She will blow your mind. :-) I'll say last year's Hillside gig was Sarah's best gig overall. Great technically and she managed to (a) charm a whole big crowd of people who never heard of her and (b) part the clouds. :-) I'm very excited about this year's Hillside... ...workshops! :-) One thing Steve noticed was here eyes were open! Now that _was_ amazing ;-) But you ain't seen nothin' yet! :-) > amazing!i cant get over it!!!!!sarah harmer is actually pretty cool!i > thought she'd be SO boring...but she proved me wrong.. Yeah, a lot of people say this. I read a review recently that had someone expecting not to like SH, but come away loving her. :-) People forget that she can really rock out. :-) I was sorting pictures last night and came across this great pic of Sarah in Weeping Tile, in mid-rock so to speak :-) I love "Lodestar" its a great night-time-on-the-patio-at-the-cottage song. I'd really like to see the new album. I listen to _Songs_for_Clem_ a lot, "Trouble in the Fields" it is so very well done; I know its not her song (its a Nancy Griffith tune), but whenever I hear it I just want to give her a big hug. The way her and Jason sing it its, its just the right way. :-) > Moxy Fruvous isn't as bad as we thought they were so we hung around The Fruvs are good people, especially Jian, salt of the earth. And they're funny. And Jude & Wendy rock!* James.(Who is very lucky to get the SOS trio in Guelph for a weekend!) :-) P.S.
