very acute assessment of PJ's performance. I saw her last week up here in Seattle. the show was so powerful, her band deserves a lot of credit. I feel she is the only performer that has matured and evolved since emerging in the 90's.
I thought I recognized your name! Isabelle and I are still good friends. At the time we were known on air as Divine Discontent and Jane From Occupied Europe.
oh yes, Isabelle Sikes. I remember her fondly; we tried a morning show duo for a while. I don't believe it lasted very long. I was very preoccupied then, not very responsible I will admit. I recall having big discussions with you, we would solve all the problems thru rock n roll. Congratulations on your work, you are someone who made it on her own terms.
This is beautifully written.

did you used to work at KFJC?
Yes Gina, I was Music Director there in the 80's. I remember you and your friend (Elizabeth?) very well. you were two of the better souls up there.
