This is such a good version. The Juliet Letters is an absolute masterpiece. I saw the original broadcast on British TV (is it really nearly twenty years ago?!!), bought the CD soon after release, and have been listening to it ever since. There's always something new to get out of these songs. It's particularly interesting now to see how others reinterpret the music for other instruments.
Wonderful rendition, and video and sound production. "The Juliet Letters" is a masterpiece, and, IMHO, this is one of the best songs from the album, though "The Juliet Letters" was all very satisfying to an EC fan like me. Please keep up the good work. You deserve far more "thumbs up" than you've gotten so far.
The old joke is one in which lonely people (soldiers especially) take a photo of the grocery store items Pride and Joy (wood polish and dish detergent, I think) and then ask if you'd "like to see a picture of my pride and joy... " Great rendition! I play "The Birds Will Still be Singing" and "Jacksons, Monk and Rowe" on guitar all the time... and nobody knows where they're from... Yes, it's a masterpiece.
StLennyBruce (great handle!): I've never gotten the reference in that one song---I'm not near my music library, so I forget which---where EC sings of "like when a soldier in a story says to the sergeant 'Have you seen my pride and joy?'---You know the rest---and it's no joke..."
I'm an obtuse person much of the time, and here's an example. What is he alluding to here?
Thank you, and yes, it's a dang masterpiece in my book. "The Letter Home" and "Taking My Life In Your Hands" bring me to tears every time I hear them.
GREAAAAAT!!! :))))))

Wait - Costello and the Brodsky Quartet are playing together again live? No way...
I'd love to see a live version of "Who Do You Think You Are"
