Watching the previous video of the McGarrigles reminded me
of Kate McGarrigle’s son, Rufus Wainwright. His father is Loudon Wainwright, as
you probably know. I love Rufus’ voice. I’ve heard it described as “an acquired
taste,” but I acquired it immediately. Listening to the family make music
together is an emotional experience for me, as it’s something I always wanted.
I, on the other hand, have never acquired a taste for his voice.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people would agree with you; otherwise he would have become more popular.
DeleteNo accounting for tastes! (I'm neither for nor against.)
ReplyDeleteI've always envied the idea of musical families. In fact, this week I got teary watching a totally sappy song that Andrea Bocelli performed with his son Matteo. (His son should just model, and leave singing to better voices!)
ReplyDeleteDan Bern dated Martha but the men in her family didn't think he was good enough for her. I heard it nearly came to fisticuffs.
ReplyDeleteThis song was lovely. Thank you.
