You should listen to the whole CD before writing something negative! I've seen her many times in SF and she is GREAT! YES, I am a fan!! also: what does "Now to stop Lucia" mean, anyway? Are you some kind of Jazz Nazi??

I was listening to Annette Hanshaw singing "When the World is at Rest" this morning when I realized that I couldn't understand some of the words, so I tried Google to see if I could find the lyrics. I didn't but I found many more sites on which the song was mentioned that I had expected. I even found a recording of the entire song by Elaine Lucia (I'm listening to it as I type this) The point is, I don't like what Miss Lucia has done to the song. Her voice is okay, I guess, but I don't like the way she uses it. Well, that's her business. I just can never imagine an occvasion or time when I would rather listen to Lucia than Hanshaw. What does Miss Klein do to the music she sings? Does she feel a need to update it for contemporary ears, or does she try to sing it with respect for the way it was originally performed? In other words, is it likely that people who like to listen to the original recordings from the 20s would like to hear Miss Kleins's versions, or would they be irritated? Now to stop Lucia.

Now to stop Lucia.
