   	He did say Nick Jonas and The Administration.  I don't know   
   how compatible they would be, really, but Drew's right about the 70s   
   singer-songwriter vibe she gives off.  Birch sounds good to my ears,   
   but I was programmed to this sort of music before going off into the   
   late 60s psychedellia and tin-pan-alley ditties myself.  Kids today,   
   who can guess what they like, or if Jonas is trying to get out of   
   doing what he got famous for doing.
