But her band now is All from Akron and she says she went to Britain in the first place Only because that was where she got a record Deal. My music is american and i m not All that fond of the English. The music scene there is a bit too tickle for my table. They like you until you the had a hit single but when you get one you might is we forget Sweet s first album fool around for which she says now she was More or less invited in to do the vocals contained Only songs by other composers. Her new disk protect the innocent has three songs written wholly or partly by her and she says her third album will consist entirely of Sweet originals.
