Thanks for this

I first heard her some 5 years ago on Prairie Home Companion. Out of the blue, that show bowled me over - I think she performed "Snowcone" as one of the sets and by the next day I had a new CD of hers in hand.

On edit: make that "Goose Snowcone"

This is one of my all-time favorite songs:
