I’m tired of living in interesting times –
Here’s a calming counterpoint to all of the madness that is going on half a world away:

Koch's Tour 
I heard Eva Cassidy by accident last year (Fields of Gold song) and was a fan right away. I bought her Songbird album and was then stunned to learn she had passed away back in 1996 and only achieved her much deserved recognition posthumously. Such a shame. You picked a great song Teresa and a great artist.

Yeah – I saw the “Nightline” segment that was run in 2001 (it remained one of their highest-viewed programs, and was re-run more than once), and had to go out and find her CDs.
“Songbird” was the first one that I got, too – it still gets played a lot…… 😛
Glad you liked it!

Hi Teresa in my home town! I have my own collection of Eva’s wonderful music. I build computers (or re-build them) and the best way to know the sound system is working properly is to play the CD Songbird …
