Kathleen Edwards....good kinda countrish singer songwriter. Noticed you liked Neko Case Avishai you might like her. If you get a chance go to her myspace page and listen to "Alicia Ross" it's about a true story of a murdered girl, it'll almost make you cry.

[ hide ][edit] Biography
Temperton attended the De Aston School in Market Rasen. He was one of the original members of the popular funk/discoband, Heatwave. With the band, he helped compose some of the group's big-selling singles including "Boogie Nights", "Groove Line" and the memorable ballad, "Always and Forever". All three tracks were million-sellers in the U.S. [2]
In 1979, he teamed up with Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson to help conceive what became Jackson's first soloalbum in four years, and his first full-fledged solo release for Epic Records, entitled Off The Wall. In 1982, Temperton wrote three songs, including the title track, for Jackson's next LP, Thriller, which became the biggest-selling album of all time.
Temperton was nominated for an Oscar for a song on the soundtrack of the film, The Color Purple, as the co-writer of the song "Miss Celie's Blues (Sister)" [3] .

Avishai,
Thank you for the Maria McKee clip. I caught her, in a manner of speaking, in Dublin a few years ago and was very impressed.
lbh,
My knowledge of music is limited, but is opening up as i have a 12y son who is just learning the saxophone.
Barbara Thompson is, as you know, a superb musician and has been around for a long while. She played, and cut a disk with one of the UK's (and the World's) best woodwind jazz players Don Rendell. I think it is called 'Just Music'. Barbara, who I met a few times through Don, is married to Jon Hiseman who drummed with Colosseum and Tempest. I hear that Barbara has sadly contracted MS in recent years.
Don Rendell, you may know is a JW and was a good friend until I lost contact with him after my exit. He is a very kind, gentle and incredibly gifted man and I have only good to say about him. Not showing bias here, as he was one of the most listened to jazz players in my home before I became a JW, but he definately is a name that every 'jazzer' should remember. He is in his eighties now, teaching music at the London School of Music and still blowing up a storm in the jazz clubs on occasion.

I think if you went through the archives of every music station that has ever existed in Columbus Ohio I don't think you'd find where they have played a single song by a single artist mentioned on this thread by Avishai, Six, or HS.
So where do y'all hear about these people??
