Yeah, not what I was expecting... but it was only two songs on her website I could sample.

Like the music.... not too too crazy about her voice

Her CD is actually sold out at Sam the Record Man. I got a copy, so I'm really looking forward to listening to it. If you get a chance, you guys should get it. And by get it I mean "buy" it, right, computer geeks? I think it will be up there with my Plan C CD. Anyone know what happened to these guys?
Sold out at Sam's only means that 10 copies were on the shelf....lol.....I like her voice Live, she sounded great when she did a duet with Alex Cuba......
