Either just before or after Steady On was released. I don't think she had the record with her at the time. In Santa Barbara, CA. I had never heard of her. But an article in the local paper about her intrigued me. This singer/songwriter was going to be playing a concert at a small restaurant in town. I was intrigued because in this interview she talked about her big influences being the Beatles & Joni Mitchell (mine too...I am a singer/songwriter...guitar player...) I had kind of lost touch with the folk scene (or any scene!) during the 80's as I was busy raising a child & for all I knew there wasn't any folk music anywhere anymore cuz all I was hearing was synth stuff...so reading about this woman with these influences was ....amazing... I had to go hear for myself. So I went down to her concert (I think it was a Sunday afternoon). Very casual...we all sat on the floor. This small girl with short brown hair & a small Martin (00?) stood in front of us (no stage) & played a bunch of the best songs I had ever heard in my life. You could have heard a pin drop...she captivated us all. Her incredible guitar chops...her unique & beautiful voice...and those amazing songs! She never said a word...just sang & played her songs... then left. She seemed really really shy. Of course I bought her tape (before I was award of CDs) as soon as it was released. Recognized all the songs she had played. The only one she hadn't played live was Dead of the Night. I have been a fan ever since. ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ******************************************** - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.
