First of all, I thought the title of this email was clever and amusing. Second of all,
I can't say i disagree with the rest of the email except I don't think she made it in
order to pay her dentist!
As azeem said already, out for flame proofs on. I said, long ebfore BSN was released,
that i thought it would be a mistake as Joni's voice was not suited to this type of
singing( or as my partner said' she has amazing talent as a musician and songrwriter
but she still can't sing'.) and you should have seen the flames thrown! One person
even left the list because he couldn't
understand how anyone could say anything negative at all about the Goddess!
I would much rather have had another of her own compositions.
