Well, this is NM circa '86, her voice then wasn't quite as distinctive as it is now. Mainly, in reflection I think it was a bit of flavourful (no pun or grossness intended) nasal twang. If you have 10K Maniac's _Hope_Chest_ c.f. her with NM then... ...unless you have a copy of Secrets of the I Ching, in which case I'm _greeeeen_ with envy :-) James. ========================================================================== James McGarry | jmcgarry@UoGuelph.CA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- An artist should be fit for the best society and keep out of it. - - John Ruskin ========================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 12:45:24 -0400 From: "Roxanne D.

Seeing as I haven't yet, here's the link: http://www.masseyhall.com/ I'll second James in saying it's one of the most gorgeous places to experience a concert ever. It's all reserved seating, and I recommend if you want tickets to call their own phone line rather than patronize TicketBastard... (416)872-4255 In addition to avoiding TB, you'll get better seats; they use a different computer system than TB's, and therefore sell a different block of seats, and usually it's a BETTER block of seats. Once I called TB for tix to a Tori show and I got an operator like 30 seconds after tix went on sale and got balcony seats; after that I wised up and started calling the Massey Hall line and now if I don't get seats first four rows floor in the centre, I'm disappointed.
