Vikki
brought to
you by Celtic Ways
Vikki is
a lady with both an angelic and soulful voice comparable to Joan Baez,
Loreena McKennitt and similar wonderful voices. She has shared the stage
and sung duets with Jose Feliciano, Chubby Checker and Willie Nelson.
Like Jose
Feliciano, Vikki is totally blind. She used to teach music at the St. Augustine
School for the blind in Florida, the same school where Ray Charles learned
his first music.
Sadly, for
15 years Vikki has hardly involved herself in music. I found some cassettes
of simple recordings. Some tracks are Vikki and guitar rambling at home
and some are recordings of a very soulful live jam. All tracks are recorded
live on a basic cassette recorder and regular microphone with no dubbing
and no studio toys - yet the beauty of Vikki's voice shines through so
clearly.
Already,
posting these tracks on MP3.com has raised Vikki's enthusiasm to create
music again. Within a year we hope to produce a new wonderful new studio
recording.
Meanwhile,
give these songs from Vikki a listen as I am sure you will enjoy them,
relate to them and come back to listening to them time and time again.
