   Dear David,   
      
   Was her band called "Wind may do damage".  I know she was in a trio with that   
   name years ago, out of Ottawa, I think.  There was another female singer and a   
   male acoustic guitarist/drummer.  In fact I'm playing that group in my car   
   right now!   
      
   More recently her albums were solo, though she seemed to play with a band.  I   
   never did see her live.  I've got two of her three CDs (Every Lurid Detail, My   
   Little Flame), but not the first one.  By the way, if you want catchy songs,   
   go for Every Lurid Detail, her second CD.   
      
   Have fun...   
      
     Richard
