Just as the audience's laughter
dies down, she decides to play another
song, often of a serious nature, such
as about a failed relationship or unrequited
feelings for another She
reminds us of the complexity of her
nature.
In these shows, she introduced
some "spoken word" pieces.

The Courtyard Coffee House,
just across the Gervais Street
Bridge, was voted Columbia's Best
Coffee House in 1998 by The State
newspaper. The quaint establishment
serves a variety of beverages,
sandwiches and desserts.
Danielle Howie observed in J
one of her soliloquies, "No one I
should be allowed to eat in a I
restaurant unless they have i
worked in food services before, i
It's like serving in the military; J|
everyone should have to pay I
their dues." E|
So if you go to the Courtyard, >
make sure you tip them well.
