As to Jed's style - and I agree with Marion that he's very consistent...

Well, that's not exactly what I meant. Although Jed does have a recognizable style running through many of his songs, he does sometimes depart from it successfully (Wind's Will, New York City Blues, Wish I Was Your Own...). What I meant to point out is how consistent his level of quality is. Jed seems to have been granted some special exemption from Sturgeon's Law.

(Or, it's possible that he also writes some mediocre songs but has the judgement to recognize them and the self-control to keep them to himself. But if that's the case, that's also a rare talent.)

Jed, what Seamus said about the Locket chords reminds me: what ever happened to your old habit of posting chord progressions on your website as well as the lyrics? I miss them. Make it easy for us, dude!

Love, Marion
