RE: Covers - 1983

["J" <jlregister>]

I think that was the point of the Songs of Experience night at Meltdown in
2005.  I'm not sure we're likely to see a "Patti sings Jimi" album, nor a
"Patti sings Dylan," "Patti sings the Doors," etc.

Those would all be fun, but I'll be happy with Twelve, as well as the
pseudo-cover albums that listmembers have put together from various concert
recordings.
