Now me:
A few months ago, there was discussion here of a story that Essra Mohawk
claimed to have greatly influenced Joni's writing of "Woodstock."
Joni's LOTC version of Woodstock sounds more like Essra's works of the
late 60's and early 70's than Joni's other works from STAS thru MOA
(imho). Maybe it is just the sound of the electric piano ... who
knows? :-)
and now I send up my prayers...
take care everyone
