I was very moved. I could hear almost no traces of the voice I knew so well in 1970. But what I heard was a woman who has aged and matured, and is comfortable with both who she was and who she has become. I understand that, as I approach my half-century mark, and I appreciate the message. But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads and say I've changed Well something's lost and something's gained In living every day Aloha, Mark |

And on the other side...another cigarette. It's amazing her voice has held up, considering. She is living proof that some people are damned near impervious to the filthy weed. |

I too was moved by the latest Both Sides Now - and yes, its as if Joni's music, while it may be timeless, has evolved as we have all aged together. Maybe in there somewhere is a new but silet verse of the Circle Game.... Thanks for your thoughts, Mark |
