Yes neither do I...and I thought BSN coulda been a little smokier and a little less syrupy. I'd like to hear more woodwinds and brass from the orchestra...percussion too...and lots and lots of Herbie H. > If she can achieve the sound that Elvis C. got with The Juliet Letters, > that would be fine with me. Have you heard that Bill Frisell (plus Brian Blade and Greg Liesz) album of covers of the Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharch collaborations? I nearly bought it last month.......and may have to this one. Tom np: Steely Dan "Aja"
