She was the second person I met in law school. She was sweet and folksy, and she played guitar like no one I had ever known. Groups of us would go see her play in Tallahassee's smoky bars and rowdy coffeehouses. I would sit near the front and sang along, loud enough for only me to hear as her voice rang out from the small stage. She never did, as far as I know, actually practice law. Last I heard, she was still playing.
Yesterday, I found a tape of hers while cleaning out the stereo cabinet. Today, I found her website. She's still playing, all over the country and in Tallahassee, and there's talk of a new album.
Awesome.
You can must sample some of her music for yourself.
