wow this is my life!
I used the opportunity of their show in Boulder at Tulagi winter '72 to meet and furtively interview Mimi. --see I was much more a Mimi & Richard Farina [the tragically-dead young singing masterpiece-novelist*] fan than this new more straight-laced incarnation...which she was more desirous understandably to focus on. ah well, I got to pay my respects, and then later in NYC met her brother-in-law [B Marden] and kid Nick... small nation we inhabit.
*who i later found is the same sign as me and has my first for his middle name

Hmm, thanks Roddus,
Wasn't sure that this soft folk/rock would be your thing. Still, glad you enjoyed it and am sure you can slot it in somewhere in your ipod ;]
C.
this was a guy i never really focussed on at the time - probably cos i didn't have the money to buy all the albums i wanted! looking forward to hearing his stuff now - another great post.
Thanks benny for your honesty. It is hard to buy evrything in the whole world. No matter how much you want it. So I hope this digital copy goes some way to helkping you out in this global credit crunch benny.
Enjoy

Thanks again.

Thank you sooo much. This album has been echoing in my head since I last had the LP in 1973. Think I'll go write a letter to Jesus ...
Thank you for bringing the music of Tom Jans back into my life.
Deeply appreciate effort to prepare and share what I consider a consummate piece of work for both of these artists. In my opinion, this album ranks very highly as a high quality piece of work (every item stands on its own and integrates exceptionally well with adjoining pieces). I particularly appreciated the historical information on TJ. Perhaps now I can let go of my badly maintained vinyl. Thanks. BRW
Brings back very cool memories of visiting my older brother and his college friends while he was living in our family's summer place during the winter, cookin' some serious vegetarian pasta/veggie dishes, drinking delicious bottles of red wine, smokin mother nature, and singing along to every one of these tunes at the top of our lungs...and then puttin on some Poco and doing the same. Take Heart will always be a part of my heart. Thanks, man.
