More great stuff was heard on Saturday. Standouts in the evening concert were John McDermott and Emmylou Harris.

McDermott is a simply incredible singer with a golden voice, and his band is utterly superb. Every single song they did was a gem. As for Emmylou, the headliner, I could say the same about her and her band. Just perfect. She did a lengthy set, 2 songs on the encore, one of which has her memorial song for Kate McGarrigle and the other was a lively number called "John the Baptist". She looks wonderful with her silver hair, truly a wondrous performer.

I also got to meet an old friend from the Toronto folk scene of the '70s, Marie-Lynn Hammond. Marie-Lynn did a couple of workshops during the afternoon, and sang "Canadian Love", of course, as well as an interesting song about the rugged little horses that are part of Canada's history.

Now I'm off to the final day of Mariposa/2011.
