Great show, Mike. I especially like the trio of songs from "Sing Me The Songs:...." I was at the show in Toronto at Massey Hall and it was a glorious celebration of Kate McGarrigle.

Excellent show, as always, Mike. Eva Cassidy singing Tall Trees is spine tingling.

Thanks Helen. Eva Cassidy was an amazing singer. I'm sorry I only discovered her music after she died.
