I know what you mean about Nanci Griffith. I liked ONE song she did, ONCE IN A VERY BLUE MOON. It was her signature song, in fact, her band is named the Blue Moon Band. So I went to see her at a club here in San Diego. She opened for Richard Thompson (Who is brilliant). She wore an LBJ button on her guitar strap, apparently she always does that. What a moron. She was ok, but she didn't sing that song. It was so ridiculous and insulting that many who came to hear her sing the song she made the most famous didn't get to hear it. I'll never pay to see her again. I guarantee you won't be disappointed with Eva Cassidy. The CD you should start with is called SONGBIRD. You might recognize her rendition of FIELDS OF GOLD. Michelle Kwan used it as her big number for her championship competitions. It's so haunting. That was the first time I'd her her and I immediately researched who it was singing that song and found out the tragedy of her life.

i've heard the song. The live version of it is the best, on the A Fair Summer's Evening CD. Ironically, Patrick Alger, not Nanci wrote the song. Alger has done some pretty good stuff himself, and wrote some nice tunes for Kathy Mattea.

Bttt though, i find that Sandi Patti has far to much hypocracy in her life to be someone i'd want on my school board. She fooled around on her husband while she was doing Christian music on the road. Odd how people who play "acceptable" forms of music to the Evangelical community seem to get a pass on things like that.
