There is the new CD, only available in the UK, not with Joni, alas, but... it's all Shakespeare, either sung or read. And the highlight (for me at least) is Rufus Wainwright's composition and singing (with his mom, Kate, on banjo) doing "Sonnet#29: "When In Disgrace With Fortune And Men's Eyes". It's gorgeous, and . . .the mp3 of it is downloadable at: http://homepage.mac.com/richardsfgoldperson it's "Sonnet+29.mp3" Enjoy! Richard ----------
