| D.D. She�s pretty big here in Canada. Well, she�s just put out this double CD and there are double versions of each song but on one CD the versions are rocked up and the other is done in country and western style. She�s finding it hard to be recognized in the country music genre. I guess she�s trying to win country music awards but I guess she�s got too much of a rockin� sensibility about her to appeal to them, so I guess she�s put it both ways so she can say, �Well, here, I can do it for you this way or I can do it for you that way � which way would you like it?� Equally well either way, you know.

TIM: �Well, what do you call yourselves?� (continued on next page) |
