[JPL] November 18th Sheila Jordan

[Nou Dadoun]

Pass on happy birthday wishes to Sheila from her friends in Vancouver - she
was quite a regular in the early days of the festival here and was back in
2006; hope to see her again soon. We'll be having some of her music on the
air today and later in the week ... N
