Kate McGarrigle, 1946-2010
“Canadian folk and roots music singer Kate McGarrigle, best known for her work with her sister, Anna, as the McGarrigle Sisters, has died at age 63.” McGarrigle, mother of musicians Rufus and Martha Wainwright, succumbed to a rare form of cancer. The clip above, an animated version of “The Log Driver’s Waltz,” is something like a second Canadian national anthem.
