Kate McGarrigle
I am always saddened by the death of a musical legend to me....Kate McGarrigle was one of those artists. Kate died on Monday. Along with her sister, Anna, they sang such beautiful music for many years. If you are a folkie at all, I'm sure you have favorites of their's as well. I especially loved the cd, The McGarrigle Hour, that they did with other family members (Rufus being one) and friends. They exemplified a real folkie tradition....clear, humble songwriting - beautiful melodies, and wonderful harmonies.
