I'm listening to a couple of different versions of Bells For Her done live.. and I keep thinking.. they're all great, but there's just SOMETHING about the To Venus and Back live cut that just sends chills up my spine.. does anybody feel similarly about this song or another version of the song, or a different song?

In a couple of days I'll talk -- a very little, because it's too early - -- about the music, when it's sunk in a little more. Apart from driving around (or sitting in a parked car) listening to music (and to the first chapter of the Coraline CD) we did a number of extremely sensible things, including buying our daughters Daphne-and-Scooby Doo Barbies, trying to figure out the best wall on which to hang this painting[1], eating sushi, sitting on the beach talking about copy protection for CDs (a bad thing, we decided, for a number of reasons) the difference between the Country and the Land and the pros and cons of keeping a weblog like this one, and, later, watching a lightning storm from the end of a dock. Good wines were drunk, although we never were. Then it was this morning and we were on our way to the airport, and on the road she sang me a song called "Snow Cherries From France" which hasn't been recorded yet and isn't on the new album but has to be recorded and go and live somewhere, because it's truly lovely. And then I came home. The Daphne and Scooby Doo Barbie was, you'll be happy to know, an enormous hit. ============================================================== [1] The painting in question can be seen here: http://www.kellibickman.net/illustration/fishbones.html Beth - -- "Hamish: Is your father a ghost, or are you conversing with the almighty?

So I'm gonna try to fit all my Tori stuff onto one cd, and I want to add some rare stuff (I have some but not a lot). Can anyone recommend some good ones that are downloadable off the net? Thanks. - -Lisa ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2002 22:15:22 -0400 From: Cyndi S Crawford Subject: Re: just a random thought. Lisa said: "Why listen to it live?

I do agree that the original version is quite stellar.. can't deny that.. but there's something--and I can't put my finger--that just gives me chills (good ones) about the TVAB live version.. *shrug* Sincerely, Cyndi S.
