She had an tape called "Tell it Like it Is" on which she has a version of Amazing Grace I just adore. She sings the song in a lovely way, but also....she has this MONOLOGUE in the middle of it where she speaks about how she has come FROM being a lesbian in poverty who was racist and carried a switchblade and was full of self-loathing....to a loving proud lesbian who praises God she was born a lesbian and who FIGHTS racism and other forms of hate and injustice with the "weapons of love", and says that THAT is AMAZING GRACE. I cry every time I listen to this 8 minute piece. But I can find NO MENTION of her on the web, except for a Deep-Blue archive of my original message! LOL! ;-) Has ANYONE heard of her and does ANYONE know what she's done since that first tape? TIA!

It's possible that tape is long out of print, and there is no mention on the web because it is gone, she may be doing other music since then. Do you know anything else about her? What part of the country is she from? Did she ever sing in Ireland? Or with an Irish group? (I ask for a reason) Does she sing with others at all? Could she be teaching music? I am a bit busy right now, have a house concert with Danya River (I love her music) in a day-and-a-half and I'm still getting ready for the concert, so I won't start really looking until Sunday/Monday, I'll have more time then. - -- John most browsers ------------------------------ End of dads-yard-digest V6 #21 ******************************
