Although having something of a reputation for stage nerves, Williams seemed quite relaxed and at ease with the capacity crowd as she introduced each song with a brief story about what inspired her to write it, or some other related anecdote. "Drunken Angel" was prefaced by Williams explaining that she wrote it about her friend, songwriter Blaze Foley, who was shot and killed in a bar over a senseless argument.

Underscored for life
A2k changed my name because of the underscore format issue. Hopefully, I can go to Ragman nick in a little bit. Keep tunes in for changes.

Oh yeah...ask a question:
