I've Come To Understand My Role. On

You Have To Listen To What Resonates Within Your Own Gut. You Find Your Direction There. Your Voice Comes Out.

Tonight I Feel Like All Of Creation Is Asking Us To Dance.

There Is A String Attached To Maia Sharp's Voice. And When She Sings, You Find That The Other End Is Attached To Your Gut. Her Voice Is Lush And Sensual And The Emotions She Articulates Resonate With The Small Feelings We Have That Sometimes Are Hard To Face..there Is An Edge To Her Songs, But Also A Softness...she Is Lyrical And Conversational At The Same Time. Her Cd Was The Only One In My Machine For A Month. Her Work Inspires Me To Dig Deeper.

Or If I Have My Head In The Results, I Can't Work With What I Have, Because I'm Trying To Force Something To Happen. And With Singing, Any Time You Force It, You Tighten Up. If You Tighten Up, You're Screwed, Nothing Will Work.

Sally Barris Has A Voice Like Sparkling Crystal. You Could Have Knocked Me Over With A Feather The First Time I Heard Her. Her Writing Is From A Deep, Yet Innocent, Place And Her Point Of View Is Just A Bit Off Center. I Am Excited For Her, She Is Standing At The Beginning Of Her Journey In This Town, With All Of It Ahead Of Her. It Reminds Me Of The First Time I Heard Beth Nielson-chapman Or Nanci Griffith. It's Going To Be Fun To Watch.
