"I was a kid that you would like, just a small boy on her bike."~When I was a Boy
The first time I ever heard Dar, it was 1996, and I was in a car with two people that I had just met for the fist time as well. Because I was from Iowa, they decided that I had to hear "this one song". Thus, my introduction to "Iowa", "Februrary" (they rewound it too far) and Dar herself. She in beyond amazing, and she makes me laugh. I've only seen her once (four years ago) and was moved by her incredibly honest, personal performance. (And she was wearing purple stretch velvet!) I really can't quite believe that I haven't seen her since-but, well, I guess things just got crazy. I think I missed her a couple times in chicago, but I'll try to catch her this spring.
ANYWAY, she can say it better than I can...
