<<After I sent this, something occured to me ... if any other versions exist
of GPPH using Joni's lyrics, they would certainly be "Covers" material. (Is
that the case with the Paganini Ensemble?)>>
That's a good question...my assumption is that it DOES have the vocal, like
the great Annika Fehling version. In that case, it would be a SUPER addition.
I agree with what you say and I don't want to start collecting a bunch of
Centerpieces and Mingus instrumental versions, but it's sort of a gray area.
By the same token, I'm not interested in bringing in the original "Why Do
Fools Fall In Love" because to me it's Frankie Lymon & the Teenager's song.
However, I wouldn't mind having the Buddy Holly version of "You're So
Square", I think that'd be cool!
As long as we keep communication open about it, there shouldn't be any
problems.
I can't wait to tell y'all about #12...
