Subject: RE: Any Bonnie Raitt Fans ?
I think she's wonderful and listen to several of her albums often. I have a cassette of her playing live on Radio 2 (I think) from years ago which is wonderful and has some really good slide playing.

It's hard to believe that she went through a period of time being dropped by record company and having difficulties getting work - I think I even read that she did gigs for no payment. Perhaps it happens in some people's careers. One of my favourite blues guitarists, Coco Montoya, went through peiods of time when there was no demand and no work and so went back to 'normal' work.

'I can't help you now' is a favourite.
