it looks like a place that could take you back in time, and I'm sure she would help ease that along with her stylings

I was eying the upcoming gig in that Victorian Foster's Pub/Inn out in Stratford...maybe tie it into a play...wonder if Shatner still there, heh

so she is up for 3 Hamilton Music Awards (like the Junos but grittier, no Furtado or Buble allowed) including best new artist, I'd recommend her last 2 cds, Luke is good producer...Luke is also up for guitarist of the year...it's odd that he is up against Mark Severn who has been deceased for over 3 years

anyhow, she sang backups for Sarah McLachlan and appears on the pleasant acoustic Blue Rodeo Live at Massey recording

side story: she was asked spontaneously to sing a verse of the classic Lost Together live...Keelor wasn't impressed that she had to read lyrics off of Luke's inked arm...Keelor couldn't understand how she could have made out with boyfriend(s) for years under the Skyway Bridge and not known those lyrics by heart...lol, so true

my first exposure to Melissa was as 'the voice' to this theme....I used to tinkle it on piano for the kid and one day was curious as to who's clean voice that was...good trivia

YouTube- This Is Daniel Cook - Theme Song

too bad she didnt get royalty$ ever time that jingle played!

...the premature loss of your close friend is very sad
