I missed this past performance, but I saw her last year at the July 4th concert. She was amazing. She sang "Happiness" from "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown", which she was in on B-way and sounded COMPLETELY different than that lovely silvery sound she exhibited on PBS. She's an exciting performer and I'm looking forward to hearing from her again.
