    Wow.  Sweet, soulful and cerebral.  Like Nora Jones meets Jennifer
    Nettles meets Joni Mitchell meets Janice Ian (and OK, I won't forget
    Jackson Browne, but you already mentioned him).  How do you do all
    that? . . .  with mirrors ? ?

     M.J.

    P.S. your songs really do have me a'smilin' and a'cryin' at the same time.  I wish you wouldn't do that.

    I just bought 2 copies of your live CD. One was a Christmas present... and one was for me. I just wanted to say "Rare October" was well worth the wait! Hopefully you'll come out to LA sometime soon.
