Audio review of DH

Post by jarkko »

From Marie:
"Tom Sakic pointed me to a great audio review of Dear Heather on the NPR site. The review is by Christian Bordal on his Day to Day show. He describes Leonard as "crushing the truth into tiny gems, little crystals of songs."

I was surprized to find myself a little disappointed in this review. It had some definite highlights, like the unique phrasing and description in the quote of Marie's above. However, I anticipated the review being longer, as well as in and with greater depth. Oh well. At least they did one :D .

Actually I am not able to hear it, my computer at work doesn't allow such things :? I clicked for transcription, but you must pay for it.

If I get a chance, Tom, I'll transcribe it for you. [Of course, they always seem much longer, once you begin to do that :roll: .]

If you're ready to do that again, we have many more interesting tapes waiting in the line after the John Hammond Years 8)

I may be willing to do that, in fact, Tom.

OK, I will, Tom. I'll do this NPR Review, first, and then get with you.
