I just wanted to tell you that during your time with Stereo Review you introduced me to so many great albums and artists. It's been a long time, but I am nearly certain it was you who first brought the DBs and FireTown to my attention. There were many others along the way--especially those with jangly guitars. Back then (as it would be today!) a new SR issue with several Simels reviews was the greatest thing ever. Take care and drop the needle slowly!

("Debby Boone, The Baroness of Bland !?", you exclaimed, "Say it ain't so, Patti.") Patti then explained that she had watched Debby sing her mega-hit "You Light Up My Life" several times and was impressed by how much focus ("concentrated commitment", I believe was the phrase) Debby put in each time to delivering that song perfectly. I think it was the type of commitment Patti hoped to put into her own performances. You just never know where inspiration will come from, do ya??<br /><br />Chris E.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
