Well, I thought I could introduce myself a little more. Joni has been a favorite artist of mine for many years (and I do have many other favorite artists). I'm a music lover and a pro musician myself, a drummer to be more precise, and I also used to be a cellist. I do have most - but not all - of Joni's records. The first one I got to know about 30 years ago, was Ladies of The Canyon, and it still remains a favorite of mine.
I already loved BSN (a case of you & both sides now brought me to tears many times). I was expecting Travelogue to be even better, and it is. It gives a new light to many great songs, and I'm moved beyond description : by the words, by the music, by the arrangements, by Joni's humanity and PERFECT voice, by the musicians (Wayne Shorter has been a favorite of mine for many years too), by all the creativity and intelligence of all the people involved in this project. I know I've read negative criticism, even from old fans as it seems, but I truly see Travelogue as Joni's art matured and perfected. I was having dinner with my 12 year old son tonight, listening to the CD, and he said (although he doesn't understand the words): "what a woman!" I won't post to often I guess, since I'm pretty busy and English isn't my first language, but I do appreciate reading the messages on the JMDL!
