A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Hey Wild Neil, yes that is right- Trouble put my memory train back on the tracks about that a few posts back. That track by the Lounge Lizards was pretty great, I'd forgotten about them (too)! |

The show was live with her whole electronic setup. (You can see better at this long interview/performance from WNYC's Soundcheck www.facebook.com... ) Looks like Porras is not with her in DC at Songbyrd; I appreciate what he's doing, but it's quite physical and not always in a pleasant way. |
