No question... my comments are an observation, not a criticism. >As for making a living or a name, who are we talking about: Laura or >Julie? Seems both are missed. One for not touring so much & the other >for not being on this tour. My two cents. I missed Julie too. As an East coast fan, I wish I had more opportunities to see Laura with or without Julie!

Anyone know about this? I'm new on the list - saw her at Silverton Folk Festival where she blew me and the festival away. I had no idea what to expect - but at the first sound of Amazing Grace I knew I was in for an incredible experience. I play a little bass, so spent half the show in front with my jaw dropped, the other dancing. Hal ------------------------------ End of octoroon-digest V1 #38 *****************************
