Hello all, The documentary repeats at 12 AM -- if you didn't see it, stay up. Set your VCR's. Having only limited modem access, I never heard the new remixes before this evening, and I have to say that I will, in all likelihood, buy some version of this CD when it becomes available. Two things stood out: first, rather than cheapening the moment, I think the decision to go ahead with the concert was the right decision, especially after seeing the discussion they had about what to do and whether to do it or not. They were all obviously affected, as the rest of the world was. I saw more than one member of the band wiping away tears during the show. Second, some of the new arrangements were fantastic. Anyone who has read my posts knows that "When We Dance" is my #1 favorite song. When Chris Botti said that he was driving when he first heard it and had to pull over and just listen... well, let me just say that that is exactly what I did when I first heard that song. And the "medley" with DSSCTM is brilliant. So, IMHO, see it, tape it, and enjoy it. It was more than a concert -- it was truly a slice of life, and I recommend it highly. And since we are all still suffering the aftereffects of September 11, let me leave you with some words of comfort from a poet named Dawn of Santa Fe that I heard before Thanksgiving: When you have come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off the cliff into the unknown, Faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught to fly. Peace, Holly
