I've seen Paula live four times and on each occasion she has been utterly
amazing and she gets my highest recommendations.  She has two CDs
out--HARBINGER (94) and THIS FIRE (96).  She also appears on Peter Gabriel's
SECRET WORLD LIVE double CD, as she was his backing vocalist for much of that
tour.  Favorite songs are "Happy Homes," "I Am So Ordinary," and "Bethlehem"
all from her brilliant HARBINGER disc.

Check her out.

-Tom
