I’m not surprised she did this for you. I’ve known Sara for some years now (she even recorded a song I co-wrote, and she let me sing backup with her!), and I know of no one more loving and giving. She stays MASSIVELY busy, both with her music and with her charitable work, yet she made time to come out and give you a private concert. Sara is a rare and wonderful person, and did you notice that she has gorgeous eyes?

Thanks so much for putting this You Tube out there. I came across this and I was thrilled. I fell in love with Sara’s music in the early 90′s and I even played this song on my guitar and sang it at my husband and my wedding! My husband and I both are fans of Hickman’s music. I was touched that she had shared it at friend’s wedding. Thanks for reaquainting me with her wonderful music.

Hey Phil,

I’m sitting here, recovering from surgery, and using this time of healing as an excuse to try and catch up on email, including several HUNDRED of your BABlog postings that have my in box almost full. I thought this post was a pleasant enough departure for a change, nice, quick, simple, and allowing me in indulge in my OTHER passion, Music. I’m always a little hesitant when someone recommends his/her favorite singer/songwriter to me to listen to, especially if I’ve never heard of this person, considering how most are so earnest and sincere…and still suck. I figured, for all the time you’ve listened to me, it was only fair that I spend a few minutes and listen to you…at least your advice. Science and skepticism, I’m with you…music, I’m a little less trusting. I found “Simply to be pretty and delightful, and the intro had me smiling, so, all in all, a very good recommendation. THEN, I decided to check out the link for “Mad World.” There have been a few times when a song came on that was so stunning and beautiful that everything around me had to stop so I could listen to it, concentrate, and soak it it. This was one of those moments. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I had to watch it again. Haunting and beautiful is perfectly accurate…and doesn’t begin to do her justice. Fantastic post!!!! In the realm of touching the soul, this ranks up there with spending time observing the Veil Nebula under Texas dark skies in the 36″. There is beauty and wonder all around us in Nature, some “out there” and some even made by humans. Lisa came down to watch as I hit replay again and is sure she’s heard this before…maybe on “Grey’s Anatomy” or some “CSI”? I’m looking up where to buy this as soon as I hit “submit.” Thanks. Bob

PS: To Rich, I would think if you were deployed in Iraq, this might strike you as more than a mere song, especially considering your position. Be careful out there.

Phil, thanks for reminding me of Sara. I bought her earlier albums and loved listening to her. But through years and a lot of moves the CDs kind of got lost. thanks for reviving great listening memories. She is great.

Very talented. I also like her version of Mad World. I’ve been trying to learn it on piano and it’s kicking my butt. She gave me some much needed inspiration!

Phil;

What happened to Bad Astronomy? All this blog has is mostly you promoting your book, your favorite author/musician, Dr. Who, etc.? It was not like this 6 months ago. I am deployed to Iraq and I use to get funny, and knowledgable info from BA. Give it back, please….

Holy cow, that is totally awesome! You are one lucky dude. Like Rob, I have Shortstop also and haven’t listened to much of the rest of her stuff.

I’m not so sure I dig her fashion sense there, though.
