Glad to be a part of this Laura Love thing!! I first heard Laura more than a year ago while on a road trip to Tennessee. (I live in Mississippi and spent last summer as a river guide on the Ocoee River.) I finally found Octoroon at a store in New Orleans and it has not left my CD player since! I got to see the band at the House of Blues and met Laura there. She was very real and down to earth. The band was playing the next night in Baton Rouge but it was sold out. We went anyway not knowing how we would get in. We found everyone but Laura eating next door to where they were playing at a restaurant. We "kinda ran into" Barbara when she was in the bathroom and told her how far whe had driven to see them but it was sold out. She and the road manager got us in- Thank you Barbara!! I know it was pretty much begging but- hey- if that is what it takes:) In August we are driving from Mississippi to Lyons, Colado to see them at the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest. I saw this on the Dirty Linen schedule a couple of months ago and thought it would be a great time for a road trip! We are going to try to make the Rico show too if we can. Anyway, I am truly inspired by Laura and her music. The things she has been though growing up. The person she seems to be now. And the fact she can write a groovin song about her cat (My Friend Gi)!! Would like to hear from anyone who wants to send me some mail : mojokan@tislink.com Kim Brookhaven, MS ------------------------------ End of octoroon-digest V1 #23 *****************************
