I discovered Jane in 1986, when a friend, who was in massage school, played
The Speckless Sky while giving me a massage.  I was living in Chicago.  I
was intrigued immediately.  I once told her that my friend played it while
giving me a massage and she said that she found that an interesting choice
of music during a massage.
I first saw her live the following year and have seen her many times
since.  I lived in San Francisco for twenty years and she played there
often.
In 2006 my husband and I bought her harp when she put it up for auction.
She brought it to us and spent the afternoon at our house.  It was a great
day and she was lovely.
The Walking has always been my favorite of her records but I love them
all.  A few years ago she came out with a live recording that I loved.  I
am excited that she is working on a new record and am hoping it is full of
songs we've never heard.  I am also hoping she will release it in hard
form, on cd or vinyl.

Sorry if you guys got a message similar to this one a couple hours ago.  I
wrote one and thought I sent it but don't see it anywhere so I wrote this.
