madbaker | Adding to the reminiscing on Leigh Ann

I started listening to Annwn during the Leigh Ann/Elton duo year. The pub crowds weren't that big, yet. I've forgotten how I found out about it, but after enjoying that one I went to many of the Palo Alto / Mountain View gigs over the next few years. I saw them open for the Flash Girls at the late, lamented Fogg's. I was #2 on the Official Groupie list (because they wouldn't let me be #1). I have the Celtic "I'm with the band" badge stowed away somewhere.

I remember Leigh Ann playing at Gareth Ivinghoe's wake. How appropriate it was to have her singing at an event where we were drinking and remembering the good times we had with a departed friend, rather than mourning his loss.

We weren't close friends; but tonight, I will try to do the same for her.
