Now that (hopefully) the "smoke" has cleared, I want to mention the latest volume in the burgeoning "Covers & Contributions" series...The 2-CD Volume 15! Now I won't go any further before I acknowledge the contributor for the ENTIRE SET!! Simon has opened the vaults and mastered a true gem of a collection here. Also, as he is blessed with a King's ransom worth of audio equipment, the sound quality here is par excellence! So, thanks to Simon for his gargantuan efforts - much appreciated! He's also arranged these chronologically instead of the Muller "throw them up in the air and see how they land" method! ;~D Without further ado...here's what on the discs: CD#1 1.

Dawn Aitken – Be Cool I won't go into 'review mode' as there are so many delicacies here...suffice to say that if you're a fan of the series, this is DEFINITELY one you want. If you're not a fan, this one may sway you. After all, it's sorta naive in my opinion to think that only Joni can bring depth & insight into her music... I know what you're saying..."OK Bob, stop flappin' yer yap and tell me how I too can possess these man-made treasures"...as always, it's easy: 1. Send me (2) 80-min CD's in a padded mailer with return postage included. Don't send jewel cases, they just crack and drive up the postage. 2. Send me $8 which will cover the costs for everything. 3. Send me a trade list; maybe we can trade! 4. Euros, contact John van Tiel and get in line! ;~) Any other countries/continents, contact me privately and we'll work it out...I just got through sending a couple volumes to a cool JMDL'er in Africa, so there are NO boundaries in JMDL-land... 5. There is no #5. 6. If you want to get any of the previous volumes along with these, lemme know - I'm happy to oblige! Mail stuff to: Bob Muller 309 West Prentiss Ave. Greenville, SC 29605 Be sure to include a note reminding me what you want. Your discs will come back to you nicely labeled and with an insert so you'll know what's on it. And yes, I will be giving a set away...see the next post for details! ;~) Bob NP: The Front Porch Swingin' Liquor Pigs, "Wrong Yo-yo"
