-----------------
a snip: (Pamela) Brandon delivers a bit of bravado and a blast of  
steam as she plays with Belle Monroe & Her Brewglass Boys, a San  
Francisco bluegrass band. Raw and sultry with bedroom eyes, she's the  
"Belle" in the group title - a wink to bluegrass forefather Bill  
Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys.

She's also the lead vocalist for Lost Weekend, a 12-piece Western  
swing band.

Amazingly, Brandon juggles both bands with her day job as a  
structural engineer. Isn't there some kind of disconnect between  
belting out "Columbus Stockade Blues" by night and project-managing  
an engineering team at the new Academy of Sciences building by day?

anyway - worth a read!
