Hello Larry & music fans.

Never got over the fact that Nina Simone recorded Jonathan King's 'Everyone's Gone to the Moon'

Have the Cowboy Junkies ever recorded a Joni song? If so, they would give it a different take.

This Nick DeCaro LP has some great moments (I only heard some of it within the past few years), but whenever I look at the cover, I just want to ask, "Can I please get a table for two by the window?"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:19pm

Played the grooves off this album. God bless Joni for this opportunity for Curry to strut his dramatic stuff.

@Erica - I forgot about that!

The album cover as opposed to the later CD of Blue was so important to emphasise the blueness of it all.

River is the perfect Christmas song for those who feel depressed.

I think people often overlook what an amazing musician she is (in addition to the singing and composing).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:39pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - Yes, very sad
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:43pm
Brian in UK:

Larry, do you ever play around with running orders of top notch albums? Personally I trust the artist & do not consider it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:45pm
Funky16Corners:

I do not, for precisely that reason
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:50pm
Funky16Corners:

It's important to note that these amazing-sounding albums are self-produced
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:53pm
Sem:

Tom Scott, my gods.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:53pm
Funky16Corners:

He's really the secret weapon on this album
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
Brian in UK:

Blue was the start of the change & For the Roses kicked it off.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:57pm
Funky16Corners:

There are things happening on For the Roses that manage ro be seismic changes yet completely subtle and worked into the background.

Larry, having a look at his involvement w/ stand-out artists' albums means packing a lunch. en.wikipedia.org...

Hey fred!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:01pm
Funky16Corners:

@Sem - I used to think of his as just another studio musician, but he really brought serious contributions with him
Avatar 4:03pm
Erica:

Tom Scott's more than a studio musician Larry, he was the leader of the LA Express and released smooth jazz albums. He was also one of the Blues Brothers.
Avatar 4:04pm
Erica:

Didn't appear in the Blues Brothers films I'm afraid.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:04pm
Funky16Corners:

I get that. I just meant that when I was a kid, he was just another of a long list of names on countless album jackets
Avatar 4:06pm
Erica:

Oh I understand Larry. I used to think animation showcase shows were just shows with generic cartoon pilots until I realized that the purpose of them to find and greenlight the next big cartoon series.

Never really enjoyed high pitched early Joni but this album is just so right.

This album is perfection. It's over before you know it.

The point is I get the perspective you're coming from Larry. You don't learn the truth about something until you're older.

Larry, I did that with Ron Sexsmith's 'Strawberry Blond' track. Might have been six times!!

It's one of those songs that taps into all of my audio pleasure centers at the same time

Erica, it used to be a process to find about some group or other. Now it is there on a plate.

Tom Bombadil was completely written out of the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings films. He should have sacked his agent twice over.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:34pm
Funky16Corners:

As a fan of the books, that really bugged me
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:46pm
Sem:

A loving look at the other-worldly song writing skills of JM, reminding us in subtle ways that we are stardust, all of us, through and through.
Thanks, Larry. Later, all.
