Hello again, While Im out of lurk mode can I ask, does anyone else like Eric Andersen? He is not mentioned much on the list, despite having Joni associations. I read somewhere (Hinton I think) that Andersen was an early influence on her and introduced Joni to open tunings. Is that correct? I have both his re-issued and re-mastered 1972 album "Blue River" (on the title track of which Joni Mitchell sings backing vocals) and a more recent work "Memory of the Future" (1989). Hes an interesting songwriter and Im surprised his reputation never made it to OZ along with that of others of his generation. I gather he has always had quite a large following in America but I cant recall ever hearing his music played on the radio here in Sydney. Perhaps I was always in the wrong place or listening to the wrong radio stations, who knows. Anyway, Ive only come across him fairly recently and Im still enjoying the thrill of discovery we all get when we click with a new (to us) musician, writer etc. Best wishes, John (in Sydney). __________________________________________________________________ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au
