Tickets for the concert go on sale Friday. Jewel says she's always considered herself an advocate for women but since becoming a mother last summer to her now 1-year-old son, Kase, "I'm an even bigger fan of women." Kase is the first child for Jewel and her champion bull rider husband, Ty Murray. They live on a ranch in Stephenville, Texas. "Becoming a mom, I gained so much more respect for women and what they go through," she said. Motherhood has also inspired new work: Jewel wrote and recorded two soothing child-friendly albums
-- "Lullaby" and "The Merry Goes `Round." On Sept. 18, she's releasing a children's book called "That's What I'll Do," which will include a CD accompaniment of a song by the same title. "It's a love song I wrote for my son," she said. "It's one I sing to him every night. It's a creative, fanciful, whimsical way of telling him all the ways that I love him, and it's a song I thought other parents would enjoy sharing with their children." ___ Online: Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day:
