Joyce Breach
Songbird

---

Some people collect stamps, coins and baseball cards. I collect movies, songs, musicians and singers. One of the gems in my collection, if I may be so possessive, is Joyce Breach.

I've heard her sing in venues ranging in size from Syria Mosque (in Pittsburgh) to my living room, and I've never heard her in any form but first class. She is a songwriter's delight, and, not so coincidentally, a collector of good songs herself. Like the team of 11 all-stars heard in this album.
