Has anyone ever heard of Eva Cassidy?

[Denise]

Never heard of her until last night. I was so touched by her singing, that I wanted to share with you. You can see more of her music (and live music)on You tube. She died of cancer in November 1996...so sad.

Here's a live version of her:

This one was very touching:

I wish I could post more! lol But you can go search on you tube for her and there are lots of them. :)

I absolutely adore Eva Cassidy. I found a CD of her artistry at the library and borrowed it for two weeks. Since that time, I've "reborrowed" it over and over again. My particular favorite is:

Reginald Kenneth Dwight said that there were three perfect female voices in the world, and two of them were dead.

Eva Cassidy

Karen Carpenter

Judith Durham,

I think Reginald was right on that one (wrong about many other topics),

Are you a fan of his? LOL

(Reginald Dwight= Elton John)

I try to restrict my limited fanship to people with good wrists.

What's wrong with his wrists???

[olger]

Ah. Let me put it this way...You've heard of John Wayne, Rocky Marciano, Andrew Jackson, and Joe Louis..? Yes. Good men with good wrists.

But old Reginald.....flaccid, stale, lackluster, insipid, tedious, and booooooooooooring......

But Eva still sings well, as does the indomitable Durham.

Rejoice always,

As you can see. There is a serious wrist problem. Olger rests his case and goes back to wiring the new shop.

I don't really understand what you're trying to say. Sorry. He doesn't seem to be wearing a wrist brace or anything.

[olger]

(psstt)... have Gail `splain it to you.

[Outta Here]

Gail's not the one who said it though. Can't you explain it??

[olger]

Pm sister. Pm.

Why won't you tell me here in this public thread?

[olger]

Nice edit Aub.

Feel free to PM me and I'll `splain it to you.

I'm not too timid. Share away.

I can't really see why it was necessary to refer to him obliquely instead of by the name which he chooses to go by (and which most people know him by), Elton John.

And why is it so difficult to say that he is gay (which he openly is - some of the photos posted show Elton with his "husband") instead of alluding to him being "limp-wristed", a fairly antiquated euphemism for gay.

Oh well, different strokes...
