I was really into her music when I was in college (about 20 years ago), but sort of "lost touch" with her. My best friend asked me if I wanted to go see her last night, so we drove through a horrible sleet storm to this wonderful tiny cafe/pub in a small Wisconsin town about an hour an a half from Milwaukee. There were only about 15 people there, so it felt like a personal concert and we had a lot of chances to chat with her. Claudia was just as I remembered her...." Me too, me too! I saw Claudia at the late, great Blue River Cafe in Milwaukee in the spring of 1980. I know she appeared in Madison in the late 80's, although I wasn't able to catch her that time. I, too, remember her rendition of "Since I Fell for You," and am glad she is still working. However, I hope that the low turnout last night was due to the weather conditions, not lack of interest. She certainly deserves an audience of greater than 15 people (even though I'm very happy for those 15!). Mary P. P.S. Kerry, congrats for deciding to brave the elements, and glad you made it there and back safely.
