aha! So you would agree with this vague memory I have of Gordon saying, essentially, jazz is good, piano is good, formal musical training is good - to the end of--folk ! I thought so - and it shows in your LauriAnnei! I knew I heard it in "Make Way for The Lady" and "Oh Linda" - and had read he said it somewhere - a "closet" interest of his - jazz, that is, then ( in school, and even now, to listen to, and write the -very- occassional song once-in-awhile with some Jazz sounds ever-so-faintly to it.
interesting....
thanks minstrel
