subject: Prog Rock...

Hello all...
 
I am a ProgRock devotee from way back when...  I just haven't visited 
this echo in ages...  I have my own collection of Yes, Genesis, Rush, 
etc... records and love them to death.   I don't know quite what are 
the boundaries of this echo, but I will make a stab and see if I get 
"stuck"... :-)
 
I absolutely love the music of Joni Mitchell and have quite a few of 
her albums...  Her sense of timing and dynamics I feel were second to 
none, along with her wonderful lyrics.  We now have some of her songs 
playing in the background on the "muzac" system at where I work.  
Everytime I hear her voice I just have to stop and take in the whole 
song... It's awe inspiring to me.  
 
I heard rumor awhile back that she died.  Can anyone confirm this?  I 
could never find a news story on it and at this point I don't believe 
it.  A little light shedding is in order here.
 
I hopped back and forth between Prog rock and Jazz fusion depending on 
my mood.  I thought Joni was a pretty good blend of both as in Steely 
Dan...  Steely Dan... that's a whole nother subject and a concoction of 
musicians and music that will live inside me forever...  Songs like 
Deacon Blues should be bronzed.
