My thought process went: Jerry Hannan>Dan Bern>Matt Nathanson covers>Jonathan Richman>JR covers Leonard Cohen>a skinny chick covers same Leonard Cohen song>I notice her weird name, which looks like my name and email address>Ukrainian pop singer singing Ukrainian song that the skinny uke chick also covers>skinny Ukrainian chick posts recent cover, of Radiohead “Paranoid Android” and has filled out some. To wit:

Ok, eta, I might as well back up to “the Ukrainian Uke girl” doing Richman and then Richman himself at HSBG:

Ok, so if she, Morkwa, sees this maybe she will write me a letter (earwopa at yahoo dot com) and ask my help in getting a visa to come tour U.S. and I will pass it on to Matt Gonzalez who will ask Jonathan Richman if he wants a 23 year old Ukranian Uke player doing covers to open a few shows — and Matt, Jon and I will pool in a contribution to help make it happen. I would match whatever Matt and Jon could or would put up, just for the story (which gets me back to “Sounds Like a Story” by Jerry Hannan). We could call the tour “Twice” as in “Once”.
