"Paper Airplane"

Dear Alison,
I love you. Your body of work is what dreams are made of. I'm sorry to say that, while mere mortals, such as I, could ever dream of being able to obtain your level of perfection, I am feeling that PA is not up to your previous standards. While everyone's performance is excellent, the (magic) that we have come to expect, isn't there the way it was previously. The sonics, while they are very good, aren't up to the standards set by all of your previous works. Forgive me, I'm still a huge fan. My best.....

I am also a huge fan of AKUS, and first was relieved that
they brought out a new album. I like it and am not dissatisfied that it is similiar to earlier albums. I just read on their website an explanation of how and why the music was chosen, and "Paper Airplane" seems to be an excellent, intimate communication from the band to us. I am grateful and enjoy it.
I saw them in person on 9-1 here in Omaha and consider it one of my finest concert experiences.

Thanks, Rja. I agree about personal taste and hope I did not sound critical. In their website, "Alisonkrauss.com" they
explain some of the circumstances they faced, it is under 'ABOUT'.
Lastly, Alison could sing the phonebook and I would marvel about it.
I'm easy...
