That is SPECTACULAR. Thanks, Greg. I've loved Joan since discovering her when she toured with The Dead and Phil Lesh (though I didn't get a chance to her live with them, or otherwise for that matter), but I have not heard that one. What album is that on? I have to catch up on her releases, it seems!
This from a man whose sister and daughter are both named Sara ... :-)
Joan Osborne is amazing. Obviously. I used to aspire to sing like her, and then I realized that I sound like her only in my own head and stopped trying. She deserves more than that.
Andrew:
This is a cut off "Breakfast in Bed" (2007).
Christina:
Sing away!
