I do the same, as well as sacred classical pieces in Latin.

LOL! No, I don't think she would count. Although she IS amazing. And I was lucky enough to see her in concert in '95-ish? when she was doing her "Mask and Mirror" tour. I caught her in Boulder, CO. She was a stellar performer too, with an excellent band behind her.
I'm glad to hear that she's back amongst the living, after having kind of fallen off the face of the earth there after the tragic death of her fiance in a sailing accident.
Her music is so fun to sing if you have the range and "feel" folk type music. Back in another life, we (my ex and I) worked up a rocker version of "Moon Cradle" that used the chord progression(at least it was the chord progression that Michael Hedges used when playing it), of "All Along the Watchtower" between the verses. A strange genesis but a cool piece....
