hello again,

didn't have a lot of time to responde properly of late.

it's really a bit sad that there's so little activity on this list.
hopefully this will be better again!!!

to answer your question:

with street of dreams I always have the feeling that it's not very
homogenous. like the selection of songs. they don't seem to fit
together very well.
I like a lot of the songs on it, especially "till there was
you", "for once in my life" and "igy".
but when I listen to the song "street of dreams" the break into
swing seems to be wrong, like out of nowhere. strange.
and her version of "calling you" I don't fancy too much either. to
me, the ultimate version is still the one by jevetta steel.
whenever I listen to street of dreams I mostly skip to the three
songs that I really like - which doesn't happen so often with other
patti cds.

about the concerts she did in the states: I think they were with a
different band, and I'm not so sure she did gershwin songs as well,
but I haven't seen anything yet. will try and check this out.
