If you knew Vanessa
Almost every song here came from someone's hard drive.
Vanessa wrote nearly seven hundred songs. Eighty-six of them are here because friends, listeners, and forum acquaintances kept them safe for twenty years and returned them to one place. If you have anything (a file, a memory, a correction), this archive would like to have it.
