Just heard a fantastic interview of Ms. Lee, this morning, on NPR. She talked about her memoirs, in her new book, All My Rivers Are Gone; sang a song, after asking for her "axe" (guitar); talked about her early years as a a lounge singer; and, in a touching moment, tried, for the first time, to go see Lake Powell, which filled her beloved Glen Canyon. At the last moment, she could not look at it and they turned back. She also told a couple of great stories. Her voice sounds so vigourous and young; she was hiking along while talking to the interviewer; her singing voice is beautiful. This was a real treat and makes me want to hear more.

If anyone is interested, I am sure you can find more at the NPR website, under Morning Edition, the program which ran this interview.
