NPR's All Things Considered did a lovely piece Wednesday night about the current tour by Carole King and James Taylor. Their music is so familiar, precious, and evocative for me, the tears were flowing readily. I'm sorry I didn't see their concert in DC; live performances, at least for the sort of artists I tend to listen to these days, have a special resonance that listening to their recordings don't. But thank heavens we live in an age when recordings are so easy to get and keep; some day all the people whose music I love will be gone, but their performances of their work will live on.

Speaking of people who are getting on in years and whose local concert I missed, I see that Gordon Lightfoot will be playing the Flynn Center in Burlington in October... (It's not ont eh Flynn's schedule yet, but it's on several fansite's tour lists...)
