Although I haven’t yet had the pleasure to record Annie’s fine music, I did work with her in the studio recently (on Roger Kleier’s great upcoming instrumental rock record featuring Trevor Dunn and Chess Smith).

Not too long after that session she sent me a link to this article she wrote for the Times, which is one of the best reads on the subject. I commend her for tackling this burning question in such an original, complete, forward-thinking, organized, well thought out and experienced way and I hope many will find this useful.
