As for favorite female vocalists, there are too many to list, but as of this minute, Diana Krall in on my mind.
How are you Letty, it's been a while since we "spoke". There are too many female singers to list, that's why I cut it short.
Site is very slow to load to-night, I stopped by a few minutes ago and was so slow I moved on.
I know, it's been quite slow, smokin'
