I found her first, and am so grateful she to brought me to Jason as well. Her phrasing is always awe-inspiring, and the way her childhood turns one syllable words into two just delights me. If Jason messes this up I will find him in whatever gutter he's laying in and beat him down into it again.

When my favorite singer/songwriter John Prine says he is great I know it isn't just me that thinks he is. Damn I wish I had the ability to write so much into a song, a short story that you can read while drinking a cup of coffee driving down the road at 70 MPH and know all about the subject in less than 5 minutes. I didn't come up with that quote about the short story, I don't have the ability to come up with something like that, if I did I would have a tiny bit of the talent Isabell has.
