Not me. Grand Rapids is too far away.

Did you ever hear Ani with Utah Phillips? She made that geezer rock!

I'm lucky! Seen her three times in a row on her visits to Brussels. Brilliant with a band (first time), alone acoustic (second time) and with a couple of guests joining in (third time).

I think she must like the chocolate/beer here!

Peace

Ani plays Wenesday July 20 in Rochester, MI. That's three nights in a row I'm going to. I'm trying to swing the whole tour. SO COOL!!!!!

I have two GREAT tickets to Ani in Interlochen July 19. I moved to Texas, so I can't go!!! These tickets are in the middle, front, about six rows from the stage. Anybody interested?

I've seen her twice; once with a band (Little Plastic Castles release) and then solo a couple of years ago (Evolve, I think). great both times. Kinda nuts i think, but what a writer/performer.

Gotta say though, that, while I think the world of independent recording artists owes her a huge debt of gratitude for showing you can go it alone and be ridiculously successful, I sometimes wonder whether some of her work couldn't do with a good "edit"? What I mean is that while record exec's have been notoriously stupid about saying no to alot of great ideas, it does seem that in Ani's case lately there's alot of pretty self indulgent stuff there that gets pretty old pretty fast. Anyobe else get the same feeling? sb
