The Unbelievably Amazing Rickie Lee Jones & Amazing Petra Haden
I had the incredible pleasure a while back to see Rickie Lee Jones playing in a bar (she's one of those people with a cult following...If you don't know of her, you may know "Chuck E.'s In Love) wth the amaziing Petra Haden.
Petra Haden has this ability to recreate seemingly any sound with just her voice. A friend gave her the challenge of recreating one of The Who's early albums (noe CD), "The Who Sell Out"(the only popular song on it "I Can See For Miles"...
...and SHE DID!!! Every instrument, vocal, back up vocal, name it. Did it all one an 8 track recorder.
Here's a YouTube.com clip of her "I Can See For Miles" live...with help, of course, as she can't reproduce all the sounds on her own, but she did the arrangement. It's pretty neat.

Quote From "Big Night"
The main character, an Italian who came here hoping to start a restaurant with true Italian quisine is speaking to his Italian friendly competitor, PASCAL who's Americanized the Italian food.
PASCAL: You've got to bite into the ass of life and drag it to you.
