Dammit, guys.....you're supposed to be the Ones Who Know. And I KNOW I had a CD with a woman (NOT Melanie, but someone like, famous, whose name is or was a household name, doing this song) someone who made it famous. I would have SWORN it was Baez, but I can't find the damned CD it's probably being used as a floor mat by my step-daughter in my husband's jeep. Okay. On the same CD, the same woman sang Summertime..... Julie Krueger NOT hallucinating! ========Original Message======== Subj: [lit-ideas] Re: pop music .... please help Date: 3/21/05 10:46:21 P.M.
