Eva Cassidy

I'm accused of going on binges with many things.  I suppose that in some cases it may be true.  The one that drives Pete the battiest is the one in which I listen to the same album or artist for days on end.  Sometimes it is a soundtrack to a show or movie, others just my newest album acquisition.  Often it is an artist that I love and am just in the mood for.  Lately I have had Eva Cassidy repeating on the iPod.  The world is blessed to have her music and clear, expressive and soulful voice, although her story is of a life too short.  ABC's Nightline broadcast a story about her that you can see here, here and here.

Three hundred twenty-seven to go.  I'm also binging on chocolate, tea, casting on new projects and knitting with Kim's yarns.

She is so good...
I think we were separated at birth;) I have an obsessive side. Lately it's Riesen- the chocolate is yummy and the size perfect for a little snack. I'm casted on another sweater and obsessing on a new bit of entertainment too. It must be something in the air.

Ah, our musical tastes share much in common. I am a big fan of Eva Cassidy as well. She had such a beautiful and haunting voice. I'm so sad that the world didn't get to hear more of her.

I LOVE Eva's voice. I remember watching that nightline special about her....so sad.

I do the same thing with music and it drives my kids batty..hahaha

Yeah. Sniff.

She's one of my favorites, too! Our community station plays here often. What a loss to loose her so soon. Thank you for the video.

I too love Eva.

And I am not usually one to just "like" something. When I like it, I LOVE IT.

Another one to check out for my iPod!

I'll take a listen. Dale does that with certain songs and it drives me nuts. I can never ever listen to "Woman Going Crazy on Caroline St." by Jimmy Buffett again. He played it endlessly for 4 days straight about 9 years ago and I'm still not over it.

I couldn't agree with you more. I love Eva Cassidy. We have lost our CD's (read that: some daughter walked off with them and I do not know which one!) or I would have it on my iTunes as well and play it on a regular basis!!! I would drive Pete crazy too.

thanks so much for sharing such a wonderous musician. I will enjoy her over and over.

Hmmmm . . . I do exactly the same thing. It drives my husband crazy!
