Point.

And I will second your wish that Katie release something; I've heard her at house concerts (including singing "Just One Angel"!), and MAN does she have a beautiful voice!

: Well, there's a slight difference in that Katie Peterson has never released anything, which I think is a shame. A few years ago, she asked a number of Seattle-based songwriters to write something for a house concert she was doing; I wrote Just One Angel. She put together a great back-up group, including Greg Scott, Kim Scanlon, Cary Black, and others, and performed the show one time...Scott Katz and I ran sound and recorded it. It was a lovely evening and I recently got to hear the recording which is lovely as well.
: I'm hoping that, even if she won't release the whole thing, she'll allow us to "leak" a couple of songs on our web site.

: : HA! Now you know how the rest of us feel about your stuff! :-)

: : I just changed three of them:
: : 1) Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan: FABULOUS guitar/harmonica duo from California; best I can describe them is "humorous blues". Check 'em out!

: : 3) "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Poodle Hat". Some of his best work, esp. his tribute to Frank Zappa.

: : Cheers, all.
