I met Laura when she and I were both students of the blues history class at Foothill College taught by Janis Stevenson and Mike Sult, in 2004. I’ve seen her perform in bands fronted by Lara Price and Candye Kane. I recommended her to Deborah Coleman using her performance on the Ruf Records sampler, also in 2004.
She never matriculated to Columbia University or Barnard College but maybe someday they’ll give her a doctor of bluesology, PhB.
