A co-worker took me to a concert last night. His wife's friend was singing at a restaurant and they had an extra ticket. A nondescript 30-something woman whose elementary-school age daughter was checking tickets at the door. She, along with a bass player and piano/guitar guy, performed a variety of familiar songs as well as their original singers ever did. She did several Fleetwood Mac songs, a countryesque take on "Royals", a couple of Elton John numbers, "Black Velvet"... either songs made famous by female vocalists, or at least songs that suit a female voice. It was really, really good. She's apparently available to perform at your wedding, houseboat party, or whatever. The highlight of the show was these two songs from the '90s. "Joey" in particular was delivered with such feeling that I felt myself getting misty-eyed.
