Enigmatic woman
I could listen to Miriam read the telephone book all day long. She is such an interesting character with a wonderful voice range. I don't know her personally, but it would appear she does not tolerate fools gladly and says it as it is - wish there were more people like that around. She could certainly give lessons to our politicians who regardless of Party wouldn't know how to speak honestly.
