Let's hope it's minor! Such a wonderful performer and spirit.

Best I ever saw her play was at a songwriters' workshop at Winnipeg. Don't even remember the song but it was just the greatest evocation of, I dunno, call it good vibes--everybody singing along to something we'd never heard before. Dick Gaughan, Mr. Fairness and Equity, was the host--of course it was supposed to be a round-robin format. He just looked at her and said "Ach, Penny. Do another one."

So she did. Great call, I thought.
