It seems to me that either Loreena almost never tours in the US, or I'm cursed as far as my location is concerned. I've lived in the northeast my whole live, and not once in all my years of living here in proximity to Pittsburgh or in New England has she ever come close. Of all the singers I've ever loved, I want to see her the most, and I'm beginning to think I'll never get the chance.
"Live in Paris & Toronto" is probably my overall favorite album, but then, it's an unusual item: completely and totally live. As the standard-recording albums go, I'm fondest of The "Mask & Mirror" and "The Visit". I have some favorite songs on "Elemental" and "Parallel Dreams", though--"Ancient Pines", "Dickens' Dublin", "Annachie Gordon", et. al. She's simply too amazing. "Dante's Prayer" and "Lady of Shalott" would have to be my all-time favorite songs, though. With a possible second-place--"The Dark Night of the Soul".
I've never read any of your books, I'm afraid to report *wry grin* I noticed about a month ago that you had friended me, and I thought, Who's this? So I went and took a look at your journal, and after reading through a few pages of entries and looking at your info, I thought, A professional writer? Well, this could be fascinating! I've just been watching quietly; I'm an aspiring writer myself, but I'm not yet out of college, and this is largely because I've switched majors. I'll have to look into you, though. LiveJournal's such a strange phenomenon; it's everything from an extension of fandom to a mass communication system. Never ceases to amaze me:)
(Sorry, the first time I posted this, the ending was cut off!)
