Patti's notes



Hi,

I received a "finished" copy of "Twelve" complete with artwork and 
liner notes. Patti writes a short paragraph about each title. Here's 
what she says about "White Rabbit":

When I was young, there were a lot of great female singers: Tina 
Turner, Darlene Love, Joan Baez, Martha Reeves, Cher, Janis Joplin, 
each in their own way intensely emotional. But for me, the vocal with 
the greatest impact was by Grace Slick, delivering White Rabbit. Her 
voice defied gender. Flea, our White Knight, spun the homage to the 
wondrous Lewis Carroll, who created Alice, the Caterpillar, the 
rabbit and the dormouse. It is my salute to Grace, the maverick queen 
of rock and roll.

Cheers,
Marty
