That CD was, of course, Little Voice, from the incomparable Sara Bareilles. As I arrived home this afternoon, I noted an email from her mailing list, informing me she'd be playing on tonight's "Lipstick Jungle." And yes, I held out for over half an hour before I saw her beautiful visage and heard her amazing voice. There is a high probability that I'll be able to attend her show on November 5 in Hartford.
