I'm trying to think of who's covered "River" and did a crappy job of it. I especially liked the Heather Ramsey's cover of the song. What a great singer with some cool jazz piano. Karmacoda's River was definitely good and different with the electronic pop style to the song. Silje Neergaard's River was excellent too. I read that she's one of the most sold jazz artist in Norway, and deservedly so. Only 5 BSN's on this CD, but I really liked the sultry voice form Miranda Sage. I'll have to agree with you regarding your distant relative, Liesel Muller. It was like listening to Marlene Dietrich spitting out the words to BSN, bless her aging heart. Jay White actually did a good job with Free Man in Paris. I saw some of his youtube video's and he is a ringer for Neil Diamond in the Vegas circuit. So this old fart wants to THANK YOU for providing me with some more pleasure with your awesome covers. Happy Holidays to all my Joni friends, Gay delurking, Jimmy In a message dated 12/22/2012 1:05:55 PM Eastern Standard Time, scjoniguy@yahoo.com writes: > Well, I have to get out and get a couple of last-minute items, but I'll > get > this out before I do.
