It would be in .wav and slightly over 1 gigabyte in size. You also might find the quality of this audience recording somewhat better. YouTube audio is heavily compressed. I have tested my copy and it is not derived from .mp3 If I were to upload it, it would take me a couple of hours, and it would be a large download, which you could burn to 2 CDs.

Her style of delivery is very haunting and the way she uses her voice sounds experimental.

It wasn't like he was trying to make himself sound better or smarter or whatever. Just a regular guy. And I felt like he was the one talking to me which also brought to mind one of my best friends who talks just like that. Stream of semiconsciousness Happy New Year All!

So funny to read about his trip to Costco (he found some stuff to buy) and Sports Authority (didn't find anything there)... just a regular guy, I guess.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my Neil Young question. I love Neil Young but I think it's time I rediscovered him. There are great swaths of his work I've never listened to.

My stereo is pretty old too now. I need to pull out my Joni LPs and take a good look at the LP comers now that I am finally reading Hinton book. He goes in to such detailed descriptions over the covers. And he is right, the CDs do not give justice to her artwork or for anyones artwork on their covers. Cheers and happy new year!
