Tonight I saw and heard Emmylou along with Bruce Cockburn,Mary Chapin Carpenter, Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith at the Palace Theatre in Stamford, CT, USA. It was a benefit; anto-landmine campaign. They were wonderful. The will be in Ottawa tomorrow.

These outstanding performers are comitted to raising the consciousness of the people of the world to the horrors of landmines. Please don't miss their message if they come near you. I was truly moved by their message. They are donating their talent and have been doing so for some time.

They are all on stage together and often add backup vocals and guitar to each other.

This evening was magical and also echoed the underlying ethos of folk music.
