As long as we're discussing Patty and Ellis, I don't think that "Conversation
With
A Ghost" should go unmentioned....I have some pretty vivid memories of driving
to a gig with my guitar player - with that song on "repeat" (right after a
breakup,
of course)....sheeeesh...I still get butterflies when I think about
that...just one of
those amazing moments that music intensifies to a point past description.

I've heard the single of her new record, "One Big Love", and yes, it does
sound
like it's aimed directly at the Lisa Loeb/Cowboy Junkies audience, but it's
still
a great song...although I did hear one other cut off the record before that
that
really scared me....but I don't think it'll deter me from buying the record...

"...i wish i could've been there to see you through...
hey, are all those things that you told me once still true..."

ok, I'm through waxing nostalgic now....
