Noe
I got to go to the Noe Venable concert at the Great American Music Hall with Riana. It was great (like the hall itself)! We ran into Cindy and Fred there.
I feel like a proper fan if I can detect minor changes in a song, and I did notice three changes in "Juniper": "the harrowing walk down the narrowing streets" (for "a harrowing walk down a narrowing street"); "my father the thinker, my daughter the song" (for "my father the preacher, my daughter the song"); and a substantial change in the melody Noe sings in between verses. It was still a fantastic performance of "Juniper".
I like "my father the preacher" better; compare the song "Son of a Preacher Man". (My friend Micah is actually the son of a preacher man and was always amused by that song.)
I need to get Noe's CDs.
