Sara's Little Corner
Who's that womyn with those red shoes? Who plays those really great bass lines throughout Living in Clip? Why that's Sara Lee! Sara Lee played the bass guitar for ms. difranco for one year. Those familiar with the Indigo Girls know why. Sara has been playing with the Indigo Girls (affectionately known as IG and compromised of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers)
since their third release, Nomads.Indians.Saints. This is also where ms. lee can be found at the moment. Perhaps you saw her on the The Rosie O'Donnell Show strutting her stuff while Amy and Emily sang
Shame on You from their new release Shaming of the Sun. There are rumours that Sara departed from ani because of a feud. Totally false and don't even waste your breath! The Indigo Girls just had the right to have their bassist back!
