The one and only time I got to see Happy live was being lucky enough to catch this tour at a tiny little club in DC. There couldn't have been more than 15 people there. Great show. Amazing voice.11 years ago

I've heard the criticisms of Happy, and I've never liked them. I've had my own, in fact one time I think I lobbed one directly at her. But I regret them all. It's so hard to find someone as truly talented as she is. Not just as a vocal performer but as the amazing songwriter... and she always was. She might never fit our box, but we need to embrace these differences so the things we love can commingle with the other things we love.13 years ago

@raidereddie The device you are looking for is called a "Loop Station" or a "Loop Pedal". An incredible device that allows you to live record/loop live. Boss makes a very affordable one. k8fan is correct. The eBow is a battery powered magnetic device that vibrates your strings in order to create a "bowed" sound.13 years ago
