    Lite foamy metal, but still Tori if you squint, especially on the
last three songs on the album, the Ettinne (sp?) Trilogy.

   Actually, as far as I know, Anna is from New York, and is only on
a European label through the abject stupidity of the US record company
weasels. The song "Tempted" is wonderful, but my all time favorite is
"Lake," a single song that affects me as much as almost any Kate song,
(that is extreamly high praise, especially from this quarter.)

    We saw her in Lawrence Kansas, an amazing cool place that cool
people play, possibly because William Burroghs lives there. She sang
parts of her science fiction work, and some of the statue of liberty
work. We were less than two feet from her two feet, one of which
was in a cast.

    Jane is one of our (Vickie and I) pantheon of Goddesses.

    Fun Jane fact: Jane sings the theme song on the Family Channels
_Maniac Mansion_, that had previously been sung by the wonderful
Mary Margret O'Hara.
