I was excited, but then realized that it was probably only heard by other insomniacs. I heard One Big Love on the River as well, but it was about 10:00 am last Saturday morning as I was setting out on my holiday weekend. It was the first cut I've heard from the record (I don't listen to too much radio these days). I had literally just pulled out of the driveway on my journey, it was a beautiful day, and I switched on the radio. It happened to be tuned to the River, volume down low, and I swear, I almost switched channels! "Jeez, I've heard this woman before - holy shit, its Patty!" The DJ gave Patty and the record a nice plug at the end. I thought it was great. I can't wait for the release! Peace, y'all. -Matt ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 20:58:43 -0400 (EDT) From: "Stephen V. Gilmore" Subject: RE: MM: Just a thought... Dar is a Joni Mitchell in the making - and this from one who considers JM to be the fourth biggest influence on 20th century popular music (after the Beatles, Dylan, and simon and Garfunkel, in that order) As for Sinatra and Elvis - they're legendary performers, but as far as being influences, they're vastly overrated.
