I think I bought "Dancer With Bruised Knees" in '76, so I've been
wanting to see Kate and Anna for 26 years - finally got the chance
in Edmonton 3 weeks ago. Wow. They are simply great. Two adult
women singing adult songs....I mean songs for people our (OK, my)
age. Excellent singers and musicians. Rufus and Martha were mentioned
several times, both in the songs and the intros. They're obviously
very proud of their kids.

Oh, and just like sisters they bicker, "Oh, I thought you played
banjo on this?" "Wait a minute, aren't we doing this in D?" and
half the time they bicker in French!

And couldn't Anna be Nerissa Nields mother...or older sister?

OK, I'll stop gushing now... :)
