Hi Bree & Bob, Yes thanks Bob for saving me as well, from the politics of the day! I had some additional comments to add from my previous post on the Night Ride Home discussion.

(everything is alright in the world.....the crickets affirm this > :-) ) This title cut makes the whole album. It evokes such a feeling in me and a flood of memories. I could smell the night air and see the stars when I listen to this one. It's a great car song for a long car trip. > Passion play: A truly brilliant song!! In my top five of all time Joni > songs.

Just a great song and another one that makes this album so special. It does seem to be about some gathering over two lovers. An engagement party, wedding, shower, or someone who is marrying out of her class, moving on up, and the meeting of the families. Anyone else have any insight or opinion? I'd love to hear some thoughts on what this is about. > Ray's Dad's Cadillac: This song has really grown on me. I think it's quite > clever.

I used to really not like this song at all, but it has grown a bit on me as well. > Two Grey Rooms: Oh what can I say!! What a gem!!

Short... but ever so sweet. I agree as most Joniphiles do this is one of her greatest not only of the last 20 years but in all of her body of work. Enjoying this analysis of NRH> Peace, Susan Yahoo!
