Sparky, you have the right idea. (Sorry, I always try the quote thing on this board, but it never works for me...)

I love the orchestra idea, but I DO NO want Stevie to ever release an album of pop "standards". Leave that to the vocalists who aren't songwriters. Stevie has, at this point, probably 1,000 or more songs that are just sitting in her house collecting dust.

I would LOVE a non-electric, simply produced collection of some of her more "moody" songs. Maybe half the album piano-and-vocals only, just like the feel of the demos, only with more fleshed out arrangements. And I've love to hear Stevie vocal productions a la Enya or Tori Amos' "Boys for Pele" album. Lots of background wailing (within reason - no SOTM freak-outs...). Imagine a choir of 40 or 50 Stevie's singing different parts at once.

I'm covered in chillbumps just dreaming about it.
