This is a wonderful woman...she looks fantastic, she is focused and wildly informative. I played bass in that band for a couple years and I can tell you that this is one classy chick. Rambling mess? You're an idiot. This woman has lived 3 lifetimes full of music and adventure....and you, jordiballs (what a clever name), what the hell have you done in life besides come up with a stupid user id that probably explains what you have in your mouth on the weekends and maybe on the weekdays as well.

Back when I first found the new social site Myspace, I contacted her and we communicated for a while just before the C.A. reunion. She was very much like herself here. Perfect! Also I love when talks about the era. So blessed to be young and in the scene during the late 60's/70's

I bought a Curved Air album, back in the early 70s',had a load of graphics all over it that messed up Sonjas' voice...demanded an exchange for pure black vinyl so I could her her. Remember seeing her on the Hastings Pier...she was so hot....Daryl and the rest were using see-through Yamaha stuff at the time. This sort of "rambling" I could listen to for ages. When I was at college, along with the obligatory Fonda/Hopper poster on the wall, there was a middle page from the NME.....Sonja...gorgeous

Saw Curved Air in 1974 (or thereabouts) and loved every minute. Sonja was wearing a crocheted dress without any underwear. Oh God, was she hot. Still not bad 38 years later!

Very articulate lady, charming and honest - with a great memory! Curved Air made some unique records too.. Intriguing stuff.
