no song, just thanks! "city hall" brought back the unbelievable joy of June 17th at SF city hall for me watching the other folks with 'the gay' getting married, and my own wedding there on October 31st. Even if they make us do it again some day, and even though they're making everyone else wait, they can't take what we had, and the JOY away from us.
Here's one of my favorite songs, originally done by Peter Gabriel, sung by Sara Bareilles.

Katie Herzig, Vienna Teng, and Brandi Carlile together
ds, im listening teng's song,
it reminds me a moment,
it was a hallway, just ordinary day, and i faced a person, so
as the usual talk, i
pretended to listen but what i
was doing, looking at the person's
eyelash. cus of light,
it shining like gold.
so? when i face like that light
always reminds me the moment.
her eyelash is so beautiful.
I love Maria Taylor's first two records, not so sure about the last one though, I reckon I have to give it more time...

Unfortunately, I'm lagging by a few days on this topic but I'd still like to share! As well, thank you Ms. Snarker and everyone who has made such fab contributions/suggestions!
I would like to add Kate Rusby to the list. Here's a link to one of her original songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No5FkAmTaJY
Kate's a "Yorkshire lass" who also performs reinterpretations of traditional folk songs... quite a few of which only had lyrics left behind with no clue to the original melodies.
She has one of the most ethereal, haunting voices I've ever heard.
If you've not "met" her before, I hope you enjoy this introduction.
