All this talk of Joni's high notes - I finally had to go check some of them out. The highest note Joni hits that I have found on a cursory look at her recordings is a high F#, which she hits on The Arrangement, California, and in her guitar duet on MOA's Your Turn Me On... She hits a high F on All I Want and Carey. The highest note I found on her first album was an E (in Song to a Seagull). If anyone can think of others, I'd be interested. I also heard her first album after LOC and Clouds - and thought, well why didn't she use this lovely full bodied voice on her 2nd and 3rd album. The range of notes is somewhat lower, but it is the quality of her tone and timbre that I like so much better.

And also "Pirates of Penance"...some pretty high notes on that bad boy as well. But I would say that while Joni's high register is certainly in full evidence on STAS, she does go for some lower notes on this record that she doesn't seem to approach on Clouds. Matter of fact, I didn't get this record until the late 90's, and the IMMEDIATE thing that I noticed were the low notes like right off the bat when she sings "painted the pastel walls BROWN" on IHAK.
