Another great night. I think it's the ENERGY of this song that draws people to it among many other components. Dave, any thoughts from you regarding this arrangement/performance?

In response to Les Irvin's link to Dulcimuse: http://dulcimuse.com/podcast/resource/002.html The link to Dulcimuse was another vein of gold. Having no musical background, I didnbt consider the effect of Jonibs work among other musicians. All I knew, the first time I heard the Blue album, is that it would last a lifetime. It has everything. With this focus on the dulcimer, though b and with a thought from Anitabs paper, where she said that none of the respondents in her survey mentioned rhythm as a foremost point b likewise, I would not have thought to mention the dulcimer songs in the Blue album because they are so intrinsic. Those are the songs that engage me to spontaneously sing harmony, start popping my fingers and, pretty much always, end up doing some little dance for joy. Thank you so much for that link!

Jeff Haynes on percussion was a MAD MAN!! :) From: Bob.Muller@fluor.com [mailto:Bob.Muller@fluor.com] Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 11:09 AM To: Susan E. McNamara Cc: 'joni@smoe.org' Subject: Re: Black Crow Well of course I love love love this song. It's such a ROCKER even given that there are no drums on it. There lots of great covers of it that rock it out even further. I'm a sucker for a great guitar riff and this one is one of her catchiest. It also starts with that crazy high note...THERE'S a crow flying...another rambling thought, the lyric "diving down to pick up on every shining thing" comes into my head all the time.

Both Jaco and Larry Carlton seem to be working on flourishes. I find it amazing and pretty daunting although I am pushing on!!! Would love to hear other ideas about this fabulous song!
