It's so good to hear from someone! I'm glad someone got to see her last minute announced shows. Aside from Jay cutting his locks off (which I did last year...LOL as Kenn saw) and the cajon, how did she sound? How did she look? Was there any interaction wiht her and the audience? Did the minimal band sound more like the organic Paula Cole Band we fell in love with, during her more intimate performances? Who was on guitar or was it just her on piano and jay on the cajon? you don't know how sad I am to find out that there will be no new music for awhile. I was getting psyched as time was approaching....oh well. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.
