...title of the ballet may be "Don Quixote," but most of the action and dancing centers around the young lovers Kitri (Trinidad Sevillano) and Basilio (Patrick Armand). Sevillano dances the flirty Kitri with technical brilliance and girlish charm. What Sevillano lacks in sauciness, Armand more than compensates for with his sexy, Don Juan appeal and spicy leaps and turns...
With her second album, Fat City, Shawn Colvin earns entry into this august group. For a start, she has a gorgeous voice that ranges from the jazz phrasing of Anita O'Day to the girlish soprano of primal folkie Carolyn Hester. Like her idol Joni Mitchell, whose husband Larry Klein produced the album, Colvin paints delicate word landscapes of analysand wonderlands.

Beattie (that's Beet-y) sits in the sun in a cafe along the St. Croix River with tall pines casting a shadow on the water and her 42-ft. houseboat, Nightsong, floating placidly down the way. In her calm, girlish voice, she orders decaffeinated coffee before a light lunch ("I let go of caffeine this year"). Beattie leads a pure, "land-o'-lakes" life and has a sense of, well, serenity. This wasn't always so. The sleeves of her soft blouse meet the bean-size indentations on her arms...
