And Then...South Carolina

Eight stories in three days -- I'm exhausted. Look for two small pieces on "A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints" -- Chazz Palminteri and the director Dito Montiel. Then look for a big spread on female singers coming to town in the next few weeks -- KT Tunstall, India.Arie, Audra McDonald, Michelle Branch of The Wreckers, Regina Spektor and Nellie McKay. I'm completely knackered: constant interviews, transcribing, writing and a barrage of questions from my editor from Tuesday to late Thursday. And now I'm off to help my brother move into his new home in South Carolina. See you Tuesday. (I fly back Monday afternoon.)
