First of all Ki, just want to say I'm loving all your posts here. Now I need to go revisit Jon Anderson's 'Animation' for myself: its been a few years lol!
Secondly, Eliott Smith is someone I have never spent enough time with to call a close musical friend per-se, but I appreciate you taking the time to bring him up. As I post this I'm contemplating a good place to leap into his catalog.
But again, great posts man. As far as singer-songwriters go, I've always felt that emotional connection with guys like
David Sylvian and
Gino Vannelli.
Devin Townsend too (and I know you and I aren't the only ones in that regard, lol!), and I think everyone who gives a rat's ass about music has an artist like that for them. I know two guys in fact who worship
Jeff Buckley and
Morrissey respectively. xD
If Eliott were still alive today, I know he'd be in awe just how many people whose lives have been affected in some manner by his output, including yours.
