I jumped on the Joni train in 1968 when I was 10 years old (man I'm old!)
and that very, high soprano really gets on my nerves too! STAS I still like
alot, but I find LOTC and Clouds unlistenable, I consistently skip "My Old
Man" on Blue (donning asbestos suit) and "Banquet" on FTR. I like her voice
the best on HOSL.
