We'll be driving up >Friday... I just spent two nights at the Ethan Allen Inn in Danbury last week on a work related trip. Very nice place, The room was $105 a night. Nice furniture too (duh). First time I was ever at a hotel that offered pay-per-play video games on the inroom TV. (Actually pay per block of time). No, I didn't play BTW: The entire front of the Inn was getting a facelift, so don't let that surprise you. Have a good time!!

I think it's a really good album. Granted, the only studio album of hers I've heard is the self-titled one, which I love. "Last Chance Texaco" IS a great song. So I can't compare the live to the originals for most of the songs, but it's a great, pretty laid-back, mellow album. I think it's pretty much piano and acoustic guitar. No back-up singers; and it's definitely not over-instrumentalized. It's pretty minimal. Not that there's anything missing; more that there's nothing there that's not needed. And Rickie's voice isn't perfect. You can hear her strain sometimes. It's not irritating; just human. I absolutely love "Skeletons". So yes, it's recommended. Let me know how you like it if you pick it up. JoAnn _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
