Was able to order the Basia video and Matt Bianco and Brave New Hope from the local shade tree record store, should be in tomorrow. His price on the video was less than $10 and no shipping charge, so the heck with dot com on that purchase. CD's in the $12-13 range. Need to keep these folks in business,ya know. He also showed a Jimmy Webb/ Joni Mitchell import collaboration. Anyone heard it? Opinions?

Eva's been gone for about 5 years, but has released more albums that the very much alive (or so we think) Basia.

Yes, I am on this list, I have been for over a year, yes I'm a huge Basia fan, I own Time and Tide, London Warsaw New York on CD *and* casssette, Basia on Broadway, her "New Day" video, and I've even seen her in concert here in the DC area at Merriweather Post Pavilion. I can quote the full lyrics to ANY of the songs on those recordings. Eva Cassidy is from my hometown and dated a very good friend of mine, and back when I was in my rock and roll days in the 1980's, Eva was just one of the local musicians from Bowie, albeit insanely talented. I attended a concert of hers at the Bayou in DC around 1990 where some A&R people decided she didn't have the MTV look. She passed away in 1996 with no record contract, much to the disappointment and heartbreak of her family, friends, and a lot of my fellow Bowieites. Her recent popularity is a bittersweet victory that I just wanted to share with this group, ESPECIALLY since this group has been reduced to WHINING about the utter lack of any Basia anything for years. That's all. No, I'm not "getting a cut" of Eva's posthumous success, I am just relieved that her parents, who covered her uninsured medical bills, finally are.
