Check out an EPK for the new record here. Shout out to my pal Helen Gillet who played cello on the recording for sending this to me.

I did find it confusing. Graham looked like he was stuck in a fashion rut! and he didn't look old enough. And yet Judy, to me, looked fairly old, although still gorgeous. - ----- Original Message ---- > From: Gerald Notaro > To: Catherine McKay > Cc: Joni List > Sent: Fri, February 18, 2011 8:28:39 AM > Subject: Re: Fwd: [judy-collins] Review of first night Cafe Carlyle njc > > Methinks your fashion sense will never earn you the gay man's card, > Catherine.

She was in New Orleans last year to make a record at Piety Street recording studios and a ton of my friends got the call to play on the record. Many of those people were also at PazFest II. Check out an EPK for the new record here. Shout out to my pal Helen Gillet who played cello on the recording for sending this to me. If you have a chance to see Helen, PLEASE CHECK HER OUT, she is an amazing musician.
