Anne has been around for awhile; she had established a good reputation, at least around Chicago, when I fell in love with her singing at least thirty years ago. And I, and then my wife and I, have been lucky enough to see her enough that she knows us enough that, a couple of months ago, I GOT A HUG FROM ANNE HILLS!

I'll still keep my Judy, and let Mark have Anne, but Anne is my one personal favorite professional singer in this particular part of the universe.
