Yes, it would be interesting to see who won what in 1969, and you know what, Bob? You're the perfect person to research it! (insert emoticon here)
I agree that that was a fertile time (these young whippersnappers just don't make music like they used to), but I honestly think whatever won, if it had been STAS it would have been no less deserving ... that's how highly I think of STAS, one of Joni's best. But because music suffers from chronic iron-poor blood these days, SIAM looked good, like Geritol. Fred In a message dated 3/1/02 8:01:49 AM, SCJoniGuy writes: ><<Bob, did you really write this?
