STUNNED LIKE A SLEEPWALK SLAPPED AWAKE
 Ok, so, I just found out that next month, one of my most favorite musical artists is going to be releasing a new CD, "Airstreams and Satellites." Her name is Garrison Starr, and she is freakin' amazing. You may recall that back in the day, she had an album called "Eighteen Over Me" and a song called "Superhero" which was played on the radio ad nauseum. It was a shame for several reasons. First, when radio stations play a song 75 times an hour, it only serves to make listeners (who are the general buying population) so sick of the song, and artist that they never want to hear him or her again. Secondly, it characterized G*Starr as a "one-hit wonder," which, had the stations bothered to play any of her other songs, she certainly would not have been.
Just over a year ago, she released her second album, "Songs From Take-Off to Landing," after finally working out some troubles with record companies. It is amazingly great. Her song "Gardenia" gives me chills when I listen to it, and I am inexplicably compelled to turn my stereo up to levels unkonwn when my player hits song #10.  I have been fortunate enough to see her play a few times when she was in the area, and we actually got to talk to her a few times. She is one of the nicest and most genuine people you will meet. And as far as her live performances, she certainly doesn't disappoint. I cannot wait for this new CD in February, and I am here to make sure that you can't either. Check her out. Give the songs a listen. Then, go buy her stuff. Help a sister make a living. She's terrific.
