I'm deeply grateful to Bob and encouraged by his insightful comments on my CD LET IT
FALL. So I want to say hello to one and all on the list and add my own thoughts to
Bob's.
When I think of JM and all the vinyl records I wore out and new copies I had to buy, I
realize that what's so compelling about all the work is her ability to be so intimate
and truthful with us and how that somehow comes through the recordings - how it feels
as if she's singing right to me and that I know her personally even though I don't.
The LET IT FALL CD has been pushing around in my mind for almost a decade and there's
lots of reasons- practical reasons and reasons of spirit - that it's taken me so long.
And now that it's out, I start see how courageous JM really is.
I'm thinking now about that word encourage which must mean "to give courage" and I
suppose that is what all artists thrive on.
About Willy/Willie- I was confused by that as well but the title Willie is how it is
registered with the Library of Congress. The publisher and ASCAP list it that way as
well with no alternative spelling so that's the official title from a legal standpoint.
To find out more about LET IT FALL and to hear the cover of Willie, please visit
http://www.clearsong.com/sounds (there's also an unreleased cover of Jericho slated
for my next CD)- The sounds page has links to the internet radio stations and mp3.com
where there a few CD quality MP3 files. The CD is available in many of the internet CD
stores (cdbaby.com, amazon.com and many others)
So- now this music is about you - kindred spirits in one way or another - and I hope
you can take the time to listen in, leave a comment and perhaps even purchase a copy
if you're so inclined. Also, please send me an e-mail. I do really want to hear from
you.
