I'll have to dig this book up (got a title?). Many are also unaware that Martha & The Muffins' original bass player was Jocelyne Lanois -- Daniel Lanois' sister. Jocelyne is also married to Malcolm Burn....former vocalist for Boys Brigade and second engineer, after Mark Howard, on most of Daniel's biggest recording projects (U2, Gabriel, Robbie Robertson, Dylan).
