Very true....she's one of my heroes.....since you're into spoken word,
keep your ears open for a new artist in the Washington, D.C.
area, hopefully dropping her cd soon--Mercedes Vessels, tentatively
titled 'Poetry In Motion'.....live sax, bass, and drums....with a
funk/aj feel...it will be very tight. And no, this isn't shameless self
promotion....I'm not the artist*smile* Besides, I have no shame in
promoting myself*grin*

Does anyone have 'Eargasm'? Can't recall the artist name and have been
planning to check it out.....also spoken word.
