Catherine,
I'm so glad you mentioned this - I also just received a copy from a friend
(thanks Scott!) and was totally blown away by it. On the short list of one
of the best live CDs I've ever heard. I didn't even focus that she was so
young at the time. There are some magnificent songs in the line up. I
thought she sounded a lot like the best of the early Joni and on
Conversation, she reminds me so much of jmdler Claudia Sans Soucie (who many
of us feel does the song better than Joni herself). I've always liked
Shawn's music but have not been as much of a fan as some others here.
However, my appreciation of her has definitely gone way up the chart after
hearing this recording.
I feel so strongly about this CD, that I'd also like to offer to burn some
copies for blanks and postage if you need some assistance.

favorites songs -stunning!)
