Unearthed from the 2010 Meltdown's Kate McGarrigle Celebration tapes comes this rare fusion of rehearsal and performance. It's jagged and intimate and shamelessly emotive rendering that I feel captures the complex moment where Kate's family and friends via commemorating her artistic and human gifts shared their love and found solace. It's culled from a rediscovered one-camera rough cut that I shot and edited in 2010 and thought was lost. Until tonight...

Thanks to Sam Epstein.

I have no idea how this is going to sound. My desktop caught a virus so I'm doing this on an older laptop and the sound isn't very good. Also, when I previewed it I got "this plug-in is vulnerable and should be updated" instead of the video. Probably just my machine. I hope it works. Later.
