incredible. I discovered her when I was a line cook at a bohemian diner in Vermont, also around 15/16--all the waitresses played her cassettes while we did the closing jobs together
I arrived in the US in 77 and remained a fan. I was surprised that so few Americans had heard of her. Maybe they were all in Vermont!
I haven't listened to her in ages. I had every single one of her albums when I had albums.
