Influences
I started out on Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac and John Coltrane, moved onto Sly and the Family Stone, Al Green and Aretha Franklin, delved deep into PJ Harvey and Liz Phair, hung out in the early indie scene in NYC - Sidewalk Cafe Anti-folk, Cafe Sine - watched Jeff Buckely become a star before my eyes, was mentored by relatively unknown but well respected NYC downtown music scenster/art-rock song-writer, Ed Pastorini (Church of Betty, Elysian Fields, 101 Crustaceans), re-visited Neil Young and Crazy Horse, discovered and listened to all of Nick Drake, wandered the streets of NYC, Toronto, Montreal, San Francisco, Seattle and heard some great artists taking risks- Geoff McPeek, Bonfire Madigan, Chris Sauer, and too many others whose names I don't all remember or know but whose perfomances showed me what was possible...
more to come...

Hey sweet lady Katie,how are you doing? Hope all is well!Whats going on with you plans to come back to Europe?We are waiting for you;-)!! Have a wonderful Sunday!!! Much love Dany
TTD sent an undercover agent to see the show tonight.
He was disguised as the oldest person in the room.
When he returned to the TTD Penthouse he said that the show was good. That you really must be seen live to be appreciated.
He said that he told you that he liked your 'Gusto", whatever that means.
He said you display a sort of intensity and focus that many try to fake but you make it appear real. He said you are an great performer. I thought you'd like to know. He doesn't do the internets because he was born in the middle of the last century or something so I had to type this.
