Last Saturday, September 20, NPR carried an interview on 'All Things Considered' with the pop and blues singer Joan Osborne. In that interview, she talked about her love and appreciation for her adopted home town of New York City, and praised the spirit of the place in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001. She also talked about her new album, 'Little Wild One', and her hopes surrounding the album and her musical collaborators.
That interview served as a catalyst for me to review some memories of my own, and to revisit one Joan Osborne concert in particular, one that occurred at Wente Vineyards in Livermore, California in July of 2001.

Thank you, Joan Osborne

Wow. Thanks for your memories. I have just recently discovered Joan Osborne (from the Shadows of Motown documentary - and wondered, who IS she?). Since then I've learned more, listened more, bought music and have her name on a Google Alert. As I learn more I cant believe how I missed becoming a fan before this. When I heard Midnight Train to Georgia, she had me on the first two syllables. Really. Now I have so much of her music and background to catch up on.
Thanks!
