This brings back memories!  I went to college with 5 albums, three of which 
I think were Joni, and my framed silk-screen of Joni's innner Court & Spark 
sleeve which I made in high school graphics class (still right by my side 
... I might ask to be buried with it).  The roommate I had loved Liza and I 
loved Joni.  Ugh, what a battle to get at that stereo!  I tried to be 
patient about the Liza, but she was like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. 
 That and Barbra Streisand.  To this day I think I've purged those songs 
from memory (well, there might have been some alcohol responsible for some 
of the brain cell loss ...)

On another musical note, I heard Sheryl Crow sing a great song on the 
radio.  I felt like I'd heard it before, great tune, a ballad, with the 
chorus, "and this is ho-o-o-me..."  Another line about something 'tearing 
me apart.'  Maybe some of you know it.  The thing that caught me though was 
one of her guitar strings sounded out of tune and that's all I could focus 
on.  Ugh!  I kept grunting!  Tune the guitar!  How could you record that 
out-of-tune string!  Anyone else hear it?  To me, Sheryl's voice often 
sounds flat.  Is it me?
