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? Lindsay
