I kind of like her voice. I think, if she somehow managed to obtain some decent songs, she might have a shot. Have you heard Lucy Walsh? I kind of like her voice.

He ain't putting on a thing. Give him a break! You seem to like it. AND...Joe and his trio go anywhere, do anything related to working their butts off--back-up, openers, whatever--for the chance to play and try to win fans. The guitarist seems to me completely underrated, and the drummer is one hell of a drummer! Hey, Joe's voice is what he's got and uses. He ain't putting on a thing. Give him a break!
