John Switzer was the bass player and co-producer (with Jane) on No Borders
Here, The Speckless Sky, and The Walking.  I believe that he's still the
bass player on Bound by the Beauty, but I don't have a copy handy to check
the credits.  As I recall, the major changes in the band were a different 
drummer and a different keyboard player (with the old keyboard player, 
Ann Bourne (I think), adding bv's on one track).

I hadn't heard that.  Anyone have any good sources for Jane interviews?
