Hi everyone,

I want to share my feelings here with you. The Old Ideas Cd will be in my hands in two hours i am waiting for the carrier to bring it to me.

Oh god i am so excited...

Take care.

It is in my hands fellas

Your excitement will turn to speechless ecstasy when you hear the album (at least, that's what happened to me)! Even if you heard the streamed version, the sound of the CD makes it much closer & clearer & more vivid, & therefore, even more stunning!!

Thank you for sharing your feelings, & Happy Listening!!

Oh Rachel you are so right! My CD arrived just as I was on my way out, so my first listening was in the car..... I found myself driving around places I didn't need to just so that I could continue listening uninterrupted! Last night Mark and I listened to it on his excellent hi-fi system (he insists on excellent as he is hearing impaired)....... it is absolutely stunning. The "musicality" of the CD is amazing - pared down but perfect - and the lyrics just blow me away. So reminiscent of the old Leonard, but with hints of "The Future" and "Dear Heather" mixed in there.......but it is nonetheless totally unique. I wonder if he would've produced such a perfect offering if he hadn't toured over the past three years?

Yours in bliss,
Joy
