Here's a YouTube video of Faith singing "Geritol Gypsy" at a radio station in Sydney in April, 2001:

I met Faith in about 1995, when I took a date to a house concert in Davis, California. We didn't know anybody there, and we didn't know anything about Faith. It was the first or second time I had ever been to a house concert. We got there early and had seats in the front row, and Faith sat down next to us and chatted with us until the concert began. That was delightful, and so was the concert. She treated every song like a treasure she wanted to share with us. I got to know her later through the San Francisco Folk Music Club, and I learned a lot from her over the years.
