You're my kinda gal - notebook and pen in hand (I have a cool one that has a light in the tip, very handy for dark venues!!!).

Besides that, she had already done a bunch of research ahead of time to find out the top local news and who were the "power people" in town and all that...she's just an amazing performer! One guy in the audience was videotaping, and I even thought about asking him how much he'd charge for a copy, but that wouldn't be the same as seeing it live anyway...oh well, there's next Riverbend, and the next time she plays The Bluebird in Nashville! :) Laura (SB1, NF2) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Reminds me of a few years ago where a Dallas bigshot TV personality was emceeing the 4th of July outdoor concert here in my town... He'd learned that it was our Mayor's birthday, so at one point in the proceedings he said to the crowd "I've heard that it's Jamie's birthday, your mayor!!! So, let's all sing her a Happy Birthday!!!" Well, we did, albeit snickeringly, because Jamie happens to be MALE...
