| This is the beginning of a music page - Let the first entry be the new Marcia Ball record - I heard her and the band on July 17 at Lincoln Center - they were hot! And I'm not talking about the current heat wave. Drummer Fran Christina was a joy, as he provided the perfect anchor to Marcia's great piano and singing. Of course the rest of the band (bass, guitar and horn man, were also superb). If you've thought that maybe Bonnie Raitt was getting a bit too mellow - then get this record today!

By the way, this is another great album - Marcia with Texans
Lou Ann Barton and Angela Strehli, released in 1990. I saw
that tour at Tramps in '91 - one of the great shows. Vin Scelsa of Idiots
Delight fame used to say about them "white girls aren't supposed to
sing this good!' Ball, Barton, Strehli - Dreams Come True, Antone ANT00014
