"I can't even explain what it felt like to listen to her. Her song had me in tears... her way of putting words together... her voice... all of it... It took me back in time. It reminded me of how I felt the first time I heard Joni Mitchell perform. I knew, listening to Melissa, that I was standing in the presence of greatness." - Arlene Levine, South Florida House Concerts
Hey Melissa! It's been a while. I saw you when you performed at Nature's Cup in Farmington, MO! I'm wondering if you're going to be in Michigan for the Womyn's music festival? If so, let me know! I'd love to see you again.
Just want to remind everyone to get their fine selves to the Saxon and show how cool Austin music scene really is. Let's rock the place! It's The Ruby Jane Show being filmed for tv.
