Favorites are favorites for many differing reasons, and usually reflect something in the tastes - and often the needs - of the one choosing. Well be it.
Alison not only plays a few instruments well, but her voice is pure and she does not try to go beyond her natural range. She is a listener as well, and sings effectively with others - of several types. Alison's rendering of many, many touching and inspiring songs - not to mention the exciting - seems driven by a bunch of real-life experience and empathy. Certainly a favorite here.
Princess Margaret told queen of Hollywood Liz Taylor that her big in your face diamonds were vulgar,..
Irony...It's the other who is at fault.
I think Margaret was more jealous that Liz could find men like Burton to swoon over her and buy her a massive rock on top of it.. (I got it a bit wrong, it was actually Marg that asked to try it on) ..also it would not be kosher for a royal to regularly wear/flaunt such a stone even if she did own it.
Hollywood made british Liz a queen,.. so Marg rubbed shoulders with two Queen Elizabeths but always remained just the queens sister... .. sour grapes..
Krupp diamond 33 karat [GIA graded D/VS1] such weight/high grade make it one incredible rare stone.
-Bulletproof and Waterproof don't mean Idiotproof.
Alison Krause sings The Boxer. I had never imagined this classic could sound well in the bluegrass idiom but Alison pulls it off with style. Plus plays the fiddle.
