RIP Kate McGarrigle



Kate McGarrigle died recently of cancer. She was, with her sister, a major player in Canadian folk music, and has obviously passed the music gene on to her kids. Her sister and her are singing in the above NFB film, The Log Driver's Waltz. For those of you who have never been to Algonquin Park and learned allllllllll about log drivers (who are actually pretty amazing), here are a few articles for you.

Also, who knew you could watch NFB films online?? There goes the next week.

  1. I just found out about NFB films online yesterday! Maybe it is a new thing? I don't remember it being like that.
