its evident, imho.



When I heard her in concert a couple of months back, it was evident there's a very deep and wonderful well of talent.



As much as I appreciate BG, lets face it, she will have much greater chance for monetary success and a broader audience by expanding. I was dumbfounded that she did not sell out her show in Denver. There could be many reasons, but, I wondered if she was a hidden jewel of bluegrass lovers, and of those, perhaps the more 'progressive' musically.



I was particularly taken with just how much of a showman she is, imho. She appears to carry her concerts singlehandedly, albeit with a brilliant array of talent in her bands. And I guess that is what it takes to be a star, versus a 'band component'.
