Jane has a website. The name is (or maybe was?) http://www.sheeba.ca/ I'm not sure if the site has moved or changed since I wasn't able to access it just now, but that could be for any of a number of reasons. I did get her CD "Hush" but I was kind of disappointed. I found it too lethargic. On the other hand, it's supposed to be lullabyes and so on, so I guess it ought to be! I think I'm Siberryed out - don't think I want to get any more of her stuff. Not at the moment anyhow. > -- and the first > four or five of Rickie > Lee's (my favorite was Pirates) -- it was when they > each seemed to venture > too far into freeform that I think they lost me. I loved RLJ's first two, but then I got tired of her. Her diction is terrible - you can't hear what she's saying half the time, and then, when you can hear it, you don't understand what she's talking about because of the slang she uses (used - I guess she doesn't do that so much these days). What the hell is "How come he don't come and PLP with me no more" supposed to mean? We used to say PLP when we were kids and it meant "Pretty little princess", but it doesn't make sense to me. Oh well. I liked the first two albums so much that I recently bought them on CD but when I listened to them again, I wasn't sure what about RLJ had appealed to me way back when. I still listen to them now and then and there are some things I still like, but a lot of it seems dated to me (now that I'm old and jaded and I don't give a rat's ass.) > Joni lost a lot of fans > when she did Mingus, but she was able to carry it > off -- anyway, the problem > is mine -- like not being able to apprecuiate > Jackson Pollock's painting -- > it's *my* problem, not the painter's. Naaah, it's not you. Pollock stinks! ______________________________________________________________________ Web-hosting solutions for home and business! http://website.yahoo.ca
