KATE MCGARRIGLE TRIBUTE
p.s. I would like to credit the photog. but I don’t know who that is. Kate always played the AD accordion on Complainte.
Today Jan 18 2012 marks the 2nd year of Kate’s passing. Roma Baran sent this* today.
*Thinking about things McGarrigle.
Just put an older piece to an iphone video of the bedroom in long island.

Sincere condolences to Madonna Badger and family on the tragic loss of her three young daughters and her parents in a house fire early Christmas day in Stamford Conn.
Madonna Badger is a generous contributor to the Kate McGarrigle Fund for Sarcoma Research and was present at the 2011 Wainwright/McGarrigle Xmas concert in aid of the fund Dec 15 at Town Hall.
Our hearts are with her and with the father of the little girls.

The other day Kathleen Weldon, who’s illustrating a 6-page cookbook of Kate’s Xmas dinner recipes written by Martha for the charity loot bags, needed someone to pose trussing a turkey. We looked around the apt. and all we could find was Arcangelo’s teddybear. Don’t cry Arc, we didn’t poke any holes in him. Reminds me of this line from Kate’s Barbie Doll song ..’every doll was working, some with dustpans and some with brooms.’
Rufus Wainwright sings ‘Je suis venu te dire que je m’en vais.’ My magnificent obsession.
During the MUHC’s annual awards dinner held this past week at Montreal’s Sofitel, Dr. Philip Wong was awarded a fellowship from the Kate McGarrigle Fund / Cedars Foundation of the MUHC. Dr. Wong is in his 2nd year of a sabbatical during which he is doing research into sarcoma at Toronto’s Princess Margaret Hospital. Congratulations Philip..
