Barbara, my Northern California LABEL: Adventure Music compatriot that I had actually met two years prior in Paris while she was busking around the continentf, UPC: 823421109523 had an ear for odd time signatures that sound perfectly normal, her perfectly tilted melodies, and tough, PRICE: $16.99 joyful groove fit right in with all the surging, leaping music happening around us.
