   Ok, here are my two pennies...   
      
   I like all the songs about the same, but there is only one tune that   
   stands out for me. And of course I'm talking about Security Joan. Is   
   it just me, or is this one miles ahead of the rest? Don's multitrack   
   harmonies are choice. Nothing repeats too much, I love the changes...   
   it's perfect all around.
