I am going to start sounding like an obsessed fan if I keep going on about how much I love these musicians I blog about so I am just going to do it this one last time (for now… ;) ) Valeri Lopez… get her & her banjo together and you are transported to heaven. She has one of my favorite voices ever… the first time I heard her voice flowing through my house as she was singing in the shower I had to stop myself from locking her in there (kidding!)… it was, in a word (or two).. freaking amazing. Just as she is. Check her out, buy her album & then wait patiently for her new one (which she is recording soon- YAY!). We got to go out and play a bit earlier this month and here’s what we came up with :)
