in it's entirety. The 2nd piece is Carry On Track 1 side 1 Deja Vu. My high school teacher turned me on to CSN and grass (both on the same day), thanks John. The intensity of the drone strings in D modal tuning that Crosby plays whilst Stills Stills plays that simple intro and then you are hit by the harmonies and they are so so pure. I am having a copy of these two albums go to my grave with me. Both on Vinyl too as the covers were pretty cool as well.

I have many LP vinyl records that I still play. Since they are not dusty, they still sound (mostly) like new. I had so many albums that I decided not to try to replace every one with a CD. If you want to, you can still listen to records. One thing about listening to records is that you don't have to commit to listening for 45 minutes, just for one side at a time.

It see,s to me she combined the best (jazziness of HOSL plus transcendental lyricism of H) of the previous two, plus the genius of Paprika Plains, and just had a KICKASS good time doing it. Funniest album cover of all time, too, at least until TI, which I hooted at out loud the first time I saw it. Always amazed when people hear I love JM, and say, but she's so GLOOMY! Really??!! Oh, I'm staying with a friend here in San Francisco (feels like hoooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!), who was turning me on to a Franco/Anglo singer called Mika whom I'd never heard of; in one Utube video he was being interviewed outside the '07 Grammies, and he said he was hoping to catch a glimpse of La Joni and maybe touch the hem of her dress. "HA!!" I said to my friend. I actually like Mika, btw, alhough I understand he's sick to death of the Freddy Mercury comparisons.
