Outstanding and  Heartfelt 

Kevin Gilbert, one of the people behind making Sheryl Crow a star. (He was part of the Tuesday Night Music Club and her boyfriend). Had the unmitigated gall to perform, live, the entire Lamb Lies Down album in front of the Progstock conference, and pulled it off. Considered as a “new” Genesis lead singer, but then stupidly, accidentally, killed himself - or someone was there and left the scene. Left behind some extraordinary music, so good that this band performed his whole “Shaming of the True” album live.

Good morning precious
Good morning special
I’ve got news for you
There’s millions like you

Audrey's home for a couple of weeks and we were visiting last night. It's come up before that she, Claire and hiccup can be difficult to tell apart on the phone. So, she says "I sound like mom when I speak, but I realize that I sound like you when I sing. But maybe that's a stylistic choice."  Which, of course, is a nice compliment but does not explain the amount of eye rolling and open contempt from she and her sister every single time I picked up my guitar when they were growing up.

I knew her father was a singer, but I guess the unlikely part is THAT IS A GOOD VOICE. 

Her mom also released a not-half-bad album years ago.

Right, but they were estranged early on (having absorbed some of Justine's TeeVee program) so ... nature not nurture? I suspect that most people with the talent to make it in Hollywood can probably sing and dance too, they just don't have the chance (or need) to once they've made it.

Well, her father and uncles were singers, so it's probably not as unlikely as it seems as first glance.

She was on one of Justine's weekend morning TeeVee programs and I heard her talking about singing and yeah I was skeptical but she pulls it off. 

I wouldn't have guessed in a million years, but I've listened to this half a dozen times now.

This may be one of my new favorites:

HIgher Ground

Digging in the Dirt (Sheryl Crow)

These guys are so much fun, and talented too.
