Jill Sobule: "Resistance Song"

I kind of didn't expect Jill Sobule to put on such a rollicking, funny show, especially without a band to play off of or much of a crowd in front of her. With maybe 70 people at the High Noon, she spent about half her set vamping on new material. By my count she played three songs from her last studio album, Underdog Victorious, one each from Pink Pearl and Happy Town, and four from her hit self-titled album, two of which were requests. This was one of those that was in her planned set list -- a quirky piece of cabaret pop about a waitress who dreams of being in the French resistance. Her studio material mostly translated pretty well to the solo acoustic environment, but as the next couple clips will show, it was the off the wall, politically oriented new stuff that really got the crowd going.

Anyone know the name of the instrument she's playing?

I'm completely drunk on her release "California Years" right now. Her Schtick is so well designed! She seems so very innocent and "inexperienced", but her writing is quite sophisticated. I'm very impressed with this seasoned professional, and after seeing her live recently, a dedicated fan! Go Jill!
