Saw JB this summer at Mission  Festival with her band and like her lower register voice a lot, upper register - not so much.

Are you certain? Because it seems it's been sucking for much longer.

I don't agree — 2 or 3 times a week is not too often. The FM stations often play a song 4-6 times a day. Big difference.

Besides, the goal is not to play a complete random (ie, unique) set of songs. I have this theory that you have a slot in your head for a song to get stuck into, and if you're lucky a song you've heard more than once in the past week from Radio Paradise or so will get stuck there.  Not a bad thing when it's a good song!

A little Edith Piaf goes a very long way.

Well, if nothing else, she knows how to squeeze all the juice out of an extended metaphor. Great song, though.

I :heart: Jill Barber. I went to see In Flight Safety last friday at the Paramount and the show rocked, but I had no idea prior to going that Jill was going to be playing! So it was a pleasant surprise. She is talented and wonderful... ^^;

Technically: no manip to scanned image, which is 7x10 inches printed on 11x14 paper. :D

She has a lovely way of working a song... her control of voice and the phrasing is nice...
Slips up next to me as I am so-very-busy doing something important...and makes me listen to what she has for me
Like only a good friend or lover can do...

I am more amazed at her abilities given her bio... Thanks for introducing us
