"Yes, Matti -- I have most of Siberry's albums, and even met her once.  I talked to her one-on-one for about 10 minutes, around the time of her 2nd album. She's very original, a good writer, a fine singer, and a terrific person -- very easy to talk to."

That's interesting, Peter. Can you remember what you talked about?

It seems that female singer-songwriters prefer to have a solo career than to be a singer-songwriter in a band. And ladies in music are either very creative or just a singer-idols in the commercial business. That's one reason ladies are quite few in prog, and solo careers - think of Kate Bush - are seldom categorized as prog anyway.

She's progressive allright, maybe not rock, but she has the progressive attitude. Bjork's my nr. 1 too.
