She's who wrote "I Think It's Gonna Work Out Fine", eh? That's one of those songs that it seems fits well with damn near any "style" of American music, maybe past that, can't comment there. There's a built-in swing to it, even people who don't know wast swing is can jsut play it as written and it'll sound like they have at least half a clue. Just a wonderful thing, taht song is.

RIP & thanks for giving me the optimism.
