Thanks Larry; I tend to jump to conclusions about music that is new to me, and if I'm not immediately smitten, I'll tend not to listen closely enough thereafter. So I went back to "Our Love is Easy." I didn't change my mind: I still feel like it's excellent execution of pretty familiar stuff (the lyrics struck me as especially unsurprising). As you say, musical taste is personal, but threads like these are my favorite on the site, despite (or because of) that. John
