Hi Al,

Thanks for the nice comments. You know, I actually thought about how Emmylou Harris does that "amplified whisper" thing so wonderfully, while I was recording the verse vocals, which is where I do that mostly. Actually they start out sung, but at a volume like you are talking to someone two feet away, if that...and...while the note is being sustained, the timbre slowly shifts into the whisper...that's the secret of Emmylou, I think, and how she get's those intimate vocals, it sounds like she's singing AND whispering, because she is!!! Thanks for picking up on this, and getting me to think about it a little!

Yes, Kristi's lyric is once again something that just jumped out at me with living imagery, and once again all I had to do was "get out of the way" and let it tell me how the song should go, and what mod, and arrangement, etc...

Thanks again Al,

Mike
