Mark forwarded this question for his friend Melanie:

>Has the joni list ever
talked
about the time signature(s) in the song Turbulent Indigo?  What the
heck is
it? It shifts, or I'm imagining things. It seems like it floats
between 4/4,
sometimes 2/4, sometimes 3/4.... is it 4/4 with a 5/4 measure or two
thrown
in there every now and then to throw off our expectations?<

I'm glad it's not just me who gets cunfused by some of her time signatures.  
I finally decided in the case of this one (TI) that it was generally 3/4 with 
an occasionally dropped beat (say down from 3/4 to 2/4), but only the 
Jon'ster would know, I suppose.

The two that still stump *me* are "Stay in Touch" and "Love Puts On a New 
Face" on TtT.  Anyone have those figured out?

Warmly,

Walt
