My turn to say oops, too! The performance I was thinking of was the '72. I've never checked out the appearances page before and learned some new details. Amazing she did a 12-day stint in '68. I'll have to read the story from B. Mitchell Reed in the Crosby bio again - think he may have had fuzzy details. I do recall him saying she had become such a phenomenon (due to his playing cuts off STAS before it was released) that she was sold out in advance and played the second stint. I don't think recordings from the '68 or '69 Troubadour shows have surfaced here (although some lucky and diligent traders may have these and I'd bet Mr. Dulson attended a few of the shows!). Kakki
