Hi Kerry, Yes, it's true. Joni and James were once "an item". On the newly-remastered Joni & James at the BBC in 1970, they finish each others sentences.
[in several places] Several times. Often one offers an example. [And another example pops up in another voice.] It's quite obvious. [And charming too. Don't forget that!] Anyway, it's available when you send me: a.) a promise not to profit from this stuff. b.) 3 blank CD-Rs & c.) return postage. Now Kerry, go listen closely to "California" on the Blue album. Hear that opening lick that Joni plays on an Appalachian dulcimer? That's a straight lift from the patented James Taylor hammer-on catalog. She translated into a dulimer riff. I've never heard her discuss it but it's completely obvious to me. When the acoustic guitar joins in at 10 seconds, it's James. It's much easier to hear "California" as a duet on the BBC recording because it lacks the drums and slide guitar. This is the "fine mis-matching of a him and her" indeed. (Or is the "finest matching"?) Lama np: Tori on vinyl and the smell of English muffins from the kitchen From: "Kerry Berghoff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I thought I had read it somewhere that they were involved around the "Blue" time period and that a lot of that album referred to their relationship ending. Right? or merely rumor?
