Okay I'll play too! Well normally I list all my girls - my posse! (45 year old fat old white woman and she's got a posse). Hell look at Vince and his gang of thugs ... JK Vince! ;-D
Anyway I thought I would try to include a more encompassing group so here they are: Joni Mitchell The Beatles (especially the Lennon stuff - LAMA!) Phoebe Snow (my sister ;-P) Rickie Lee Jones CSN & Y The Doors Joan Armatrading The Moody Blues James Taylor Dinah Washington Van Morrison (had to do it Fred) Patti Smith (not that smythe girl) Okay shoot me there are 12! I hate rules ... so here's some more ... With Patsy Cline & Shawn Colvin as very honorable mentions. Others I love Bonnie Raitt, Diane Schuur, Billie Holiday, Janis, Nina Simone Anne Lennox .... And the one that I guess I am NOT taking to my grave .... Mel Torme! The velvet frog baby! The best scatting I ever heard was Mel and Ella, who should also be up there on my list, in a duet, it was the epitome of COOOL! BY the way Jenny - being from Chicago I got to hear plenty of STYX - If I ever hear "Lady" again ... I am gonna put on the fatigues and start shooting! LOL! Fred I loved your poem, it really hit home for me on a personal level. And it is so fitting for it's original intent and for today's as well. Welcome Home Fred! Peace, Susan NP: STYX - NOT!
