Wow.  That is sad.  I saw her a couple of times when she was opening for Warren Zevon and both times she signed something for me.  She seemed like a genuinely nice person.

Finding this…
Good deal on finding it.  I am happy for you.  Some of that stuff can be pretty neat to listen to.  I remember back when I’d go to the CD store every Saturday and I’d browse the aisles and see some stuff that looked to me to be obscure.  Once I pi...
