It is great to hear Toni Price here. We've enjoyed listening to her for years.

Another torchy kind of singer in our area is MaryAnn Price. I have no idea if they're related. MAP was one of Dan Hicks' original 'Lickettes'.

Would rather you play Joni Mitchell's version of this great classic! :)

That is embarrassing. Amazing song. Toni Price did an adequate job with it.

Just googled the song and found out Ella Fitzgerald did it too.

 
You can find it on her album "Both sides now" most excellent

Both Sides Now.  Joni's version has a wonderful earthy feel to it.  I also like Ella's version better than this one.  It's leaving me a little cold.

I like it.  Has a nice jazzy, bluesy sound.

Ah yeah, Toni on RP. Love it. She's been an Austin fixture for some time now, with a weekly "Hippy Hour" ( )at the famed Continental Club on So. Congress. Too much fun. Play on, sister!
 
Oh, man.  I'm gonna find my way down there when she's playing sometime.  This is good stuff.

Oh, and by the way... she said "put your rubbers on".  Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh.  </juvenile moron>

This song is the reason why RP is so great. It is the reason why my speakers are cranked all day, every day. Except for when an annoying client walks in. (Damn them! :-) Toni Price is yet another great artist who's music I would NEVER otherwise get to hear and enjoy, were it not for this great station.

Homegirl Toni tackles a venerable jazz standard, wrestles it to the floor, and plants a big sloppy whiskey kiss full on its lips.

Sweetness.

Anonymous posting often brings out the hateful side in people. Not me, I will anonymously state that Toni Price is among the best contemporary female vocalists living today. Her music is outstanding on recordings and even better live. I've seen her drunk, but guess what? I've seen Emmy Lou drunk too, and so was I on both occasions. That's what bars are for. I've also witnessed amazingly professional behavior from both of them. You have to take things in context. Put the petty jealousy aside and take my word for it, Toni is #1 in my book and I miss her. I hope she moves back home to Austin someday.

Should have ventured out back where the ongoing 420 party filled the street and the air. Police drive by just to see the happy faces and wave. You're right about her being snookered and sitting. Tough to see her in such a small venue.

Sadly, she's moving to California, so Hippie Hour is evolving. But the replacement band (tentatively named Sniz-O-Rama) includes Scrappy Jud Newcomb, among other good folks.
