Well, I did get to see Ravi in concert once. ZZZZZZzzzzzzz! Oh what was I saying? I saw him on George Harrison's first solo tour in America ... back in the late 70's? I love the sound of a sitar but he so dominated the show I was a bit bored. George pretty much gave him a huge chunk of the show. I won't be running to see him any time soon either .... but his daughter on the other hand - yes I'm running! > In reference to Tanita Tikaram, Ron wrote: > she brought out a great debut, followed it up with a whole string of > consistently good album (personal faourite of mine is "eleven kinds of > loneliness" where she sings with what sounds almost like a speech > impediment and does some stunning songs like "heal you" & "to drink the > rainbow". an artist worth listening to if youre into intelligent, self > written lyrics, unusual & beautiful vocals, and original, individual > arrangements - gee - wonder if theres anyone here that likes that kind of > music :-) > Well I did know she put out one or two others, but I never heard one cut on the radio or saw any promotion at all. Now my best friend, who has a pretty good music collection, tells me she has one or two of her follow-ups. So Thanksgiving I will be confiscating those while she is cooking! Hell she still has my roasting pan from about 12 Thanksgivings ago! I love the the title of that one song you mentioned - "To Drink the Rainbow." I seem to recall comparisons to Joni, as far as writing and insight, when her debut came out. And I recall Joni being listed as one of her mentors. By the way, she was only 19 when "Ancient Hearts" debuted. I couldn't believe she was so young. > > just stay clear of her latest, dreadful, "cappucino songs"... > I doubt I could find it anyway!
