Oops, I had a bunch typed and hit I don't know what button and got a Processing window, gave up and lost it all. Guess maybe I was being long-winded lol. Soooo, shorter version....I was very broke when I first heard Loreena on a news clip on the CBC, but luckily my brother gave me The Visit for Christmas, around 1994. I have since spent many nights listening in the dark (to keep out distractions) to The Visit, the mask and mirror (which if I remember correctly my boyfriend at the time gave me hidden inside a box of chocolate), and the book of secrets. I also have Elemental, and Parallel Dreams, but The Visit is still my favorite. I look forward to listening to the new CD as soon as I next make it to the music store. Loreena is one of only 3 musicians whose albums I will buy before hearing anything on them, and be confident that I will enjoy everything on it!
