Wanna know who can sing like a mutha?

(Naw, I ain't dead. Just tired beyond all reason...)
(Anyway...)

This woman.

Of course, as usual, I'm only about 20 frickin' years LATE on this.

That happens a LOT.

I didn't have clue one about Stevie Ray Vaughan til the mid 90's.
Couldn'ta cared less about Friends til about the fourth or fifth season.
Thought Daria was stupid for the first coupla years.

Now this lady.
Bonnie Bramlett.

And, ya wanna guess how I found out about her?
Roseanne.

There's this one episode she's in... yeah, I know she's in lots of episodes, but there's this one... I don't even remember what the story is in it, all I know is at the end, the whole crew is sittin' around outside, Dan's playing guitar and they start to sing "Really Got a Hold on Me" and Bonnie takes it over and wooo man!
Makes my eyes tear up every time I see it, which I just did about an hour ago, again.

Now, this is someone I wanna sound like.
Like I do Gatlin, Yoakam and alla them.

I wanna sing like Bonnie.
I think I can, I just need to learn it.
To do that, I need to get some of her stuff on CD and learn the words, then just keep listening to it til I git it.
I can "do" Janis a little already...

So guess where I'm goin' real soon...
To a record shop.

Gonna make both Bonnie and myself a little richer.
Her by buying her music.
Me by learning to let go and feeeeel it, like she does.

I already do that with Gatlin, but I have this strong feeling that what he feels ain't a tenth of what she does.

So, yeah...
Y'all can add one more woman to my ever-so-short list of utter awesome females...
