DESCRIPTION:
This is Eddi's song.

Eddi in this case is (of course, I think) Eddi Reader, one of the greatest voices to grace the Earth.

I stumbled upon her by mistake, more or less. In a used record store in Pasadena, California. Some of you will know the place: Pooh-Bah's, at its original location in that odd little building that still showed signs of being a residence.

Looking through the dollar bin, this odd looking candy floss consuming girl on this odd looking CD sleeve: Candyfloss and Medicine, it said.

I'll take it, I said.

And have I never regretted it. Cooler singers seldom arise.

Years later, it was through her that I then discovered 1 Giant Leap, who recorded her for both of their releases, "1 Giant Leap" and "What About Me?"

Sometimes listening to her I fall in love the same way I'd fall in love with Virginia Woolf when I read her sometimes, as with some ancient and wise one to turn to and curl up against for safety, for comfort, for understanding.

And in one of those curled up moments, I wrote this tribute to Eddi.
