Not only that, she studied classical guitar and uses it to create the
swirling patterns in her music.  She played a steel 12-string at the
free show I saw at Toronto's Harbourfront, worn up high enough to get
the right position for thumb-square-behind-the-neck while standing.

Great show; the second encore was a reggae cover of Led Zeppelin's
"D'Yer Maker". (-;  (serious!)
