 It seems that if something is gained, something is lost. I fell in love
with the youthful qualities of Kate's earlier work. She has become a better
vocalist in many ways, but something of the angelic quality has diminished.
  
  Same with Joni Mitchel. Although I would extend it to Mitchel's
compositional style. I liked it better when she didn't know music theory.
Her sweet youthful voice and no rules of harmony to get in the way of simple
beauty.  

 DGMW, I love it all. 

 Big thanks to all the love-hounds for the good reading, and for turning a
10 year Kate fan on to Tori Amos. She won't replace Kate, but she fits nice
on the shelf beside her, and in my heart.
