Kate and Anna McGarrigle - Talk to Me of Mendocino



Apparently Kate McGarrigle has passed on. Sad news. I saw her once, in Glasgow, at one of the concerts that seemed to involve every member of her ludicrously talented family. A special night, I recall it fondly. They say that siblings can have a special harmony in their voices, because of their genetic similarity. It certainly seemed to be true in the case of her and her sister. This is one of her songs. Soft, sad and beautiful.

hm, just got round to listening to that, really nice. I'm am however suspicious about how you know about these these things, almost before they happpen. I haven't forgotten Michael Jackson, and I think you better watch your step.
