Saturday, October 05, 2002 AD Is This My Julie Lee? Several years ago I had a friend called Julie Lee who attended the same church I did at the time. She went off to Nashville about eight or nine years ago to make it big in the music scene. I think I talked to her once or twice over the next year or two, but then lost touch. Then tonight, when I wandered from Paulo's blog to The Homeless Guy's blog, I saw "Julie Lee" on The Homeless Guy's "Music I Currently Listen To" list and my heart just about skipped a beat! So I clicked on the link, and met with further frustration. First, the bio section was completely useless. Then I downloaded one of her songs (which took forever on a dial-up), and I honestly couldn't tell if that was her voice. That was really disappointing to me. I thought I would know at once, but she just wasn't singing that kind of stuff back then, and a person's voice can mature a lot in ten years. So now I'm downloading a second song, in hopes I'll be better able to tell whether it's her. If it is her, then the timing couldn't be better. She's opening for Bill Mallonee on October 20 in Vienna, Va. -- near enough for me to go hear her! And I hear Mallonee's pretty good, too. (Yes, I'm the only person on the planet who's never heard him.) Julie has also opened for Alison Krauss! The second song came through -- hey! this is sounding more and more like her! Yes! It's definitely her! Oh, thank you, Google! It is so exciting to see someone I know becoming successful in music. OK, so who wants to go to Virginia with me in a couple weeks?
