<DIV>When Kornfield first appeared in Joe's work, it seemed out of place.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And then I tried to figure out, is Joe mocking him or embracing him? Or
does Kornfield's words just fit into the rest of the piece?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I concluded, no, no, and no.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think Joe likes his voice and appreciates the hypnotic power. Also, the
tone of peace and enlightenment balances and gives relief and contrast with
Joe's inquietude and doubt.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Kornfield is highly respected in his field, and as was noted here
previously, he's unfamiliar with Joe's work. They're not buddies. They've never
met.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Kornfield isn't a neat fit into Joe's pieces, but then again, Joe is a
sloppy though brilliant artist. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Through Joe's work, Kornfield has kind of grown on me and I've sought out
his recordings. With a little patience, they can be downloaded from
Limewire.</DIV>
