Subject: RE: Salsa Celtica & Eliza
I think you mean "Colourblind", the Irving Berlin song. I've seen it many times myself.

I'm entitled to my opinion too, Lizzie, which is that saying "she should branch out far more from the downbeat, dreary songs" does not fully acknowledge the huge range of her work. The ballads she sings form the minority of her repertoire, and given her "branching out" over the years (some of us were listening to her before 2004, as it happens) with bands like Kings of Calicutt or with CDs like Angels and Cigarettes, I think the last thing anyone could accuse Eliza of is being too "doenbeat and dreary".

Maybe you ought to listen to the full range of her work before forming a judgement. It doesn't sound to me as though you have.
