what a great thread cc...i'll add my recent experience to this although it digresses from joni to ryan adams...jeff & i were in los angeles, driving home from a more southern gig...we were hungry & tired & decided to try & find a sushi place jeff remembered...it was late saturday night or maybe even into morning...but the sidewalks were full of people & the traffic at a standstill...urgh, i just wanted to stop & eat...ryan adams' gold was on our cd player...just as the last tune started to play (goodnight hollywood blvd), i noticed where we were...on hollywood blvd...took all the stress right out of me & it was such a surreal & perfect visual that we were part of which went perfectly with the slow sleepy mood of the song...>
>>Rarely am I struck by moments when while listening to Joni's music, the sheer cinematic power in the synchronization of the scene I'm viewing live and the music is overwhelming.<< ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
