^^ She actually did sing Turn Me Round and was dancing her old polka style dance on stage. The audience loved it and she seemed to be having lots of fun. She closed with Patsy Cline's Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray after having the entire audience hold hands and try to channel Patsy Cline.
I think she's happier today than she has been in a long while. She was genuinely touched by the reaction she got from the crowd. I've seen her thru most of her career and even though she was successful as a country artist, she wasn't accepted by the country community. I remember the year that she and Lyle Lovett were named top Male and Female Country Vocalists by the Grammy's. Country radio couldn't handle it and at least here in San Diego she's rarely, if ever, played on the radio. She doesn't fit in with any of their formats.
She has a new album coming out early next year so it will be interesting to see what direction she takes this time. I am just in awe of her voice.
