  • Rick Schneider from I - 10 WestboundI listen to Joy til the pain gets numb. I love your passion Lucinda.
  • Dennis from Chicagoland Burrows, IlKyle, I think that you are wrong. I am largely a fan of alterna-rock/psychadellic rock, but Lucinda's real. I dont like any country at all, but Lucinda's music is just good music, plain and simple.

    restaurant is there anymore.
