Joniphiles - There's a new article in the Library for all you academic types.
It's an analysis of her "harmonic innovation" published last spring by Cambridge University. Some pretty interesting points are made but it's not for the faint of heart as it runs 20 pages long in the publication and includes sentences like:
"The Mixolydian flavour in this song takes the form of an extended 7th chord built on the tonic. In the instrumental interlude this chord (D13-11) is non-functional or rather, a function (movement to IV) is implied without materialising."

Possible snoozefest for some... :-)
Les... who hasn't even mentioned that the Library has surpassed the 1,000 milestone.
