> You know I just never got why she was so >big. Yeah, I could never get it, either. I felt she had the potential to really sing beautifully but was mucking it up with some kind of add-on vocal "mannerisms." It's always hard for me to watch and listen to her without feeling slightly annoyed. I'm with you on Rickie Lee, too, I think that's just how she is - she's always been that way from the beginning and if it wasn't really her, it sure would have been hard to put it on all these years. I think she and Waits had a tremendous influence on eaach other.
I loved seeing the pics from the Joni Tribute! It looked so great! Hope there is a way to get a recording out sometime. Kakki
