[The Rez]

"I can understand him usin' Rita's man, he'll be the best Billy Kid of 'em all."

[John Stewart line from *Durango* - both guys up for the same role]

So good to see her mature and grow into the Great American Songbook.
Rita's always loved to sing jazz.

Even back to The Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour with Joe Cocker
[where she debuted her Leon Russell-penned signature song "Superstar"]
lotsa good *Billie Holiday* was made in hotel rooms.

[My cousin, Don Preston, was *The Gentle Giant* on the *Dogs* LP cover]

Rita and her sisters released heartful Cherokee material some years ago.
Well worth the seeking and the finding.

Amazing Grace in Tsa-la-gi . . . Stunning
