The Virb site is no longer, and who cares---

this talented young lady's life on this planet is also no longer, and a tear here is shed
I havent really "followed" her since 2007, but I knew when it was her on the radio, or some soundtrack...

its always so sad-- so very very sad

the artist who takes their own life--

something here in me knows something about what that is (from what here, once was)

Some full version samples here of a vocal "Soul/R&B" artist that are not on her official site

seen as an image, and less as a "map"
Im reminded what an incredible awesome POWER an image like this can have--

its a bit of breathless thrill that arrives here, as I consider what this image and its meaning (to me) today

I like seeing what Edie Brickell has been up to-- as of this writing, there are three tunes up on the new band's myspace page, and two of these I like very much

From the page: Harper Simon and Edie Brickell have written and collaborated casually during their many years of friendship. Yet in the last two years that collaboration has become more formalized thanks to a series of recording sessions in New York City with several friends including Sean Lennon and Yuka Honda (Cibo Matto). Naming themselves The Heavy Circles, the duo's self-titled debut recording is out now.

Im SO VERY HAPPY to now know about this young lady!!!
oh, Jazz is still in such good hands with folks like this!!!!
thank you ani!

I didnt know we lost him til just now, seeing GuitarGirls review of this vid!
