Yes, she does make it seem easy, doesn't she?
And I suppose you're right about a lot of Joni's songs not transforming
easily to be sung in a gay context. I thought about "See You Sometime", but
then saw the line about "holding some honey that came on to you". Likewise, I
looked at "Help Me" and the first thing that I saw was "sweet-talking ladies
man". "Last Time I Saw Richard" (which your record reminds me the most of),
talks of Richard getting married, which makes it more difficult.
I had the pleasure of singing "Amelia" with Paz on guitar at Jonifest 2000
and although I am straight, I left the lyrics as Joni wrote them, and that
one pretty much works as a 'man-to-man' song.
Anyway, thanks for the response, and I'm hoping you'll sell 600 or so CD's in
next couple weeks! :~)

song...shows what a great song it is!)
