I received my dual package of winning CD's from South Carolina yesterday ( Thanks, Bob!) They are not only beautifully labeled ,but boy do they pack a punch. The live FTR is incredible. With all this talk about Electricity, it was quite apropos to receive this special recording of it and others from FTR. Her voice is in top form on these and such EMOTION!! I, too, have always felt Electricity was about my beloved JT who had to have torn her heart out, of course, I have to blame it on that darn Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire. I have also wondered if this song was not in response to Carly's frustrations with JT? She obviously still wants a connection to him despite the Minus's current lovelessness. She sees a change due to his uprising stardom ( FTR), and maybe she's projecting some self-loathing because of what she felt the fame and industry did to her???? No matter, Joni still wants to SEE HIM SOMETIME. And if you've heard the 1970 BBC duet concert of them, it sounds like one of her happiest times. She is almost giddy. Plus, when he comes out on the stage at her recent TNT Tribute, and sings River, it is to me, her most engaged response...... and now he has twin babies to raise and she had 2 grandchildren!!! Where am I going here? THANKS again BOB. You are the best. Only have listened to Dawntreader so far on Covers #29, man what a couple of velvet voices for that one! Fabulous.
Best to all, Janine Where are you now Are you in some hotel room Does it have a view? Are you caught in a crowd Or holding some honey Who came on to you? Why do you have to be so jive OK hang up the phone It hurts But something survives Though it's undermined I'd still like to see you sometime I'm feeling so good And my friends all tell me That I'm looking fine I run in the woods I spring from the boulders Like a mama lion I'm not ready to Change my name again But you know I'm not after A piece of your fortune And your fame 'Cause I tasted mine I'd just like to see you sometime Pack your suspenders I'll come meet your plane No need to surrender I just want to see you again We're in for more rain I could sure use some sunshine on my apple trees It seems such a shame We start out so kind and end so heartlessly I couldn't take them all on then With a headful of questions and hypes So when the hopes got so slim I just resigned But I'd still like to see you sometime I'd sure like to see you
