RIP Kate McGarrigle

Post by s1m0n »

I didn't even know she was ill.

http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/S ... story.html
Montreal folk singer and songwriter Kate McGarrigle has died.

The folk singer, famous for her collaboration with her sister Anna, was 63 and had been battling clear-cell carcinoma.

She died at home in Montreal surrounded by family members, her brother-in-law Dane Lanken said.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Most Canadians of adult age who grew up in Canada and watched CBC would be warmed by this tribute to Kate:

I've just heard this sad news.

A unique talent who will be sadly missed by many.
May she rest in Peace.

Slan,
D.
And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.
