other singers like Patricia Barber.....

I recently bought "Verse", based upon favorable opinions on this site, and hated it, but like others, loved Holly Cole.

Carlabarla,

If you don't like it, send it to me! Perhaps I have something I can trade for it.

Hello--I play bass with Patricia and thought I'd say hi.I'm assebling my first (kindof) audiophile system. I think Auidiogon is way cool----I've been able to sell some of my ancient stuff and but some pretty cool stuff here. Patty is actually a little less weird and austere than she seems. She's actually extremely she and a little( well maybe more than a little) socially awkward. We've played together for about 23 years.

please excuse my spelling----I'm pretty tired and spaced-----I'm usually a little more literate (well maybe not, but at least I check my spelling!)

Mikejazz,

What is the new system you're assembling? And what do you think of some of the other jazzy/vocal groups (Christine Tobin, Dave's True Story)? I know....might be hard to say without risk of offending your colleagues.
