Paul Buckmaster and I were friends for the last seven years of his life. I loved him and his music. I cried the first time I heard his work on this song, knowing it was among his final pieces of work.
Except for an acoustic set by Lily Kershaw in Philadelphia about eight days later on March 2, 2020, this was the last song I heard live in concert before the Covid-19 pandemic. Although Brandi had probably planned on closing her three-night engagement at Benaroya Hall with this favorite of many (it was not in the set the other two nights), I had made a comment on one of her Instagram posts requesting it and so when she started playing it I got pretty emotional and was literally shaking at the end as I recorded it. "We'll see you at The Gorge!" Sadly it was not to be, but live music will be born again... Until that time, I return to this, always with tears of gratitude, joy and hope, again and again.

Thanks for sharing that. He had a stirring touch... one we're unlikely to feel again.
Such a beautiful poignant song. Well done...............again.
So Magical
I lose my mind every time I watch this.
