her story

i asked her if i could take a picture of her hands, adored with all sorts of beautiful bracelets, tuning her violin. the group of us had spent the day @ squam with jonatha brooke sitting around the fireplace talking about woodie guthrie, about songwriting, making music and then singing our creations to the group.  

so as i watched this video that i came across on jen gray's site, the narrator started to be more and more familiar to me and i realized i'd met catrina.  i found her to be such a vibrant person and was really moved by learning her story today.

i very much encourage you to watch the video, which is entered into the 2010 Neuro Film Festival and to vote for her here if you feel so inclined!

So, were you actually hanging around the campfire with Jonatha Brooke?? A long long time ago (in uni, with you!!), I had a Jonatha Brooke cassette (see how long ago I am talking about??). I really liked it, though I haven't heard any of her more recent music...
