Hey Blue
And there is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well there're so many sinking
Now you've got to keep thinking
You can make it thru these waves...

I don't say this to be a name dropper, but here is the guitar on which Joni M wrote the album Blue. It belongs to my mentor Roz, who spent some time with Joni living in caves in Greece with a bunch of hippies. Joni borrowed her guitar to work on the songs she had written the lyrics to in the journal she carried around with her on the island. So special... I nearly sh!t a brick when I got to sleep in the guest room with it.

What a nice story you shared. It's nice to know someone who's mentor has spend time with Joni's community, and who has slept in the same room with that guitar. These stories always give insight to music and artists that you just can't get by reading reviews and such. I'll put that picture to the same folder with the flac's of Blue, and all the audio nerds would be jealous.

I'm very glad you enjoyed that. She had never told me before two years ago and we've known each other 30 years.

*** It never occurred to me to worry about this (and please know I don't believe you intend to), but just in case, I would like to ask that people not share this photo or post outside of this community. I should have been more thoughtful about that before, but I wasn't. And now I'm worried about it.

Thank you!

The wind!! Just got back from The Arsenal and we're hit by another storm, they must be expecting the worse as the two small fishing boats have been dragged out of the water and dumped on the causeway. A fun night beckons!!

The best Bunnymen album. @mort what do you think are the best possible sounding versions of these albums? I think the 24-bit from ProStudioMasters (blah) are revelatory and no need to look further.

Are those the MQA Studio versions? Mine "unfold" to 24 Bit 96kHz, I have the first four albums in that format plus Evergreen, the John Peel Sessions and maybe a couple more, I'll have to play them all to find out! Ah, The Stars, The Oceans And The Moon is another .....

Mine are the transfers that the MQA is sourced from, and haven't seen MQA encoding. The MQA version is also on ProStudioMasters. see this screenshot:
