    The SF Gate is a pretty progressive music publication in the Bay area – ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s quite a compliment to Taylor, which the paper sees as a serious artist. You know how progressive they are in that area of the country, donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t you?

    Thanks for posting that article, Griz. SF was my home for many years before moving to Canada. You are right, it’s an extremely progressive city and has been known as a haven for artists. It’s fantastic that the major paper (sfgate is ostensibly the online version of the SF Chronicle) gave Taylor such a positive and accurate write-up.

    …More potential hits are in the works. The executive visiting them, Larry Jackson, senior vice president of A&R (artists and repertory) at J Records, confirmed that Ms. Hudson would be recording their song à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t Stop the Rain.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  And the Stargate name is attached to many other à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“priority releasesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  projects that record labels, managers and radio programmers are expecting to be the most popular and profitable.

    Good morning, Lisa B :)

  • Good morning, Metta, Lisa. :) Metta, why are you up in these wee hours of the morning?

    I just watched “DreamGirls” on DVD. No wonder Jennifer Hudson won an Academy Award. She was awesome. Somehow, I can hear LaKisha doing music like this. She has the chops. I don’t think she would sell well with a CD, but, believe she would be dynamite on Broadway, or in a movie musical.

    Morning, Purple! I have no idea why I’m up. I’m sure I’ll pay for it later in the day, when I start to fade, fade, fade.

    Metta, better get your beauty rest then. You know JJ will surely take advantage otherwise. lol

  • Metta:

    Purple – Good point. Back to bed for me! Have a good day/night :)

  • Have a good day/night :)

    It’s day (lazy Sunday afternoon, to be exact). Thanks. :)

    Rest well, my friend. :)
