Sally Spring

11.15.2006 -- Feature by: C. Eric Banister

Sally has been around a block or two�I�d guess she�s mid to late fifties, but Mockingbird should appeal to audiences of all ages. She writes songs of substance and delivers them with a deep rich voice and pleasant easy-on-the-ears acoustical accompaniment. I popped her CD into my pickup�s player one day while working. Before I knew it the day had come and gone and I was still listening to the same disc and liking it more and more with each playing.

A picture on the CD revealed a physical deformity, yet I had a hard time finding any mention of this on Sally�s site until I dug deep into her bio page. Sally plays hell out of a guitar without a left hand. I read this is a condition she has lived with since birth. I find this pertinent for two reasons. First, she plays hell out of a guitar without a left hand and second, she�s not looking to get mileage out of her condition.

Check out the clips from Mockingbird at Sally�s site. Then buy the CD. You�ll be glad you did.
