and fortunately, gaffa/LH remains a place for discussion of all types
of music -- i think we can all forgive the occasional confused post by
a newcomer...  

note that though the bulk of the Happy Rhodes discussions have moved
to "Ecto", most of the people involved have stayed with gaffa as well
(your humble footah included).  Ecto has definitely continued the
gaffa-spirit of an open forum for discussion of music from all corners
of the globe, particularly underexposed music by women, so |>oug, your
idea is definitely alive and well :)

i found her delightful, intelligent, and warm -- as much with myself
and the other men as with jessica, meredith, etc... :)  given her, mm,
provocative performances, she may find some of her male fans'
reactions a bit frustrating, and i could certainly understand a bit of
caution from her, but my impression was certainly otherwise :)

footah!
