I just returned from a week away only to find this sad and shocking news in my in box. Like others, I knew Caryl was ill but this happened much quicker than anyone would have expected. I am deeply saddened and my thoughts and condolences go out to her friends and family. I had the pleasure of producing Caryl's album, "With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm" back in 1980. I was introduced to her through my dear friend Stan Rogers. Caryl had done some work with him and was looking for a producer for her next album. She came to Canada and we recorded her in the same studio that I had used for all of Stan's albums to date - Springfield Sound near London, Ontario. We had a ball! I loved her musicianship, great singing and wicked sense of humour. The resulting album is still one I am proud of today. Caryl and I kept i touch off and on through the years and talked about getting together again. She even hinted she may want me to produce another recording with her. Unfortunately, this was not to be. R.I.P. Caryl P. Weiss. I will always remember you with great fondness. Paul Mills
