She is very in tune with sound, as well.

BIG JANE IRA BLOOM FAN. We played MIGHTY LIGHTS on our show. Fred was great.

Ian Mackenzie (host)
Yes, I listened to that show (available on demand here: https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/623/69290.html). Fred deserves his own show - his autobiography is also worth a read.
