Music for a rainy day




Though Maria McKee (of Lone Justice) appears to be very stoned or drunk here, there are some wonderful high points in this performance and, for once, the boys brought along a keyboardist to play during the break. That seems best.
Great song, great singer. I think she's doing session work these days. I'm glad she's still around.
I always figured that someone with her talent could only fail to hit the bigtime because she's nuts or some kind of wildcat. But I don't really know. Her brother, who was a member of the great 60's LA band Love, wrote this song.



It always seems to be raining when Tracy C sings. Isn't she just the best?

LOVE Maria McKee; she is a stunningly powerful singer. She looks like a brat, and maybe she is one. Amazing that she can be (or at least look) that completely wasted and belt out that great song like an angel--or devil.

The Seekers stuff is way cool, too. So innocent, so simple--but that woman's voice is like a bell.

Thanks, as always, for fantastic tunes!

She's wonderful. That smile after the song is as priceless as the gorgeous performance. Her face seems like the face of integrity.

Waddaya mean, "loud BUT fun"? (re Joan Jett).

That's pure fun.
