i LOOOOOVE christine lavin, you may or may not remember when i played her song "artificial means" last year on the back deck, i was probably pretty drunk so i bet it didn't sound too good, but...well nevermind! remind me, i'll play something this year. anyhow, she is one of the best songwriters ever, really. she's not only screamingly funny, she's also incredibly sensitive and endearing and poetic and amazing. i've seen her live maybe 15 times, and she never gets boring, always finds a way to make her songs and shows new and inviting and funny as hell. and she's a huge joni fan too. and she is truly the patron saint of folkies, she has furthered more careers than anyone else in that genre, from shawn colvin to john gorka to david wilcox. in fact, john gorka's song "the one that got away" is about christine. little known (little cared about) folkie gossip. ;-) i love her, she's right up there with joni for me. alison e. in slc np: david wilcox
