ahh,you´re a little miracle-worker,ednafrau.thanks a lot for all the material you posted !!
silence is golden,but in this case it´s not-i don´t own loud-speakers so i coudn´t hear a whisper when i watched the videos.at least i could concetrate for 4 minutes on maud´s bveautiful dress and notice her símilarity with her sister,but i still haven´t heard her voice!i have a bootleg of "you belong to me",so at least in this case the silence wasn´t so hard to bear.
i love the 20s in every aspect,also regarding music:from bessie smith to helen kane.is her album "look for the silver lining" not available on amazon.com?i will have a look,if not i will have to wait for the next miracle to happen !
"the autumn days swing soft around me,like cotton on my skin"
(they seem rather shredded these days,oh well)

^it is kind of a pale september, actually (even though here it's the beginning of spring)...
i LOVE the 1920's as well, in every aspect! "look for the silver lining" is indeed available from amazon, i ordered it from there a couple of years ago (first i did so from cdbaby, which were the only ones that sold it at the time, and i never got them!)...but anyway, a miracle can be arranged
here are some more photos of our dear fiona to add some color to our black and white
overload????most definitely not!!!the only ones who could complain are my computer and my printer since i keep them permanently busy with saving and printing all the beautiful pics.but as long as they´re not revolting... (and they shouldn´t even dare)!!!
i found "look for the silver lining" on amazon.com and i read the tracklist.i was so excited when i noticed that she sings several songs that also belonged to billie holiday´s repertoire.now of course i´m even more keen on heariing maude´s interpretation of these songs.even though i´m so biased when it comes to billie holiday that i´cannot imagine that i could prefer anybody elses interpretation.no one could convey emotions the way she did!!i think i will put maude ´s album on my not yet existing christmas wish list (if there´s no miracle interfering with my plans)
spring!?of course,beyond the equator,i forgot.where you live nature is just starting to wake up,whereas here she gives her last encore,like a diva dressed luxuriously in all shades from golden yellow to red and red and red (or just rust??).but i just don´t like those pale and grey days when all colour seems to be absorbed...
yesterday i noticed that rigadoon.net doesn´t exist anymore either...so many fiona-sites gone.but there is still a photogallery with a photoshoot by jim rakete.you have already posted one of these pictures,ednafrau.i didn´t want to direct link the pics and i´m only going to post a few of them.
i cannot recall the source of the following pics

new pictures of our beloved fiona, at last!
here she is, with ther boyfriend jonathan ames at the premiere of the new HBO show "bored to death" (of which he is the writer):
hope there is a new album on the way soon! (surely their relationship must be inspiring)
