Jagoda is really wonderful. She's local to the Washington, DC area,
performs with her family. They're from Sarajevo, I believe. In fact
there was just a tribute to her last night (I couldn't make it). David,
if you're listening, how was the concert? Does anyone have a complete
discography of her stuff?
