There's nothing quite as satisfying as getting that key change right! I had no idea Kate was such a serious pianist - she played the Goldberg variations, according to Rufus, around the house.
There was no NYC concert this year so it seems less like Christmas. Rufus sings this every year even though his mother and aunt originally thought it was a bit of a chestnut. Check out the McGarrigles/Wainwrights Xmas DVD of their 2008 concert, just released. The Kate/Anna background interview is a hoot.
You're on the stage of the Albert Hall London (with a full audience ) and just about to play a solemn carol, and your son suddenly asks you to transpose the key!!!
J'adore ce type. Ce soir-à, il était plus en situation d'animateur que de chanteur. Sa voix est toujours très porteuse d'émotion. Vous l'avez entendu dans la "Complainte de la butte" ?

You've got to admire this woman. She really put a face on it. Don't think I could do it. xo
This did my heart some good

It's lovely to see Kate's facial expressions here, thanks for posting this :)
Thanks - great to see a different view from mine and especially including Kate.
I think this is beautiful, and more so because it seems like Rufus is acting the bit of a clown (more so ;) ) just to see his mom smile.
Just lovely, thank you!
So special.x
Kate looks incredibly healthy here considering she died so soon after from sarcoma cancer. What joyous blessings her family brings.

'He just changed the key.' Kate was a Spitfire right up until the end.

I believe that this was Kate's last performance.
This concert indeed was the last public performance of Kate McGarrigle.
