hell yeah...
... i was lucky enough to run sound for her a couple times for in-store appearances when i worked at a music store. i'm actually a mediocre sound man, but i was the only one that worked there that knew how to run the board at all.
she and her stripped down band (cello, accordian, a guy on tele and subtle effects, and patti singing and playing acoustic guitar) were phenominal. i got to speak with her a bit, and i guess living with ghosts was some home demos that made their way to being released. i know she's definitely one for analog gear, and i think she just records at her very talented friends home studios.
peace - jv
