Thanks for the Covers #18, Bob and the rest of the contributors. It is
another winner, and I've really enjoyed listening to it these past few days.
Just a couple of comments on a few songs
> 1. Brother Love Canal - Both Sides Now: Who says you can't dance to Joni?
> Pump up the jam!!
Rev. Vince, this *is* the Joni song you were looking for your aerobic class.
My sister who is an instructor wants me to tape it for her "step" class. I
love this funky version of BSN. It almost reminds me of the "Rocky Horror
Picture Show" with Janet Weiss and Riff Raff on vocals.

The Swingles "In France...." is my second favorite song on the cd. The
harmonies are reminiscent of when my dear old Dad would play his "Fleetwoods"
record on the hi-fi.
> 15. Nashville Mandolin Ensemble - Goodbye Porkpie Hat: I LOVE this
> recording, reminds me a lot of David Grisman & his Dawggrass style of

> This is my FAVORITE of all the songs on the CD (including Lydia's and
Diana's who I adore) I love to listen to the mandolin, and to hear "Goodbye
Porkpie Hat" done like this is just awesome. I hope Steve Mixon and Marcel
perform a duet of this number.
Thanks again Bob, and the rest of the gang!
