Subject: RE: Obit: Rita MacNeil 1944-2013 RIP From: Waddon Pete Date: 17 Apr 13 - 09:22 AM I first heard her song, "Working Man" on the radio in the car on the way home from work. It made a profound impression on me then, and continues to do so today. Her songs all speak to our common feelings. She will be greatly missed. I have added her name to the Mudcat Roll of Honour. RIP Peter |

Subject: RE: Obit: Rita MacNeil 1944-2013 RIP From: RoyH (Burl) Date: 06 May 13 - 02:49 PM I'm sad that this lady has died, and I'm sad for myself that until today I had never heard of her. I've watched the clips and it's obvious to me that I have missed a great talent, and a wonderful person. Now, at this too late hour, I have become a Rita MacNeil fan. Rest in Peace Rita. Condolences to your family. |
