i know she said it in a few interviews while promoting Something To Remember.

Arthur, I wasn't referring to the fact that they were edited together. They just sound like they're from the same recording session with the same musicians (and it sounds like Monte's style of playing). She mentioned in an interview (can't remember which one) that I Love New York was written during the tour, so my assumption is based on that. I could be wrong of course, but that would be my best guess.

Monte, I would assume. I believe it was demoed during the RIT along with the I Love New York demo.

Exactly...it's just not worth it. My view is that everyone's entitled to their opinion, but there's no reason to let the opinions of others affect your own. Art is subjective so there are no right or wrong opinions at the end of the day...shut out the noise and let your own instincts dictate whether something touches you or not.

Good point! I sometimes forget that streaming now impacts charting so thanks for the reminder!
