Well, ok, I didn’t meet her actually. She played at the now defunct Zephyr club in SLC. I was at the front of the club, maybe 1 foot away from her standing on the little stage. I sensed I made her a bit uncomfortable, sort of staring at her with an intense worshipful stalkerlook. I was really harmless, but, I think I seemed creepy. Anyway, she sang, almost as if in response, “Lookin’ for Water from a Deeper Well”. Of course, I know that.
I barely knew who she was. It was 1992 or 1993. A friend said he had tickets and backstage passes to her show up in Everett. I thought she was just a country singer and didn’t have much interest but I went anyway.
The show was alright but not really my thing. Afterward we went backstage and I got to meet her. She was gorgeous and, of course, had a very sexy voice. I was instantly smitten. We shook hands, I murmured my compliments, and she autographed a little poster for me. My friend and I hung around the tour bus for about an hour after that. I don’t know why, it just seemed like the thing to do.
I’ve been a fan ever since. I definitely favor the things she’s done in the last decade with Daniel Lanois over her earlier country stuff, but it’s all good when she’s singing.
I nearly met her again after a concert at Benaroya Hall a few years later, but I was too chicken to talk to her this time. I fell mute in her presence.
