I am highly anticipating Ani's 2008 tour in honor of her latest Canon. I know a lot about Classical music, because that is what I do. However, I probably know more of Ani's badass songs than I know Schubert Lieder. That's a good thing. When I first started learning a little guitar, I immediately wanted to be able to play songs like Out of Range, Shameless, Cradle and All, etc. Talk about feeling incompetent. One could say I have a fem-crush on her. She is independent, strong, outspoken, hotttttt. I mean, I can relate to almost every song that she has sung to at a frightening level.
So...I saw her last year at the Louisville Palace Theater and get to see her in March here in Nashvegas at the Ryman. I can't wait. I mean...I can wait. But in the meantime, I am going to be pregaming by listening to some of her classics.
