No fun...I'm 80% recovered. Anyway I had to put up a dissenting opinion. I am crazy about Eddi Reader, have been since way back in her days in Fairground Attaction. She's a beautiful singer, doesn't write a lot of songs but is great at finding good material. Never quite understood why she doesn't have a bigger following in the US, but hopefully some of you will check her out and see who you agree with, Leslie, who thinks she's boring, or me - I think she's fantastic.
